Kony 2012

Nope, there are some saying what I "should" and "shouldn't" do. Prime example:

Oh and with twitch saying he wanted to delete it Jeremy, that is saying that I have done something wrong, calling me up for doing something bad.

He was making an example of how the masses tend to do the bandwagon thing and not care about things unless it's popular on Facebook, Twitter, etc. which is exactly what the Kony thing is. I believe that is what upset him, if I read that right.

I still say we should lock this, before it gets out on control.

And Jeremy, that brings up another point, without the internet its would be much harder to spread something, to make something known. That is why they are using twiter facebook or what ever else, its a good fast way to get people informed.

If thats the way twitch meant it he should have avoided the use of "your" implying me. But I doubt it because he summed up his post with

Meaning it was directed at me.

INTRODUCING... THE NEWS!

WHICH coincidentally is also on the INTERNET

Okay, we get it. You want to do whatever you want to do with your money. Fair enough, it is YOUR money. How about we all just leave this debate be and go back to our happy little EMC lives?

Its also on TV and in newspapers.

Indeed, all viable means of spreading news, But with over 360985492 people using the internet in todays society its fact more people use the internet than those who watch tv and read the News paper. Also, the internet is the fastest way to spread word internationally, you dont see the Washington courier being delivered in New Zealand for ever body now do you?

Yea so next time, dont bother arguing about things I post. All of you.

So in other words, your right, and were all wrong?

MR2R2M, the purpose of a forum is to discuss as a community

Since we are debating about Kony 2012 lets hear what Hitler has to say about this:

Yes last time I checked that is what forums are for, but telling an individual that what they are doing is wrong and what they should and shouldnt do is not right. Like I have said before, I can do what I want.

Those Hitler videos are usually pretty funny (also it was a GREAT movie) but for some reason seeing him rage about that is kind of upsetting lol

...and nobody is arguing that.

Also that statement reminded me of Southpark.

Wait, what movie is that from?

I did like the top voted comment though:

Using Hitler to take down an evil dictator...Smooth.

Here is my opinion:

What to do?

A lot of people have been asking what form their action should take, but frankly, I don’t feel that it’s my business to tell you what to do about Joseph Kony. I’d suggest finding an NGO you like, whether it’s IC or not, researching them, and supporting them with your time and/or resources. Unless you have specialist skills or expertise, it’s likely that a trip to Africa isn’t the most productive course of action, although it’s an option you can certainly consider. I am not endorsing any alternative organization for a few reasons. I don’t think a perfect NGO exists, and my message is that you should think critically before making up your mind. Where you choose to give your energy and resources should be an educated, personal decision based on a balanced understanding, not media hype. Some will feel that it’s ironic of me to argue that NGOs aren’t perfect while criticizing one harshly, but all NGOs should be subject to criticism, and both Jason Russell (the filmmaker) and Ben Keesey (the CEO of Invisible Children) have spoken with me and were appreciative of the critical response they are receiving. Although they don’t agree with the majority of the criticisms, they understand that organizations, like people, need criticism to develop and learn from. Whether another organization is “better” than Invisible Children depends on your perspective, and isn’t something I can answer in a straightforward mannerI will, however, put in a good word for an NGO which takes a radically different approach to peace: CISV International. CISV operates in over 60 countries around the world and is focused on bringing about peace through immersive educational programmes. Founded in 1951, over 200,000 people have participated in CISV programmes, which bring people from around the world together in programs for youth starting at age 11. If you know children or teens hungry to learn more about peace and conflict in an international context, I’d suggest that you check out CISV. It takes a very different, less direct approach to peace, but it’s an organization worthy of your consideration, operated primarily by hundreds of volunteers and a very small group of paid staff. List of national websites here. And before I’m accused, I have never received money from them, although I have volunteered with the organization for several years. Is it better than IC? I don’t think I can answer that. It has completely different goals and a completely different approach. Do your research!
