30mins??? Does anyone have a short summary of all this?


Kony is the number #1 dude on the Americas most wanted list

Gadaffi was like #7

 

but Kony has an army of children soldiers. His rebels kidnap them, turns them into soldiers, makes them kill their parents, makes them mutilate other people and what not

he's been doing it for over 20 years and he does it for no real reason

 

this is all i'm going to say

just watch the video later or something..

Some guys talking about this campaign could be a fraud : http://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/qlqcq/the_kony_2012_campaign_is_a_fraud/

ok just to say something to this point:

"Of the $8.9 million in donations they spent in 2011, this is the breakdown: $1.7 million in US employee salaries $357,000 in Film costs $850,000 in Production costs $751,000 in Computer equipment $244,000 in "professional services" (DC lobbyists) $1.07 million in travel expenses $400,000 in yearly office rent in downtown San Diego $16,000 in Entertainment etc... Only 2.8 million (31%) made it to their charity program (which is further whittled down by local Ugandan government officials) - what do the children actually get?"

not sure what this guy thought but does he think it doesn't cost money to fly to uganda, bring those ugandan kids to usa to speak there and hell yeah to make the movie for example?

it's plain simple that especially the first time, most of the money will be used for exactly those things.

"only 2.8 million made it to their charity program" - so he doesn't think that the other things are needed or what? without the other expenses there would be still nobody knowing about all of that.  without a good video which the video really is nobody would carew about it, nobody would talk about it and isn't exactly this the aim, to get people to know about kony? that'S what the children get, they get the chance in the future to live without kony (maybe) with that spending.

 

it's like a restaurant will open and i will tell them "in the first year they spent 500k but only 50k for meat and salad, the rest was for the machines and furniture they bought"

Well, that's pretty fucked up. Why the hell, don't we bomb Kony?

What's the deal with this Kony thing?


This is basically the video summed up, the way I see it and how it has affected .... certain.... types of people.

Priceless pic, but why discourage efforts when the do begin?

Also guys, to see the video:

 


I am not discouraging any efforts. All the ignorant fucks who all of the sudden give a shit (if they REALLY did gave a fuck, they would know about this already, so who are we kidding here?) will probably not do much. Then again, an army of ignorant idiots is better than no army at all, so who knows.

fire bomb or nuke?

either way, we really can't do that because he's hiding

a 14 year old escaped and told people that Joseph Kony knows that The Great Power(USA) is now after him

Since its because the US foreign policy is to not to go to war unless it poses a direct thresh to the country or it benefits the US financially

let me get this straight

so you are saying that the "ignorant fucks who all of a sudden give a shit" are the people who are just finding out about this?

so they are ignorant for caring now that they actually know about it?

^^ is this what you are trying to say?

It's a good video and will probably have a huge impact, you might want to watch it.

Summary:
The story of a guy who is raising a kid, explains to him about his friend Jacob (about the same age as the narrator).

The story begins with Jacob as a boy from Uganda, explaining the emotional impact of the experiences he lived due to a cruel man named Joseph Kony. There, the narrator makes a promise to Jacob, telling him that he will stop him. The video mostly builds from that point onward.

As he goes along, the importance of social networking in our day and age is highlighted, and the narrator details how far he has gotten along in his promise to Jacob, utlimately leading to the involvement of the government to send troops to help educate the Ugandan miliatry in technology and tactics so as to stop this wicked Kony. This was after the narrator was told that government involvement was an impossibity, unless enough people voiced their concerns.

Well, that's what the narrator set out to do. After impacting countless hearts with the videos he built, and the stories that went with them, a massive amount of people in dispersed communities across the nation, then the globe, stood up and protested, and voiced their desires to their respective governments. The US's Obama listened.

2012:

The issue is that interest needs to be held so the US doesn't withdraw. The narrator came up with a plan to seek the assistance of 20 prominent figures and 12 leading politicians and leaders so as to fulfill the mission. They are serious about it, I for one saw the video on Mike Tyson's facebook feed. They are offering kits, containing with 2 bracelets (explained in the video), some tags and some posters.

On April 20th, during the night, the global Kony 2012 community will raid streets and cover billboards and posts with Kony 2012 posters. It would be fun to be a part of it and actually make a lasting change in the world and the course of history, for once!

I guess I should use a visual aid in this situation.
