Hmmm... Been a whileSit back some time and simply ask yourself, [Link]->"Do you even lift, bro?"<-[Link]
Be careful. I saw this video last night and was like OMG WTF FIX THIS NOW D:< however there's been a lot of information released today showing that the actual company Invisible Children has changed and manipulated facts as well as given themselves huge salaries with a low percentage of it actually going towards aid. Also, it looks like the companies main role is trying to arm the Ugandan army and similar so that they can fight Kony, however this is the same army which has been accused of rape and theft.
I am all for stopping Kony and making sure people know about this terrible thing however the company itself isn't as good as they make themselves appear. Make sure you read up on all the facts before you make your decision as to whether you will help out with Kony2012. =]

Isn't it the LRU or what ever it's called a rebel army not the official government army?
I read somewhere that Invisible Children only uses about 35% of the charity money for actual charity causes. The rest goes to paying for its members and whatnot. Apparently the founder gives himself a nice salary of $90,000. IC also believes in direct military intervention, which will probably just lead to more war. The thing is that, if you get rid of Kony, then won't another leader just step up?
It's a good cause, but I don't believe in Invisible Children yet. Maybe if it were a different organization, I would support it.
@Sexysassyfairy In simple terms the LRA are the enemy and the UPDF are the good guys, that is according to the video. However the UPDF are known for rape and looting just like the LRA. Also, it's hard to write a serious sentence when I just read your username haha. =P

It is a really moving video.
I'm a bit sad, now, hearing about all of the negative aspects of Invisible Children and all, but I think the cause to catch Kony is still good.
I guess with all organizations you're going to run into problems and all. I knew that people would look for those problems, it's just a bit sad actually hearing them.
Being informed sucks sometimes.
Is this for real..??
Amazingly sadden me...

To end all pain and suffering would be to eliminate the whole concept of countries and nationalism but due to the fact that humans are too proud, ignorant and self centred as a species war will never end and in the great words of fallout
...war, war never changes...
Also, this is a very interesting post by a person who is against the methods employed by Invisible Children
Like Gyzra said, the UPDF are as bad as the LRA but are still active in Uganda. Equipping them with US weapons and training is the wrong way to go about it imo.

Site security, you want a war, GTFO my site. xD
In all seriousness, you want change in these reasons, attacking a leader and/or his militia directly mightn't do bugger all. There's usually a few of them, sometimes with infighting. If you don't cut the problem at it's root in some way, another group will take it's place - you could potentially screw things up further. Another group may expand onto that territory, recruiting more into it's fold and having a greater capacity for depravity. There were child soldiers long before Chuckles existed let alone became promoted via social networking so bloody much.
