Its actually really interesting and inspiring. It makes you want to make a difference in the world we live in.

I'm already making a difference. I donate money, I'm in pride club at school (Pride Club is a environment clean up group), and I donate items for the tornado victims and survivors.

Theres other people than your community who needs help bro.

I hope people do realise that since 2007, the LRA haven't set foot in uganda, and that Joseph Kony's in peace talks with the Ugandan Government? And that in instances where the Ugandan military, which Invisible Children raise money for, have raped the women and children of Uganda, Invisible Children have done nothing to highlight the fact that possibly some of the funds they raised aren't spent very wisely, considering last year, little over a third of the money raised went to aiding displaced Ugandans'? I'm not saying Against Kony is a bad thing, just that maybe some people should do a bit of research when it comes to blindly following and supporting movements.

Plus,
Of the $8.9 million in donations they spent in 2011, this is the breakdown: $1.7 million in US employee salaries $357,000 in Film costs $850,000 in Production costs $751,000 in Computer equipment $244,000 in "professional services" (DC lobbyists) $1.07 million in travel expenses $400,000 in yearly office rent in downtown San Diego $16,000 in Entertainment etc... Only 2.8 million (31%) made it to their charity program (which is further whittled down by local Ugandan government officials)

So, think about what you claim to be so blindly following.

Picking up tin foil in the park is unbelievably less important than that video and its purpose.

thats just awful why would KONY do that.
