So, why am I posting this? This is important, this is about a man, KONY, who kidnaps children, turning boys into soldiers and girls into sex slaves. He then makes the boys mutilate people and kill their own parents. Please watch the video and share it everywhere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc
Thanks tc, I hadn't seen this yet. Perhaps if world leaders actually focused on issues that matter the world would be a much better place. Too bad there's not oil in Uganda...
Ok, I've been asleep all day, so I have no clue what this is :P
Might watch the video some other time.

Watch it now. You'll be shocked. Why? Cause he is the first African dictator to abuse children? No because he's such a b@stard and society let him go for so long without being punished.

Welcome2AfricaWelcome to a world in which we would do something about the problems in Africa if they had something we wanted. But they don't so f uck 'em. The real horrors don't really strike a cord until they're presented up close and personal. A lot of people hear about this stuff going on, but it's completely different when you watch videos of actual people going through this. And it's a whole other ball game when you're actually there. But really now, I hear people complaining about how awful humanity is all the time. You could give up all your time and all your money to help these people, and they'd still be worse off than you. But you aren't... We're all selfish, but don't like you're better than us for being less so.
This is the guy that made Laughing Octopus in MGS4?
Anyways, yeah this guy is bad, and I'd say NATO's lack of involvement is a bit shocking. I also find it said that he does this under the pretense of Christianity, which shows that you can always twist something that should have been good into something terrible.

I think if people start to think that's normal, and acceptable to be selfish and its "human nature", then that spreads it. That's not how it is, or else we wouldn't make a bit deal out of it, and I have enough faith in humanity to think there is some possibility of good in even the worst monster, though Kony needs to be caught and put to trial so his group can disband and no more kids will have to go through this.
I Googled it and its not looking good,most of google hits are saying its a scam but hey check it yourselves before you shout,it is in deed a sad sad situation and a true situation but the worst part would be if this was actually a scam,I hope its not. I will be looking into it and if its legit I will be making a donation because standing together is what counts when we have nothing left. P3ACE

That's not true. Not all humans are like this. Become a psychology major. We ****ing suck. Humans can still have empathy. And some are even altruistic. So, I disagree with the notion that all of humanity is terrible.

It's just that'd you be surprised to know how many of our good deeds are for mostly our personal benefit. After seeing all those Kony 2012 videos spammed all over FaceBook, and knowing that people simply want to look like a good person and will not do a damn thing to help in any way outside of this, I'm inclined to think this way.

I dont think you can remove the factor of one's own self even with as "pure" feelings as empathy no matter the form it's acted upon. But that's no reason imo to consider all of our actions selfish (assuming what I said earlier is true). For me what matters is how consciously or subconsciously we ourselves connect our actions for various causes to our own needs, desires etc.

I'm very much aware of how selfish people can be. I just like to focus on the bright side.
