Can't believe I just wasted 14 minutes watching part of that. I wasn't planning on watching it, but its all over youtube, blockland forums, etc.

Also kinda unrelated, but I don't know why everyone thinks that we need to go and help undeveloped countries. Their failure is their failure, not ours. Africans have been living in Africa longer than Europeans have lived in Europe and yet Europeans were 10x as advanced when they went to Africa. We're basically fighting against evolution because we're not letting the weak die.
Yeah because a baby totally decided to be born there.

What the forget is wrong with you?

Actually it's not because Europeans are better. It's because you were born worth technology. Like the video said: you shouldn't die because Of where you were born.

Cough the Europeans were better

This is why Christians hate people who believe in evolution.

Do you think your pasty white ass would survive better in Africa? If you got abducted at 8, do you think you'd do better in situations when faced with having your face mutilated than those silly, under-evolved niglets do?

Grow the forget up and stop being such a narrow minded bigot. There's no rationale going on to what you're saying, it's almost like you're purposefully seeking out ways to be as grotesque a human being as possible.
The second statement was completely unrelated to this whole Kony thing. I think NATO should take him out, just as they should any other crazy dictator.

I'm just saying we shouldn't waste resources helping underdeveloped countries when we all started out on the same ground when the first homo-sapiens came to be.

Thank god IUV isn't here.

cried manly tears watching that

later tonight i'm buying 50 of their posters and i'm gonna stick them loving everywhere around me

I only got to around 11-13 minutes in before my video stopped but from what I can tell this guy should be arrested for all this stuff hes done.

Strangely, the situation doesn't seem to affect that much since I know stuff like this happens alot in Africa.

I'll watch the rest of the video in the morning.

It's understandable that it may not be very prioritizing and emotionally impacting for most've the people around the world, because they realise that in a majority; this kind of stuff happens every day, not just Africa.

But every death is a tragedy. It is instinctive that people feel more impacted when one individual, with a name, with a story; has died, but it only is seen as a number when more than a dozen have been killed.

What makes this upsetting, is that regardless, this situation along with others that happen simultameously have been completely invisible by the stereotypical society. People don't pay attention to this. They see it as simply just some kind of dog-fight. It means nothing.

Humanitarian organizations have reacted to this, of course; but that isn't enough. People have paid attention to this project, because they realize that for years, this has been happening, and these people have suffered. They haven't been brought to attention like-wise from most problems.


On the one hand the cost of maintaining our current military presence in the region is negligible relative to the size of our government, and it's a genuinely good cause, and anything that gets people to stop thinking about themselves and their own entitlements seems all right by me.

On the other hand, I'm disturbed by a populace clamoring from one genuinely important issue to the next after seeing viral videos that appeal to the lowest common denomenator by boiling the issue down into something so simplified and one-voiced, and the resultant danger from such clamoring that moral battles and causes will become memes as short-lived as ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US and arrow to the knee, with washington policymakers expected to rationally act on this maelstrom of desires in a world where real change takes far more than one year.

tl;dr helping the region is important but anyone who didn't know this already by staying informed and has based their new political agenda on a 30-minute film are not the people I want influencing washington
