Koni 2012 - you all need to see this.

[willpower]

Seeming as you're all up at night anyway - spare a thought for April 20th.

Joseph Kony is a war criminal currently abducting children in Africa. Please watch the link below. Amazing to be able to participate in this movement to save the lives of children from this warlord. He must be brought to justice. Help spread the word.:help:

This is truly amazing. The power of 1 and what it has lead to. Takes a bit to move me but I teared up more than once watching this.


Lets hope they catch this evil M....R F....R :mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2:

Hi,

It's a contentious issue this, and lots of people are adding more angles to it than a hall of mirrors.

Google it, read on about it, and make an informed decision.

Is IIS the right place for this platform? I'm not so sure about that.

Cheers

General chat is the perfect place for it.

Agreed. Lots of angles. But given the goal to make Koni famous. Its kind of clear that goal has been reached.

Made me all teary too :( i have never heard of this Kony person before yes i hope they get him :shrug:

I have, and if you want to read the ICC's warrant for arrest (http://www.icc-cpi.int/iccdocs/doc/doc97185.PDF) for Koni with his 33 charges I'll save yout the search.

I find the nieve counter propaganda to be more curious than the invisible children's propaganda effort (which I support)

This guy isn't the only one - by a long way.
I have friends in Nigeria who run a free school and every year more than a few go missing.
Child slavery is endemic in Africa and unless the problem is handled at a local level, things will never change.
I find this doubtful as corruption and tribalism are also endemic in Africa and too many people make too much money off this abomnibal practice.
Forget "bringing him to justice", when did that ever work?
Just offer a big reward for his head!

Well, not here please, that's what I'm trying to say.

Popularist, illinformed, illconceived, dangerous mob insitement.

Hmmm, isn't this how Germany went mad in the 1930's by demonising one group? In this case one individual.

This is no different.

And no, I do not accept trial by media, regardless of what this person is being "accussed" of.

Much like a thread a couple of days ago I stired the pot with. Not here on IIS.

While there's been a lot of hype about this in the last couple of days through the media and social media, it's not really appropriate for IceInSpace.

There's already a lot of conflicting views and some passionate people on either side.

I'm going to lock this thread.
