    I never sais it was a war. However, it is war propaganda. Also, I don't like being spammed with such things.

    What do you think of the fact that the man behind that KONY organisation was arrested yesterday for masturbating in public?

  • @BeautyHealthZoneBlog This isn't a war, and i wasn't saying it should be prioritized. I was merely stating that it is the operation is legitimate.

  • @Iwebguru

    Yes, but there are other pressing issues close to home and elsewhere that need attention like people being swept away in floods, tornadoes, starving children and homeless people, elections etc, not some invisible boogeyman that nobody has heard of until less than a week ago. That is all I'm saying. I never mentioned anything about money in my previous comments and I do not donate my money to anything related to war.

  • @Unclesamslair first of all i don't think he should be dealt with, his power base is gone and he might be dead. the best thing we can do is send aid to civilians and try to not get government involved in policing the world

  • BTW victims are idiots, you we're ashamed? Well.... that's great the next girl that got raped is your fault coward, do you think about her? Nope, just your personal shame, see how selfish people are? Even the most victimized are the most greedy and self centered.

  • You tried to sign a peace treaty with a man that kidnaps children makes them murder their parents, probably brutally rapes them repeatedly until they're broken and forces them into a life of murder, and you think you retard that negotiations are going to bear fruit? And all this African defensiveness, I'm sorry you've had hundreds of years, your failure to build a civilization whether everyone was bulldogging you or not is a moot point, the World will show Africa again.

  • @pimpinspartan fine then, how would you have us deal with Kony?

  • No see, the story will be written Ugandans failed, so Western people had to fix their problem so when we're stealing your resources in a hundred years no one feels guilt since we had to hold your hand to give you a society.

  • oh lord no wonder nothing ever gets done there......talk about looking a gift horse int he mouth instead of running with a good thing.
