I remember watching a segment on sbs dateline about this guy. There was a group trying to track him in the forest. Helicopters are useless because his army hide whenever they hear one approach, so this group had to follow him on foot (obviously without success). It was pretty interesting what people believe about him, especially the parts about him having spiritual powers. Reguardless of what you may believe, this guy is a psychopath and I would love to see this guy brought to justice.

That whole Invisible Children group shouldn't really be supported. Yeah, Kony should be killed for what he has done, but when their funding goes towards hiring Ugandan soldiers, your donations go towards people who systematically rape and kill people.

Not sure if Kony got caught, got killed, or people forgot about him.
We're slightly hypocrite to "care" so much about this NOW, considering the fact that this sort of issue was, is and will be present in those countries.
Oh well, let's hope that guy get's caught and sentenced to 100000 years in a rotten prison.

I find it amazing that like 4 months after this went viral, no one has really been talking about it lately. There are a lot of other groups throughout countries in Africa that do recruit child soldiers and rape women and young children, and although their leaders may not be reguarded as terrorists, it doesn't make what they are doing right. I kinda find it sad that Kony has been singled out, not sad for him but sad there is a lot more than just him doing this and that the western world doesn't know about it. If Kony is brought to justice, what about these other groups that do exactly the same thing?

Ive seen "Blood Diamond".
Ive Played "Metal Gear Solid 2". (Year 2002).
Ive Done the research for many a-proffessor in school.
Its not pretty.
But Im thankfull that someone has the brains to keep reminding me about the real missions there are in life.
Its refreshing to get a break from regular advertizements telling me to buy "pepsi",or"tide",Vote for this dude, Wear this shoe.
Thanks "Diclonius".
I miss feeling something that should move me sometimes. Comes with the everyday struggles we deal with against idiots on a regular basis.
Again
Thanks.
Keep in mind that like the hydra if you take out one head another emerges to replace it.
This kind of project would require alot of effort and "spondoolie" to resolve.
Just talking about it is not enuff.
I wish everyone luck on this and to NOT STOP TALKING about it.
Maybe if enuff people voice it. Something can happen.
I think this Item deserves a daily posting from everyone.
Maybe theres some kind of genius that can come out of the woodwork and fix this.
This is my post for the day.
Peace.

I prefer the term passive aggressive.
12?=cool.
I had no idea.
Should I use more harsh language?
Should I mention "boobs" more?
I dont care what age people confuse me with. I use the laguage thats most effective for being heard. Sometimes its as annoying as a child.
"By my heel,I care not."
A friend of mine once described the term 'fairweather friend" to me once and I feel that this highly employed notion is childish.
Its accepted.
Its what many folks have done with this topic.
They "fair weather friended" the issue.
I dont approve.
The least people can do is a daily post.

"Vulcanoid".
Possible SOLUTIONS.
Its no secret that children are apart of war.
I think it would be better if theses people have a little choice and the luxurie of virtues that we all share.
Sounds silly but IT CAN happen if people give a D@mn.
I once felt as you did about this subject.
I cant afford to anymore.
I dont have the choice.
Being a person thats also adult is hard.
Being a real man is even harder.
Not being a human-being is way more difficult than youd imagine.
It hurts not to give a D@mn.

Hypocrisy is, perhaps, the attitude that i hate the most. I can't stand it, i hate it.

So instead of being a hypocrite, I'd rather not care at all.

I'd forgotton about Kony lol. My life been too busy.

Anyhow what more can I do? I watched the movie, I shared it on facebook. I almost wasted my money on one of those Kony kits, but decided that I'm sure that there are other people who are much more willing to donate their money to a cause that targets only one person, when this problem is bigger than Kony. As I mentioned in my previous post, there are other millitant groups in Africa that do the same thing that he does, yet there is no light shed on this. If there was a cause that combated the whole problem and not just one person, then I might reconsider donating some money.

War.
What is it ?
Is it a life ? Is it a death?
Is it a life we choose to take part in because we have no other choice?
Is it a life or death thats done because we have no other recourse?

This whole topic went stale the minute the women bailed.

And no woman will dare set foot in here again.
Strange indeed.
