Still no need for negative posts.
And why would you disagree with alienware focusing too much on look?

So people can't have opinions now? And do you think that the signature you made will ACTUALLY do something for the people in Uganda?
You need to chill the fuck out man, stop acting like this is about you and that just because some people don't want to bother with it doesn't give you the right to hate them for it.

You support it, that's great, keep doing that, but you can't get mad at us for not believing in it after what was posted, we have the same rights to believe that over that the campaign helps them as you have the rights to believe in the campaign over that it's fraud.

Look at the youtube video, it has got almost or maybe even over 2 million views by now, I think people are aware, no need to be mad over some people around a humble GAMING forum, these discussions don't have to escalate and shouldn't escalate in a place such as this.

And since you didn't make this thread to ask if people support it or not, why did you make a signature and post it here for those who want to "support" it by wearing it.

Grow up, people have opinions and beliefs, they have the rights to have them, you need to chill the fuck out, and accept the world doesn't always agree with you.

anyways guys, im off out to put up some flyers about kony with my friends,

i made it so people could support if they want
i didnt exactly say "OH LOL AND REPLY SAYING IF YOU DO OR NOT AND SAY WHAT YOU THINK HAPPENS TO THE MONEYY HAHAHA"
the topic of the thread isnt "oh do you support the search for kony?" its "signatures to promote the search for kony"
:l

I somewhat agree with PurplePumpkin. Not everyone will agree with charities or organizations with ideas such as this one. For me, it's not really for the charity that I'm supporting, it's for the campaign.

I love how always when I get into an argument and I post something half long, people always takes one part of it that's easiest to respond to and does that, sometimes I wonder if people really read my posts.

I want to close this thread with this quote:

@Skillet7890

It is something that started 15 years ago but people are just
finding out now because they don't pay attention to the news and only
youtube and are trying to make themselves seem like part of the trend by
talking about it now. Since Kony 2012 started filming in 2003 many of
the facts presented are inaccurate today but people are to dumb to do
their own research and blindly follow whatever anyone says.

Source: comment of Cheeselord123 on this video

EDIT:

Because the video is twisted...please read...i provide sources. unlike the KONY video.

If anyone wants to know what it said:
I've done a fair bit of looking into it, and everything doesn't add up.
Heres my findings and I have included sources. Will probably get down
voted to hell but I hope to give at least one of you a better
understanding of whats going on. Theres ALWAYS two sides to every story.
This viral film has caught the attention of heaps of young folk but you
are all far too late. Watching that Kony video is essentially watching
old news. They started filming in 2003, and northern Uganda has been
free of LRA violence and war for over five years. In fact, the LRA have
signed a peace accord! They are rebuilding and are restoring the peace.
Yes the leader is still out there however the recruitment of children
has decreased 80%. This isn't due to the Invisible Children
organisation, its because Ugandan military and the ICC have intercepted.
The Invisible Children group are trying to pass a bill that allows
America to militarise the region... They are providing misinformation to
woo idealistic followers. The group have combined multiple regional
conflicts to make it appear that this is one rapidly increasing issue.
When confronted about their dodgy tactics, the head spokesperson stated;
“I agree with you that leading people to believe that the war is still
happening in Uganda is not ethically right. It's something we've been
addressing internally, focusing on getting all staff and supporters on
the same page (of communication)."
If you read the news, or even had an ounce of interest in the on-going
unrest in Africa you would already know this and not be fooled. Yes,
awful things happen to people in 3rd world countries but this has been
occurring for centuries, it isn't a recent occurrence.
I think its only fair if I am to make such comments I provide sources
(unlike the people over at Invisible Children...)
SOURCES:
Michael Kirkpatrick, a long-time Independent Global Citizen, he has
resided in Uganda and other regions of Africa. He has no political,
religious or financial agenda. He wrote this article and gave an
in-depth insight to whats really going on. He also questioned important
members of Invisible Children about their motives. [1] blackstarnews.com/news/122/ARTICLE/6586/2010-06-02.html
Charity Navigator is a website that breaks down the proceeds and
donations given to Invisible Children and subsequently shows what
percentile of that is REALLY going towards these impoverished kids. A
measly slither of what is going into the founders pockets. [2] charitynavigator.org/index.cfm…earch.summary&orgid=12429
I've read an interesting passage from Northern Ugandan man however it is
not 100% verified - he has advised the Northern Ugandan parliament have
listed IC as their main priority on their "fraudulent activity" list.
(See 2nd comment, username Livingstone). [3] topix.com/forum/city/stuart-fl/TQJSGHMES035Q6OI0
THIS article asking Invisible Children why they were pressuring poor
AND illegal piece of legislation has since been removed and deleted. [4]
blog.invisiblechildren.com/201…-letter-from-lisa-dougan/
ADDITIONALLY - There were members of Invisible Children were saying what
their "allowance" could purchase them, it was on a forum on the
official website, and this has also been REMOVED. [5] blog.invisiblechildren.com/?p=5901

I have a few more sources if anybody is looking for a specific answer,
or where I got a certain fact, please just feel free to ask.
