Kony 2012 is a fraud

Not Kony as a person is real but we are talking about the movement itself.

I'm quite skeptical. Only 32% of donations actually goes to the cause. Don't most charities have to be at least 80%, if not more? Plus, the founder is a public masturbator, so...

We are talking about if Kony is a fraud. If they donate at least 32% that still means they are supporting the children of Uganda? Who said that Invisible Children is a charity? Its a group that tries to make Kony not invisible by having everyone know who he is(that is their main objective if you didn't know that) i am not sure about if the founder Jason Russel is a public masturbator, but im sure that doesn't make him some crazy person

So if I donate £10, and only £3.20 goes to finding and apprehending Kony, then I ask, where does the other £6.80 go?

The campaign just appears to be there so self righteous Facebook hipsters can feel good about themselves.

I believe that 'Kony 2012' is a fraud, which is why I am debating yes for this topic, but how do we know for sure? Children are dying every day in Africa and Uganda, so I ask, why have we targeted ONE individual for something that another thousand do EVERY DAY. Ask yourself that?

Actually it's not a fraud, because kony is real. Some twitter tweets says that he is dead, but no one is really sure because Joeseph Kony is invisible to the government and other people. He could still be alive or dead. It's not a fraud because someone could be pretending to be kony and children in uganda is still fearing from kony. He is likely not a fraud. Also the invisible children group is a non profit government organization which gets money to help the children in Uganda to have a better life and be protected from kony.

no they do not use kony as a reason for oil reserves in uganda. Where did you get that source?
