Members madryan Posted March 9, 2012 Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 Like i said before those people from Live Aid raised awareness in 1985 too. and look what resulted.The very same people they tried to save where the ones they killed unintentionally as a counter reaction to what they did. Nearly 1/4 of million ethiopians were killed by the dictatorship in Ethiopia as a counter reaction to western aid from Live Aid.Same thing with the Hutus and the Tutsis, western aid came in too help the tutsis. They couldnt tell the diffrence alot of the time between the tutsis and hutus. so when they set up refugee camps there where also hutus there asking for help.The tutsis realizing there where hutus amongs them as refugees went on to massacre hundreads of thousands of hutus. The tutsis the victims we went in to help as a result of our alltruistic vanity became the very murderors and monsters we came there to protect them from. This guy, and if anything people who donate to this organization are just as much murderers by there seemingly selfless actions that lead to the unintended killing of more people. And if you approve of what this guys does and his organization and what it stands for, then you deserve it and all the sin and misfortune it will lead to people here on earth. in plain short hind sight, {censored} your hippy lame {censored}Let the africans figure it out! I understand where you're coming from. I don't agree but I understand. I've seen first hand what happens when you send the UN in with aid workers and peace keepers who can't do {censored} to actually keep the peace then just pass out food. The local thugs grab the food and use it to pay their gunmen and you make the situation worse. But... We, the western world inadvertently started this mess when the colonial powers went in and established countries where previously it had all been tribal borders. You bring up the Hutus and Tutsis... interestingly, the designation between the two groups was one arbitrarily assigned by the Europeans thus when {censored} went down you essentially had Rwandans killing Rwandans for no reason other than some bull{censored} label.

Members madryan Posted March 9, 2012 Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 YOUR RIGHT!But im saying the point is thats not there agenda, to just promote awareness? they conscirbe armies you dung on fool.yeah your right, but you presume and illustrate your language as in it being a morally and ethically "good"!wich its not. cause thats not what they do. Its one thing to be highly politically charge and passionate about something. But once you start using guns and mercenaries like this charity organization to construct the vision of the world they see as "right", something only organisations before this one could only dreamt.they buy armies and then go about setting up there own policy on how to deal with the situation, this is a domestic issue.I do not advocate solving an internal matter of regional disputes and issues with outside vulgar and aggressive outside influence. and that is what there doing, that is not a way to go about doing things.Its just setting the stage for an ever bigger catastrophe and more people dead. Cause if you have an army now then Kony will just have to grow and put more people into his. And if you have people supporting you, well Kony is just going to have to kill them too. And if you think someone is on Konys side, then well then will have to kill them. It just sets up the enviorment and region for war and for there to be a blood bath. let the africans figure it out! To address your bolded statement... In this case we can't in clear conscience do that. We're not talking about nation states and established national policy here. We're talking about child armies with little kids who's futures have been stolen away. The western world could do something to change that and IMO should.

Members guitarbilly74 Posted March 9, 2012 Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 blah I am not discussing any of that. The OP called the organization a scam. They delivered what they promised 100x with the money they took, so they're definitely NOT a scam. There is a difference between being wrong and being a scam. I don't know enough to judge if they're right or wrong by promoting this cause. But they're definitely not a scam. They promised something and delivered.

Members 13bats Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 I don't know how they handle their finances. But the fact that everybody is talking about this now and a lot more people know who this guy is tells me they're doing something right. I also saw an interview with the filmmaker and the CEO yesterday and they said they do not support military intervention. According to them, the plan is to raise awareness so there is international pressure for the guy to be arrested or surrender. They did raise awareness alright. ..I agree I am not saying send them money but going out and helping put up posters on the "cover the night" who does that hurt? obviously some people in the government believe enough to get involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Slaymoar Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 Like everything else, 50% of things in life are a scam. Even the stuff that's not a scam is still a scam in some way. You want to live with food, running water, TV/internet and a car? Well some people somewhere are paying with sweat and poverty for you to afford a life like that.

Members dunning-kruger Posted March 11, 2012 Members Share Posted March 11, 2012 well is it not a scam? I can personally say no from my perspective even tough they do some sheisty ass {censored}. sure there doing what they want "raising awareness"? but havent they oversteped the bounds a bit much by enlisting an army and guns for hire essentially. or is that how {censored} gets done? and if it is are we prepared to give such an organization sanction to do this by letting them go on with this farce of some charity that just "raises awareness"?

His response seems more directed at other statements than the article and since the article doesn't ever state they are a scam he's wrong in stating it does. I'm not on FB, so I don't get inundated with this {censored}. I figure almost any time a "cause" is going viral, people probably need to do a bit more research on the topic. Of course since the meme pick of "posts support on FB forgets 5 minutes later" is what 90% of people will do, I dunno how much it matters. Which might be a sad statement in and of itself.
