Check out this article from USA TODAY:

Timing of 'Kony 2012' viral video stirs debate

http://usat.ly/x2yggG

Also a little conspiracy theory but a lot of valid points as well.

I honestly think this whole thing is so ignorant. This has been going on in uganda for over 20 years and the general public hasnt cared that whole time. The congo genocide started in the late 90s, the rwandan genocide was in the mid 90s. This conflict predates both of those and now people start caring once this video starts spreading on facebook or wherever else online. People only started giving a **** once this started showing up on there, which to some extent the whole better late then never thing can apply but it just seems like more of a fad that all these idiots are pretending to care about it now since its been spreading online.

this is nothing new...


and no one has proof that he's even still alive! this is one big scam. look at how that movie is specifically targeted at the younger population (because younger people are proven to be more humanitarian). and even if he was still alive, you think kony is the only problem? every single person over there is corrupt, and just as evil

i'm not saying it's for oil, but i'll DEFINITELY say that its for political reasons.

this is one HUGE scam to get people on board with moving troops into africa (even though we already have them there (- illegally i might add)).

It's been going on for as long as Africa's been here.
Genocide is unfortunately the way things happen when there is no humanity.
Watch this - it's a true story (very graphic)

Be thankful you live in a stable and humanitarian country. Many don't.........
