    I agree, forget about the fact he's being kept alive and no special forces are touching him, let's send in NATO in another 'humanitarian' mission and save the world again... mmm mmm juicy Ugandan oil fields.

     

    You want to change the world? Expose our intelligence agencies who fund these people would be a start.

    Which FF Character Are You?

    I gave him about 10 minutes to get to the point and it never happened. The dude needs some serious lessons on how to captivate an audience because I would've fallen asleep if I watched a minute more.

    How is this not considered politics?  There's no way to really respond to what the guy talks about without getting political.   While this guy intentions seem ok on the surface.. It feels and looks more like a "Pay me so I can live like a hippie" crap.

    Mods have you watched this?  If so are you giving us the green light to discuss this video and what he talks about.

    Kony hasn't been active in ages and his group singed a peace treaty 2 years ago.

    Another thing that's odd.. Konys group isn't even in Uganda.

    The vid has been worming around facebook a bit. 

    Doubt it's a scam. Likely just some guy tyring to increase awareness about some scumbag as part of a college project. His intentions are probably well meaning.

    I had the displeasure of having to hear about it from the wife after coming home from work today. She plans to take part in the movement. Fine by me. It should keep her busy for a bit. Clearly this Kony character needs to be handed a well deserved dirt-nap. Not only for his behavior, but also for eating up my game time while I had to listen to the atrocities this koo-koo bird has taken part  in from my better half.

    BTW, nice name above poster. =)

    I'm not voting for him!

    So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys...I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the breakers, a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you, Jerry, at that moment ... I was a marine biologist.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-17305470 This sums up some of the problems with this little campaign.

    All this really is, is a small group trying to cash in on someone elses plight.  "You too can help spread the word, buy your kit today!!!!" 

     

    If post 6 in this thread is correct as well. Then that's more than enough reason to dismiss this group.  Wasn't that one of this films biggest selling points?  "Those horrible people gave him a cease fire and he was able to re-arm!"
