RE: Kony 2012
Latest reports, AFAIKO, put Kony on the run in the Congo, trying to rebuild his forces.
The latest efforts include him being tracked down by his own former soldiers. (Note: that process began 2 years ago.)
Also, please be aware that the Kony 2012 campaign is not as simple as it is presented.
Firstly, it has financial problems, such as 3 employees each making $90K a year in profit alone, and the fact that the Ugandan army is also guilty of rape and murder. This doesn't lessen the mission presented, but it comes with a set of difficulties that need to be observed.

RE: Kony 2012
Ima say 2 things about this issue,
#1: First of all, everybody seems to be only listening to Invisible Childrens side of the story. I would hope that you all have done some independent research before jumping to graffiti, (BTW Squiggley I live in the same county as you, please do not uglify it.  ) and secondly, its a pretty dangerous habit to start having the US intervene in every world crisis. I mean, at which point does it stop being justifiable for the US to intervene? Anyway thats my 2 cents.

RE: Kony 2012
Indeed, everyone saw what happened when the US tried to help out in the middle east to "stop terrorism"

I hate to put you down, but child slavery/rape/soldiering is a much more important topic than an update to a game server.

RE: Kony 2012
Glad to see some of you actually caring. I lol'd irl at you yotta. You just care about the title, not even what's actually going on. That's just what I noticed from the posts I saw on this thread. It's pathetic IMO. Guthrie, thanks for the back up. :p

Really? Talking about a game on a game website is less important?
If we want to chat about a child rapist, go to one of the websites for that. There are a million child rapists on the planet, this is just the poor bastard who is in the spotlight now. He will be delt with, and talking about this MORE is just glorifying him, much like a troll would be glorified through rage.
Its all very horrifying and sad, but it was all happening before all this Kony stuff started why werent you concerned then? Now should be no different.

RE: Kony 2012
Natain, you don't know anything clear, and you are talking like a fool..
Please continue to watch the video, and then realise, that they aren't glorifying him.
Thanks!

I love how that's the point of the campaign, pretty much no one knew who he was until now.
You wot?

RE: Kony 2012
Seriously. It's like America's Most wanted: if everyone knows about him, where can he hide?
