If you guys don't trust invisible children then you could always just create your own posters it's not really that hard I might do that and buy some posters from them as well I just want to get the word out and stand up for what I believe is right I don't really see why people are arguing this should be something we should all agree on and work together as one to make others see what Kony is doing.  

my main point, in case you missed it, which a lot of you seem to have done, is that only 35% of what this organization gets in donations ever actually goes towards completing their stated goals. I think chaotic may have been getting at this as well, but the quick, explanation-less answers made it seem like he was borderline trolling  

Yes that's why it matters that we tell people not to buy donate to invisible children.

I'm not trolling, I don't want to support invisible children. They don't have reliable creditentials, theres also been many scandals around their organization. The donations you send them go towards more propeganda, like flyers and movies, and very little is spent on helping the captured children directly. Most of the donations go straight into the founders pockets. They are listed as a non-profit organization, and yet they still make a profit. Plus, they fund the Ugandan Army with donations, and the Army of Uganda has had many scandals about their troops raping women and slaughtering innocent people as well. Also, Invisible Children believes in military intervention, which is completely contradictory to their cause. If the military goes in guns blazing agains the Lord's Army to capture Kony, there would be heavy casualties. Now the problem with that is the LRA is made up of children. So for the military to capture Kony, they'd have to fight through his army to get to him, killing the children they are trying to free. Kony hasn't even been in Uganda since 2006, so they are funding the Ugandan Army without it actually aoding their cause.

If you want to make a change, don't fund them, call your congressman/congresswoman.

Also, I didn't say i support Kony. I do believe he is evil, but I don't support Invisible Children.

EDIT: Oh refering to my other posts, nvm.  

There are thousands of people like Kony. Not to mention the hundreds willing to take his place if he is arrested or killed. Then there are hundreds of people looking to seize power in a corrupt nation if the child army (i forgot the name, my bad) is taken down.

"right, what should we do? i guess we should just "like" the **** out of all our statuses and re-tweet it. that will show that mother****er Joespeh Kony were not ****ing around here. OR we can buy a mug and some T-shirts. that will clean up this ****in mess. OR... we can research our own ways to contribute to putting a REAL PLAN in action... no. **** that. too much work, besides i've done my part... ive created AWARENESS. and that alone makes me a mother****ing hero! WAKE THE **** UP SOCIAL MEDIA ACTIVISTS. Problems arent solved via tweets and reposts and spam... if anything, im curious to see the energy bill wasted on it."

YEA DEADMAU5 WOOT HE CAN SING HIS MEOWINGTONS ON A BUFFALO SONG TO RAISE MONEY  

How come there's all this hype abou Kony, but none about Robert Mugabe? Dictator of Zimbabwe, drops three year olds off of his balcony to get people to do what he wants

...to make a difference. Let's get a bit serious for a second. Imagine you are kidnapped, trained to use a gun, and forced to kill your parents. This is not a joke, not a thread to poke fun on, and definitely not something to brush off your shoulders. Watch the video below, this is something happening right now, and as you watch it more people are dying.

And donating money will help how? So they can lobby the us govt into getting involved IN YET ANOTHER WAR. War is nessesity but not needed to overdose.  

Educate yourselves, be attentive to the world around you. A lot of the income goes to production not to the actual benefit.

Im disgusted by some of you. Most of you have probally not even left the United States or wherever your from, and highly doubt you have been anywhere where Kony has left death and devastation. You think your little school shootings or suicide teen that makes it on the news is bad? Thousands of children have been forced to butcher their family, their little baby brothers or sisters, their parents, their friends. Also they have had to see things no child should ever see. Not to mention Kony is responsible for so many deaths. This is a modern day genocide and so many people are ignorant to do anything. I advise if you do jot support KONY 2012, then get off your ass and try to help. You think that what you do won't affect anyone, but your wrong. Also to the guy who said "nothing is sometimes better than something", that can be true for certain things, but honestly you think its better to let this kind of crap continue? I was convicted of the same mentality before I went and saw the destruction Kony had left. I just hope that you guys try to help and not only this, there is alot of other major problems across the world that you could help. Last thing try to imagine some of the decisions the young boys have to make, lose your life or kill your little brother? Take some time to think about the reality of all this, it isn't a movie or fairytale, its just a continent away.

Tl;dr but i skimmed, another brutal truth of life is.... Nevermind even im not gonna be that much of an asshole.

Personally donating in a issue that will just re occur in 20 years does what? Where as bettering the entire worrld through donating to a tech firm or r&d center could permenently end the conflict by pulling up the human race as a whole.  

Kony isn't worth supporting. Not too sure if Yephen deleted my post for the post I'm about to make, but if so what if you kill Kony? Some other dictator's bound to pop up, even worse than Kony. So why are we putting all of our effort into this instead of something else, like the economy. And what happens after this whole fiasco is over? NOTHING. Sure we made a bit of a difference, but not much. I mean, after this 'fad' is over, who's going to give a damn about this? NOBODY. Maybe it's because I'm a cynic, but I don't give a **** about the people over there.  

Kony 2012 ^.^
