Americans should focus on fixing our problems before we start to worry about Joseph Kony and what he is doing in Uganda. Maybe we should worry about the billions of dollars that we owe to China before we try and raise money to help out people in Uganda. It may sound harsh, but its true.

This might interest you guys; a delightfully phrased rebuttal to the IC. Do read it!

Anyway, don't you find it queer that last year, Obama announced troop deployment and aid to the Ugandan military, but no one talked about Kony? Shouldn't you guys have already been aware where your fine men are going?

Dammit Nich always beating me to it.

At least one other person has been following the issue closely too.

Anyway....forgive my sardonic cynicism, but this encapsulates my views about most of the IC supporters aptly. Oh course it generalizes, but hey what did you expect?

I thought I was the only one that realized what Jason Russel was trying to accomplish with the scene with his kid.

They did it, IC closed the comments on their video to shut everyone who caught onto their dirty scheme. Ugh, if you haven't thumbed the video down, do so now, because it's apparent they're doing whatever is possible to make themselves good, even if it means censoring those who disagree with them.

Well its a good thing not everyone on Youtube is a moron, we can now see IC as they really are. It was a good scam idea though, got enough "activists" to donate no doubt.

i didn't follow this news at all because i wasn't interested about it. (also didn't watch nicho's video, sorry.)
but did it turn out to be a scam? =S

i dunno the names of the people this topic is about (except kony ofcours) so i'm kinda like wtf atm xD

Well since most of the money goes into the corrupt army of Uganda or the IC's pocket Id call it a scam.

Okay so first thing Nichodemus that letter is extremely interpretive of the video I mean the toddler thing to me suggests even kids know right from wrong and what we must do to right those wrongs. I mean we should stop Knony still I mean look at all the peoples lives hes ruined. Another thing what if there was a serial killer who killed lets say 72 people and the government nows who he is would we want him caught and arrested or would we let him be if he stops killing but that means said serial killer would be able to kill again. We are humans are we not so where the heck is your humanity. If you see an lady have her purse stolen are you the jerk who watches it and laughs are are you the person who would actually do something by chasing the thief. I mean we see bad things everyday we never try to stop it and we should I know Im probably contradicting myselff in this post. We have to do something even though the U.S. government is lazy and corrupt ( by that I mean only the rich can become president). We should get involved ourselves by informing people. What does sending the money actually do its better to write a letter to a congressman or governor than to donate. We should get the government involved in foreign matters ever heard of the secretary of state. So in all we should stop Coney but I dont see the point in donating money when all we need to do is get the government to help them out by getting the military involved.
