Lady Rarity Pony 4,892 March 12, 2012 Share March 12, 2012 Nuff said. This is why you don't blindly support a cause without actually putting research into it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomokoKuroki 1,707 March 12, 2012 Share March 12, 2012 I would really hope people do research what they are supporting...so they can either fully support it, defend it if necessary, or abandon it if it is not what they thought it would be.

Anachronous 682 March 12, 2012 Share March 12, 2012 My friends and I at school have been saying this from go. A particularly honorable mention to my boy Mr. Wobbels who totally knew more about how much of a scam it was as compared to everyone else and has been voicing it from the very beginning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewCalamity 3,454 March 12, 2012 Share March 12, 2012 They keep mentioning oil reserves. Canada has always had a wealthy oil and mineral cache, more so than many parts of the middle-east and Africa. Never hear about annexing Canada. Oh that's right, because we're wealthy, educated and united. The chaotic and un-governed countires are easier prey, no? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eenohay 318 March 12, 2012 Share March 12, 2012 I guess I'll watch it alter when I got more time, but it better not be one of these stupid, "They wasted all the money on paying the trips and wages of the people who went to africa to help, and making advertisment and such wich obviously has nothing to do with the campaing at all!"

It's 'bashing' whoever is behind it, which happens to be America. If America is being as manipulative as the video says could be true, then by all means lets bash America. I don't see why people get so defensive over a country. If the UK was doing this then by all means you should be bashing the UK. It's a country, a land mass.. get over it. As human beings we should be rallying against what is wrong, and if the American government is in the wrong then fuck them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gdrlowmgqwmhopqw 107 March 12, 2012 Share March 12, 2012 US goverment wants oil, but is afraid that the people won't like the idea of them going there, so they use this Kony 2012 to gain support of the people? Is that is? You know, so they can say "You wanted this!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, I have seen other videos that involve this that do kinda bash U.S. citizens so that may be another reason why I acted like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proailurus 214 March 12, 2012 Share March 12, 2012 So, is Kony trying to get the oil too or just wants to end the other guys dictatorship? Gah, I'm always confused when it comes to these kinds of things lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boofyhooves 78 March 12, 2012 Share March 12, 2012 I myself have been to Africa when I volunteered for the EPCL (Equipping People ~ Changing Lives). It is true, that the governments there are nothing like what we term the 'Westernized World'. The standard of living in Africa is turmoil, and chaos reigns. That being said, I have seen both the Militaristic handling of the local populations and the government's handling. End conclusion? Yes they both suck. But, as I've been to Africa and seen first hand the handling of the populous and their standard of living, I find all this hoopla surrounding this campaign irritating to say the least. Kony and the Uganda Government have been broadcast over the years in news forums as the blackhearts they are. It really grates me that a facebook movement is what it took to get any attention shed on the problems that citizens in African states live in daily. I find both Kony 2012 and this video to be propaganda based attacks. In criticizing the cause against Kony, the Uganda governments handling of the situation, AND the U.S. governments motives we're losing sight of the big picture. The big picture is there are people in Africa, and all over the world, who do not have adequate means of living and are prosecuted in their homes. I wish people would stop pointing fingers long enough, accusing one another of such lowness, and actually DO something about the poverty, hardships, and abuse these people face. I get it, I really do, that these videos are trying to shed light on trumped up causes and our governments entry into Uganda. I just wish the world wasn't so full of cynicism and bias information. Maybe that's the optimist in me, but dear god, stop accusing and stop abusing. At least Kony 2012 is a positive message, this video is just a bunch of blaming the American Government for the ills of the world. I'll end on this note. One of my favorite instructors in college told me once, 'All information is bias.' If you question something, someone's motives, their very existence, then research, do your homework. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
