KONY 2012

[quote=Bryun]How did this get so personal? I'm guessing the post I wrote was overlooked? IC uses 80% of the money to further their tri-fold mission. They do not keep 5 million to themselves. 32% was used for DIRECT cause, such as building schools over there so the children could have an education. And again, he's been inactive in UGANDA for 6 years. He moved regions and is still doing what he has been, just not in Uganda.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]It got personal when Canoas attacked me on a personal level, after having assumed I support KONY2012, even though I clearly made sure to note that was not the case. He simply misunderstood everything I wrote and insulted me for what he assumed I had said all the while.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]@Dufftime No, you are commenting on kony2012. If you weren't then you wouldn't be posting on a topic called "KONY 2012". Whether you like it or not that is what we're talking about, if you want to go talk about something else then open your own topic. I'm not angry, I'm just amazed by your stupidity. You're the first person I've encounter who believes money is infinite. It is not. Money is either used for good causes or bad causes or divide it between both good and bad. However, you cannot duplicate the money and use it for both. I repeat YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH. Either you choose the good causes like helping the hungry or you choose the bad causes and help give these guys money. Any cent you give them could be better used. It is being wasted. I do understand what you're saying, what I can't understand is how you convince yourself that those who thing you are stupid are just misunderstanding you. No. I understand what you said and still think you are stupid. I doubt I'm the only one. @Bryun It gets personal the moment you open a discussion on such a topic. Some things are worth getting personal over, and supporting a movement that tries to "steal" and misuse money that people believe is for a noble cause is one of them. Kony 2012 is harmful, more harmful than Kony is. Just see how many children unicef could save with 8 million and how many they saved with the same 8 million. The difference is the amount of people that organization killed by not using their funds properly.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Again with illogical ramble and senseless insults. You don't even have a basic understanding of logical thought process. I did not say money is infinite, I said both causes are worth sinking money into. Your ability to properly process information is astoundingly low.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Why, because it would require infinite money to facilitate sinking money into multiple funds worth sinking into? Please, say yes. And then if that's the case, you're insinuating that my own ability to process logic is low. Compelling argument, really. And perhaps you found it amusing that I am remarking on his logical thought process and ability to process information, and then also comment that he is insulting me. *Nod* yeap, you got me, I'm a true blue hypocrite. *Face desk* No reason to argue with those who can't see the shades of grey and can only see the black and white. Very likely taking my leave of this thread at this point.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Well you've said it yourself, I arrived at said assumptions by extrapolating said meanings. And anyway I didn't mean that you were saying those things 100%, just displaying what came to mind and trying to decipher what you actually did mean. So, being the case, might I ask what you actually did mean with the post? (If you didn't mean anything by it, it was a long day and I've been dealing with Canoas, I'm used to random insults coming out of nowhere.)[/quote]

I just laughed for 3 minutes at a turtle eating a bird.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]One thing is to support different causes, another is support stupid causes. There are plenty good charity foundations out there, invisible children is not on of them. If you're looking for a way to help central Africa then donate to Africare or another charity of the sort. They will know what's the best way to help and what to do with that money. You are across an entire ocean, blinded by the 10 year old images of a war zone. Uganda is not like that any more. You do not know what they need the most. Let the people WHO DO handle your money IF you want to HELP. If you don't want to help and just want to feel like your doing something then by all means donate and support to invisible children, it'll make those 3 guys very happy. Every single cent you waste on invisible children, or any other organization that focuses solely on catching kony (I don't thing there's more), is a wasted cent that could have gone to a better organization that will use that cent as best as they can in the causes that really need support. Warlords come and go. Catching one after 30 years will do absolutely nothing to stop a new one from rising tomorrow. Also, my insults are not random. You being stupid is the conclusion I get to after reading your posts. It is not a fallacy or illogical. Ad Hominem does not apply. I am not saying "You are wrong BECAUSE you're stupid", I'm saying "You are wrong, what you wrote does not make sense, THEREFORE you are stupid". It is very easy to evaluate someone's intelligence by how and what they write, and that is my evaluation. tl;dr: Donate to Africare and stop supporting Kony 2012 and invisible children.[/quote]
