What do you expect people to do, post the same video twice? The posts were to spread awareness, and now people know the message and can choose for themselves what they will do with it

People were also posting regular status about how sad it is and how much they want to help. Now all they care about is how their Monday took a shit on their weekend. Kony is still out there along with plenty of other problems.

Once again, what do you expect people to do? They certainly aren't going to board a plane to Africa and go after Kony themselves. And then if someone donates to the Kony 2012 campaign they get flamed at by people who see the campaign as a bad approach or a scam. I just don't get what you want from people. They care and they want to help, but it's not exactly an easy problem to just run out and solve

Well the Occupy protest went on for a good amount of time. They didn't shut up after 2 days because they actually cared. Maybe more people could care.

So you just want people to start demonstrating in the streets? Or hang up signs all over the neighborhood? That's what Invisible Children has been advocating, but once again they are being hated on by those who say that this advocacy makes no difference. Doomed if you do, doomed if you don't. That's what I say

No. I honestly don't give a fuck. I didn't from the start. Stuff like that happens in Africa all the time. I just think if people are going to freak out like they did they would freak out more than momentarily if they actually cared.

That's why Invisible Children is doing stuff to stop it...because it happens all the time. That's the reason why people should care.

Kony is still a big problem, he is forcing little kids to go out and kill people, it is not a scam, i know people who have gone through that, it is important, people should still care about it. remember what happened the last time people showed indifference to a horrible person..... thats right the holocaust happened. I am prepared to be thumbed down, but i felt i had to say that

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdBcypx1DfE 2011. I'm not advocating for kony2012, just saying that he didn't die. This "awareness" campaign that only foriegn forces can give freedom to africa is bullshit..... when did the usa become the world police?

The "stop Kony" thing isn't necessarily a scam, but the charity, Invisible Children has a bad track record. Things like only 31% of the money actually going to the cause, and funding the Ugandan military (you know, the one infamous for raping and looting). Giving them your money is not advisable, but raising awareness gets results because it is no secret that issues the public is passionate about gets top priority from MPs/senators looking for their votes. And if you think "giving anything is better than giving nothing", think again. That £5/$5/whatever you were going to give to Invisible Children could go so much further if you spent it more wisely on a charity with a better track record (like Charity Water). Also, although "abducting 30'000 children" sounds, and is, bad, remember that SO MANY more die from less interesting causes everyday, like hunger, thirst, or the flu.

Wasn't a scam? Some of that money went towards the co-founder's drunken rampage.

Remember, even if the Invisible Children campaign doesn't have what appears to be the greatest track record, it was started by some college guys with handheld cameras who saw the things that were happening. Since the campaign started, the Invisible Children has virtually ended night commuting in Uganda and has helped many more. You go do something of that magnitude, and then you have a bit more right to bash on the Invisible Children and their track record. At least they have one.
