    The things only just died down, let's not drag it back up again.

    Almost, and that's saying something since I haven't cried in 4 years. But that was the whole point, loads of shots of his cute little kid and the personal tragedy of one Ugandan boy to illicit an emotional response so you'll join their cause.

    If you want to cry, watch Battlestar Galactica.

    The comradeship got to me.

    So much hindsight bias in this thread...

    Half the people in this thread probably didn't even know who Kony was before watching the video, which makes responses like "I'm not a moron I knew it was bull**** all along! Look at how smart and nonconformist I am!" a bit hard to believe.

    A moron is not someone who cried when they watch the video. A moron is someone who didn't research the issue themselves before posting the video all over the place (i.e. Facebook).

    I raged. I raged at the cult atmosphere. I raged at the protagonist using his cute son for mass appeal. I raged at errrything.

    No I didn't know... that's why as soon as the video mentioned Kony I researched him and the Invisible Children company to discover it was all bull****. Good day.

    Yes: you are the emotional divining-rod of our otherwise cynical, indifferent and emotionally de-sensitised age.

    Says the ones whos information is probably reading each and every criticism of the organisation and believing them without doing your own research, the very criticism you make of other. You are all as bad as each other for **** sake.

    I have actually done my own research. And the whole campaign is all just propaganda. I'm just sick of those who plaster it all over facebook.

    You know I was actually going to tell you how pathetic you are for believing everything you get thrown at but I really am not going to bother. Just do some research -.- You cried at the Kony 2012 video, have you never seen things that are currently really happening to people on our planet right now? It just goes to shows your lack of knowledge.
