It's interesting that you stated that, because I think there can be no truer statement. To be more specific, man's natural emotion, ego and closed-mindedness are his own worst enemy. I must say, some good did come out of this after all.
Good one, but to be honest, most Americans students couldn't even find the US itself, on a world map. So in terms of finding a nation that probably the bulk of Americans never even heard of? One may as well show them a picture of Jupiter; they frankly wouldn't appreciate any difference, LOL... Remember this? [video=youtube;lj3iNxZ8Dww]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww[/video] -bowroflarms -bowroflarms -bowroflarms That's why people here can only latch onto "feel good" things with social media. Americans today on the whole, lack the real substance that their forebears worked so hard for. We tend to flit from one superficial politically correct item du jour to the next; is is any wonder that the US is on the decline? At any rate, here's a response found on Youtube that originally aired on CNN: [video=youtube;tRTRJW9GmnU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRTRJW9GmnU[/video] And just who is Ismael Beah? Despite a noted controversy, he is a writer who nonetheless was there, having lived the life himself. He fought as a child soldier in Sierra Leone; ostensibly one of the children that the makers of "Kony 2012" profess that they are trying to save. Just listen to what he says about this viral video. Now check this out: [video=youtube;i1z5Q3Dyw1U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1z5Q3Dyw1U&feature=related[/video] I wonder how many people in the world who, after being quickly knee jerked into donating money to Invisible Children, are now kicking themselves for having been bamboozled (flim-flammed, hornswoggled, deceived, bilked, defrauded, ie. ripped off), LOL... All of this sort of reminds me of what happened after Sichuan and Haiti, when unscrupulous people pocketed tens of thousands by scamming well meaning givers. Even Zhang Ziyi was taken to task as millions of charity dollars (collected by her in the name of earthquake victims), was revealed to have fallen into an abyss of loose accounting. This whole Kony thing is about as genuine as a three card monte scam. Cons now have a corporate sheen and have gone viral, and the owners of Invisible Children are laughing all the way to the bank, LOL...
