I think people are taking this wayyy out of proportion. First, there's nothing a bunch of kids on the internet can do about a dictator in Africa. Second, it won't be the Invisible Childrens campaign that takes him down. It will probably be the American government that eventually steps in and makes the arrest. (Or just puts a bullet in his head, like they do to most dictators) Donating to Invisible Childrens would be pretty much useless, since there are many other things you could be spending your money on. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see a dictator rise, but I don't think there's anything we can do about it.

Over 70% of Americans don't think we should be going into Iran, but do we have any say over it? No, the government has all the power.

You obviously didn't watch or understand the video, so please do so or I can explain it personally. They never said a bunch of kids are going to stop him themselves. Just, watch the entire video.

Why the hell did it take 60 years for the American population to become aware of these atrocities? I know why: because people don't actually care. This is going to become just like the "Save Darfur," "Project Earth," and "Occupy Wall Street" movements that were once the latest craze for teenagers and college students to jump on the bandwagon and preach their ideologies all over. Then, once they realize that change is harder than it really looks, they'll move onto the next heinous crime against humanity, just so they can sleep at night and call themselves righteous...

Better to support the cause than ignoring it pretending no-one gives a [poo]. Look at the arab spring, that came about largely with the help of facebook. If this thing fails, at least people tried.

Yes, because the Arab Spring turned out so well.

Kony has been at it for nearly thirty years now. The Western powers have known, Uganda just isn't worth [poo] to them. Maybe China for once will step in. They have quite extensive investments throughout Africa. That'd be interesting to see. Although from my time over there it is my understanding they don't want to be sucked into the world police role. They much prefer letting the US waste it self in that role.

For once, I agree with Sammy boy. This is just another show you care by doing nothing sort of thing. Pretty sure the Ugandan military is just as bad as Kony the Bologna. Granted I haven't looked it up, just got a feeling. I FEEL DA FORCE Y'ALL.

Viral video of the week. Its all over Facebook and my 13 year old is asking me to buy her the $35 awareness pack. They also offer a $225 awareness pack. They both have tshirts, buttons, bracelets, and posters.
Just like the hokey pokey; that's what its all about.

Despite making little sense, being untrue and of a highly uninformed opinion, I did find that amusing.
