They are promoting the same video on their site...Watch it but don't donate to the corrupt piece of shit that made the video. Research "Invisible Children" for yourself if you do not trust me, and go past the info on IC's site.
Maybe it's time that the Aussies took the lead in somethingi'm sure the american government is having a bit of trouble with this information leaked out about them refusing to help out on something that isn't national security or a threat to the american financial economy... even though it is so obvious that Kony is going to turn into another Osama Bin Ladin and when he gets enough power and takes over africa he will be a HUGE threat to national security in America and the rest of the world. Who knows, maybe they will start abducting children from america and turning them into killing machines!

:facepalm:
I was afraid this would spread to the forums, I see enough on facebook.
First, who hear actually knows about Kony, not the movement, but Joseph Kony.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kony
Light reading shouldn't take nearly as long as the damn 25 minute IC video.
Second, a few likes and shit isn't going to change anything and the US can't help.
i.e. "For the past 10 years a man named Joseph Kony has recruited over 30,000 kids to join his army... ...all against their will. Through the power of the internet, we can stop this! Please like and spread the word to help these poor children in Uganda." -Facebook Friend
I'm not going to point out all the flaws above.
Third, what in the world makes Kony more of a priority than anyone else on the top ten most wanted list?
Sure he has abducted kids, he has been indicted for 12 crimes against humanity and 21 war crimes, but this is nothing new.
Why don't you give this much attention to the other nine?
Now to direct my comments at specifically RaZeR.
First, Houston is right, when was the last time Australia did something?
Have you noticed no one ever targets or attacks Australia?
Second, the next Osama bin Laden?
Not even close to that level yet.
Osama orchestrated the 1998 US embassy bombings and 9/11.
To wrap it up.
The majority of Africa is in turmoil.
And Kony is doing nothing that is new, what makes you care now?
Australia fought in WW2, whereas America simply went in near the end and cleaned up the mess + claimed all the glory (i expect some nice rage to come of this comment ) Australia is also fighting in Iraq and afghanistan, and our economy hasn't been assfucked with a billion knives. Oh also, our dollar is higher than yours. U jelly?
Bin laden was internationally famous from the cold war... People just aren't educated enough to realise this.
