Silent Song Of A Lonely Sailor

Rant..

Okay, so. I really need to rant and get this off my chest so here I go. I’m sick and tired of seeing all these twelve year olds talking about sex. It’s truly starting to disgust me, what is wrong with this generation? Everyone is in such a hurry to grow up; they miss out on their childhood! I just turned seventeen today, and I would go back to being thirteen or twelve in a heartbeat. Let me just be clear to you guys, being pregnant, having to take care of a baby, parenting. It’s not fun, it truly isn’t. It’s a struggle, especially when you’re young. Please, wait until you’re older to have sex, wait until you have a steady job, a house, and a partner you love and you know will be there for you. End rant.

This is a picture of the founders of Invisible Children.Joseph Kony is undoubtedly a cruel man, but lets look at some fun facts around the issue and the organization Invisible Children:The issue:-The LRA is only 250 soldiers strong at this point.-The LRA hasn’t been in Uganda since 2006.-Ugandan army and Sudan People’s Liberation Army are riddled with accusations of rape and looting.-US Africa Command has been trying to stop Kony for years, which only results in failure and retaliation from Kony.-To get to Kony you’d have to ultimately kill some of his army…which consists of children soldiers…..Invisible Children:-Only 32% of money raised went to direct services (if you support the issue you may want to choose a more worthwhile charity).-Their accountability and transparency is a 2 out of 4 stars on charity navigator.-The group is in favor of direct military intervention, and their money supports the Ugandan government’s army and various other military forces.- Foreign Affairs has claimed that Invisible Children (among others) “manipulates facts for strategic purposes, exaggerating the scale of LRA abductions and murders and emphasizing the LRA’s use of innocent children as soldiers, and portraying Kony — a brutal man, to be sure — as uniquely awful, a Kurtz-like embodiment of evil.”Military intervention may or may not be the right idea, but people supporting KONY 2012 probably don’t realize they’re supporting the Ugandan military who are themselves raping and looting away. Educate yourselves a little bit before supporting a particular nonprofit.Some good reads:http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/invisible-childrens-stop-kony-campaign/2012/03/07/gIQA7B31wR_blog.htmlhttp://visiblechildren.tumblr.com/http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/136673/mareike-schomerus-tim-allen-and-koen-vlassenroot/obama-takes-on-the-lra?page=showhttp://www.wrongingrights.com/2009/03/worst-idea-ever.html/http://chrisblattman.com/2009/03/04/visible-children/Not saying Kony isn’t a horrible person. Just thought people might want the entire picture before they support an organization.
