KONY 2012

Re: KONY 2012

I've read everything and I can understand where both sides are coming from.

But what gets me are these comments: "You pay money to them, get a kit, you think you're a hero, blahblahblah."

Excuse me but, I have never heard of this man until yesterday around the time I first posted on this thread. I know all the video asked was to help spread knowledge of who the asshole was, which I immediately wanted to do.

I wasn't being forced to donate, I wanted to on my own because...believe it or not...I was horrified about the situation and actually with all of my heart wanted to help with what I can and...wait for it...did it without thinking of myself as being some 'hero'.

I know it's not a lot and I wish I can do more, but I did what I can for now and I'm hoping I can help spread who Kony is in my community just because I honestly feel for those kids and despise what this man is doing.

Derp, I donated money, I must think I'm some glorious bastard now, right?

as far as I can tell most of the people on facebook and stuff aren't being annoying and self righteous at all they just care and want to do something, so yeah

What does it matter if someone else does something that you don't agree with if it doesn't affect you in any way?

Re: KONY 2012

I'm at work asking peers and and another co-worker who works as an intern for non-profit organization talking about this. I've gain more perspectives on this subject, still thinking at the least donating what I have was right.

But there really isn't just ONE right. Advocating and sharing the awareness is just as right as not spending any money for this organization. Knowing about Kony is a start, but the organization's intentions of finding him and bringing him to justice really ISN'T a solution. Kids are brainwashed and are in his rebellion, so in order to get to him, there may be kids who will fight against the good fight. If this was for the kids, some may die if retaliation is used.

I agree with make people aware of Kony and the terrible things he has done, 'tis why I did my part. But putting things in perspective, violence and retaliation does not solve anything.

Choof, t-rog, I never shitted on your standpoint, and I am with volunteering. I just fuccen hate tacos bro.

Re: KONY 2012

also the only reason i came back was because i read a post that deadmau5 made and thought he made a good point so i came to post it

"well YES… i do get a lot upset inside when war is waging in other lands, and im sitting here making music, or planning a tour. Seems the only thing i can do is just read up about a little more about it, maybe spread a little more “awareness”. But to me “awareness” is a funny thing…

So there i was standing outside my house as it was burning down. To create awareness, i screamed out loud, i tweeted, i facebooked, “HOLY ****, EVERYONE… MY ****ING HOUSE IS BURNING DOWN” everyone came over… and we were all very upset, we talked about it, we raised more awareness… yeah.. everyone was well aware that my shit was burning down. Then my ****ing house burnt down.

What would have been awesome is if people brought a hose, or a bucket of water, or something that might subdue the flames."

Re: KONY 2012

I was more talking about donating money.

But as for that, it is interesting as to why it should matter to everyone. It's hard to argue against Kony being wrong, but most of the people who watch this video are getting sucked in just because it makes them feel bad. Is feeling guilty enough of a reason? At any rate this is related to one of my favorite video game quotes.
