PLEASE WATCH

[grant748]

all of a sudden ppl start talking about kony 2012 in youtube lol.

[mhj]

I doubt anyone will watch the entire video.

I watched two minutes and got bored.

[123bomb123]

I read a book a long time ago about LRA and the story of Jacob and 5 others who get captured by him. It's been going on since the late 80's and now all of a sudden people are becoming more aware because of social media which is a good thing but ask one of them who Joseph Kony was a year ago and their face is blank because they just don't care, unless there is so much attention to it.

/small rant.

Wikipedia is faster and better knowledge than watching this video. But Kony should be stopped for sure.

Yeah, people didn't know about it a year ago. But that's the point of Kony 2012 - to raise awareness. That's the exact reasoning behind their goals, because no one knew about him until now.

I'm pretty sure people knew about child soldiers at least..

Actually, I've talked to quite a few people recently that had no idea, but anyways...

Yes, but they never had a face/name to pin the crimes to. Now that they do, many feel like it will finally be able to be put to an end.

Even if they get Kony, there will always be another sick pervert who will take advantage of the youth in a third world country.

So you're saying they shouldn't even bother trying to stop him? It's a waste of time, and there's no point trying to end the abduction of children in today's world? o_O

No you said it was going to be put to an end. It's a +1 to stop the man who's responsible for most if not all of the kidnapping and slavery. I'm just saying that there are sick people.

Hmm.. Found out about this today. It is sad; I might buy a bracelet to show support, I've already told a few mates at school.

..Can someone give me a small summary on what this is? ._.

Joseph Kony is a guy who has been fighting the Ugandan Government and trying to "Christianize" it by forming the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army) and capturing young boys forcing them to join while the girls are used as sex slaves.
