Re: KONY 2012
It's sad that this is finally catching on, this has been going on forever, I found out about Invisible Children around September when they came to my school and one of the people from Uganda visited. I myself already bought their "action kit." I know it's for a good cause and now it seems 4/20 isn't gonna be get stoned day, it's gonna be get Kony day lol.
It's just really sad though that this is just now catching on, and seeing people on facebook complaining about who posted what first, a video can easily change people's perspectives. |

Re: KONY 2012

I'm glad it's being opened up on FFR. |

Re: KONY 2012
Just purchased an Action Kit.
I've known about Joseph Kony for many years, but this is an incredible revolution. O_O

Re: KONY 2012
^basically this. I've known for a while, but this is actually really cool that it's catching on, even if it IS so late in the game.
(plus I needed a new avatar anyway woo~)

It's honestly awesome though watching IC's facebook page go from 680k to 808k in a matter of hours, and it's growing at a rapid rate.

Re: KONY 2012
I don't understand what this is, I'm not going to watch a 30 minute youtube video.

Re: KONY 2012

Re: KONY 2012
Just watched it and I'm glad that I did since I was going to head to bed a half hour ago. I'll get myself an action kit too and notify my friends. Thanks for the news.

Re: KONY 2012
Oh, so it's just another terrorist, but instead of getting people to fight for him, he abducts children and brainwashes them.
Sucks.

Re: KONY 2012
I'm one of many who never heard of him. Making a pledge and getting that Action Kit because it's right.

Re: KONY 2012
In a nutshell, Kony is some terrorist leader in Africa who abducts children and forces them to do all kinds of cruel things. In general, boys were made into guards and girls were made into sex slaves. If any of the children tried to run away or tried to go against him, they were killed on the spot in the most cruel ways possible. He has been doing it for over 20 years and no one bothered to do anything...until now. He is someone that needs to be stopped and for him to be stopped, we have to make him "famous" and to help with that, get yourself an Action Kit and tell everyone you know about him and how they could help spread the word.

Re: KONY 2012
I'm glad the members of FFR are more understanding of this issue.
I tried asking moderation of another site that I use to help pass it on. Their response? "No thanks." The assholes. |

Re: KONY 2012
Not really heartless, I'm just trying to understand why Joseph Kony garnered enough attention overnight to start a "movement."
Yeah, it sucks that he's using kids for terrorist acts but is that the only reason people care about him? Just because of the kids? Think to yourself, if he was gaining adult followers through propaganda, would there be a movement like this at all?

I read an article about tipping (DO NOT start debating this, I just want to make a reference) and it honestly disgusted me how many people ripped apart the author because said person shared his/her feelings on the fact that we should be kind to waiters/waitresses and tip. I myself generally tip decently because I like the idea of helping out, but reading the comments people were making was disgusting...if a waiter forgets you're there for an hour, that's one thing but meh. People these days have no heart and it's disgusting. (Again, do NOT start debating tipping, I don't want to derail this thread...) @Choofers, sorry if I sounded like I was attacking you ~_~ not really what I was going for
