of course, but Kony2012 is not the way to stop it..
you just start another evil by supporting Kony2012
In this world we can rarely eradicate evil, merely replace it with a lesser one. A man who systematically rapes young girls, kidnaps children and mutilates civilians against some maybe spoilt and self-centered Americans who maybe even may make some money from it. Seems like an easy choice.
all the organizations with military power in the world (including states, armies) are controlled by "bad guys", in simple words..this is the rule of the nature; power brings evil..
I am a sceptic but this is a very pessimistic world view that I have to, perhaps naievely, reject. You really think every nation on earth is ruled by bad guys and has an evil army? Denmark? Sweden? New Zealand? Samoa? India? Bhutan? Finland? Barbados? Really?
i want to shout at those people; "YOU ARE NOTHING, as long as you are begging mercy from the evil"..
if you want to be something, shut down your computer, go there and help those people physically
First most people will not be willing to make the commitment, second if an accountant from Nebraska does fly to Uganda what will he then do that is so useful?
Newsweek
No doubt the campaign is very America-centric but so are most Americans. Look at a US newsparer and read the world news section. It is really just about US interests abroard. This is one of the reasons I like this campaign, it is a refreshing break from their inward looking tendencies.
somewhere he says "US army doesn't go abroad if it's not a self-defense issue"...this guy is a fricking joke
Ill informed, gullible, naieve, patriotic etc no doubt. But he is willing to stand up for a cause that isn't just self interest and I admire that.
I remember how I used to go to protests against apartheit and we would all sing, "Freeeeeee, Nelson Mandella". We had no direct impact on anything, but eventually the attitudes in society changed where the average person no longer thought that supporting or trading with South Africa was acceptable and the governments of the world were eventually dragged along as well and things happened.
Call me naieve, but I beilive the people do have the ability to change government policy for the better.
