It seems that a huge problem with our society is that people tend not to give a rats ass about serious issues until it is popular to do so. The current event that has really infuriated me, is the new Kony 2012 video that has recently gone viral. Now don't get me wrong, this is a serious problem, and people need to know about this issue; but the most facepalm worthy part of this whole thing, is the SIGNIFICANT change in public opinion since the release of the video.

I have a few questions for all of you that are crying for justice. Where were you in 1996, when 1.7 million Ugandans were moved to disease ridden IDPs for protection from the Lord’s Resistance Army? How about in 2005, when the arrest warrant for Joseph Kony was sent out by the the International Criminal Court? Oh, and that one time in 2008, when 865 were killed, and 160 were abducted.... on Christmas Eve? Remember how on that very next December, 571 more were either murdered or taken? Of course you must!

After all, you did watch a thirty minute YouTube video three years later!

But of course, these atrocities are still continuing, and action DOES need to be taken. So... What do you “activists” suggest we do? Apparently, you think a good way to help is to spam “Kony 2012”, a line that makes him sound like a presidential candidate, all over completely unrelated videos on YouTube. Good going, you really saved the world there, Those eight characters clearly demonstrate your complete understanding of the topic, and your willingness to actually go out and make a change.

Bravo. *claps slowly*

But I had yet to give up hope in my search for a meaningful solution by you common internet folk. Then I saw a few things that made me loose whatever hope in humanity that I had left.

And I quote

Children is the future for each country,,,,,,,,,so please help them.juz thumbs up. posted 1 day ago by [|wan940612] ← //Not made anonymous because this person doesn't deserve it.//

Yes wan, children IS the future. And you are right, people can save lives juz by clicking thumbs up on your comment. That way, others too can be touched by your knowledge on the subject, which is clearly accentuated by your excessive use of the comma. Clearly some people have been inspired by your words, such as this genius, who seemed to be too angry to remember how to use a period.

And I shall attempt to quote

This guy koney should be hunted down and killed he is sick and deserves to die for wat he has done we need to stop him every second this guy gets could be more lives lost and more kids taken from there homes hunt him down and kill him or it,it shouldn't even be classed as human anymore it has killed to many people [|Chazer00] 1 day ago ← //Not made anonymous because this person doesn't deserve it.//

Well, it looks like the problem has been dealt with. After all, now we have that guy to hunt him down for us.

And now that I have acknowledged this topic, I can forget about it forever. (And thus, I have emulated the common opinion of at least 80% of these idiots)

Oh humanity....
