Invisible Children is the new Ronald McDonald house. Less than half of their proceeds actually go to their cause. If an organization doesn't contribute at least half, preferably 75% or more, of their proceeds to whatever cause they are aiming for, it is not worth my time or money. I would even go as far as saying they aren't a good organization in the first place for using so much of that money for themselves, but that's not my place to judge.
Here's a tip: if the organization has really good professional advertising, like a 30 minute viral video for example, chances are they wasted the donated money to crank out that garbage.

@MyTie That is a bit over the line in terms of insulting, imo.
Gamer knows me well enough to know that it wasn't an insult.
You really wouldn't need to know me at all, for that matter. It simply wasn't insulting. You all need to get off the whining and crying about "insulting" people. Unless I call someone a %^&*ing idiot $%^&head, a &*!@#$ $%^& faced @#$% hole bloody &*!@#$, then I'm not insulting someone. Telling someone they need to stop idolizing someone isn't an "insult", nor anything close to it. You all seem to believe that if something is said that is a criticism of someone, that it is an insult. Go back and look at my post, and see if I said anything about him personally. No? Didn't think so.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##Well, I think the post to which Boronidze refers was off-topic and pointless. Not ad hominem but clearly a logical fallacy where instead of addressing the point you attack the reference. It's a cheap shot that only serves to derail the discussion.
This post however really is starting to cross the line. Again it's a completely off topic rant against something wholly unrelated to the discussion. This time, however, you're adding the person you quote to a group ("You all") and insulting that group ("whining and crying"). No you don't have to use all those filtered words for what you say to be an insult.
I suggest that you either take part in the discussion that's going on or completely refrain from posting.

ON TOPIC:
This whole
Kony thing
is just another example of Christians running around brutalizing the world. This "Lord's Resistance Army" is just another example of the trend that Christians are setting. Their violence started well before the Crusades, and continues even today. Go to your local church and picket them! We shouldn't stand for Christianity any longer. This is the last straw!(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##Don't double post. You can use the edit button to add further information if nobody has replied.

Well, ain't that good news.
I'm not entirely sure how his behaviour doesn't come under the realms of "Public indecency". Police are very odd about whom they choose to arrest.
Indeed. Oh well, I guess that's what happens when you're put under
"a severe emotional toll"
.

Kony is just one of those thing I stay far away from.
