Keep_It_Real Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASEEEEE Post if you watch the video, let others know how powerfull it is. ALSO, TELL FRIENDS!!I AM TRYING TO GET ON HOT TOPIC!!! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3166797753930210643&q=invisible+children Genocide:The deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group. Message me with any questions, I can probley answer them. PLEASE...TAKE A BREAK FROM EVERYTHING, AND WATCH THE VIDEO! The first part is a LITTLE bit boring, but keep watching, it is most diffently NOT boring..This video has 5/5 stars, and has been viewed OVER 156,000 TIMES!!If you are really impatience, fast forward to 12minutes, thats were it REALLY gets started.. EDIT: IT HAS BEEN VIEWED OVER 333,000 times!![/size] http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3166797753930210643&q=invisible+children WHAT IS IT ABOUT In the spring of 2003, three young Americans traveled to Africa in search of such as story. What they found was a tragedy that disgusted ... and inspired them to share their story. A story where children are weapons and children are the victims. The "Invisible Children: rough cut" film exposes the effects of a 20 year-long war on the children of Northern Uganda. These children live in fear of abduction by rebel soldiers, and are being forced to fight as a part of violent army. This wonderfully reckless documentary is fast paced, with an MTV beat, and is something truly unique. To see Africa through young eyes is humorous and heart breaking, quick and informative - all in the very same breath. See this film, you will be forever changed. http://www.savedarfur.org/content The above site is a very cool one, you learn more about what is happening. Please tell me if you see something wrong, or you want something done, I would also like to hear your ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep_It_Real Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 KC, I knew about that, the cease-fire isn't working to well The thing I want is for the world leaders to step in, and say something about this, I was dissapointed that Mr. Bush didn't talk about this in his State of the Union.

Satenza Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I added a link to their homepage in my signature hopefully people will follow. It's true the crimes commited there are terrible. It really makes me question why our governments are allowing this type ot tourture to citizens of our planet. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My assumption then, is that you support any military action that stops a race of people from having mass genocide being committed against them purely because of their ethnicity?

Satenza Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I didn't say military action. Yes, i would support the principle of stopping mass genocide.

Your view of human nature may be different from mine, and i think a war thats been going on almost 20 years needs outside intervention.

I support any militay action that stops any genocide for any reason. No race deserves to be wiped off the face of the Earth.. I ask, because the thing I have noticed most often is that those who strongly support action in Darfur, strongly opposed kicking Saddam out of Iraq. Saddam had hundreds of rape rooms, mass grounds under his soil, and killed the Kurds purely out of hate for their ethnicity. I just find it interesting that Saddam created the same cruel situation for people in Iraq, but those who oppose the War there, support military action in Darfur. Why is that?

Satenza Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I think you need to take each case on it's merit. I support the principle of stoping mass genocide. Yes, removing Saddam was a good thing on this principle alone however the situation in Iraq is probably unsolvable. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning.

It really makes me question why our governments are allowing this type ot tourture to citizens of our planet. I know the reason: Sudan has nothing of value that any potential liberator could want. This has been going on for more than 40 years. The tragedy is that the events in Sudan occurred in the most inconvenient times in history. It would have been easy for any country to have stopped this back in the 60s when it first started, but governments have been "too busy" to care. America had the Vietnam escapade, France and Britain got involved in the Arab/Israeli conflicts, most of Western Europe was still in post-war recovery, Eastern Europe was too economically tied, the USSR had the Afghan adventure, etc. They didn't care then, they don't care now, chances are they won't ever care at all. Plus, it's Africa, after all. Imperialism single-handedly delayed the advancement of African society and culture by hundreds of years. Look at Rwanda, Congo/Zaire, Somalia, Liberia. The African geo-political language rarely includes the word "peace." If you've noticed, "peace" talks and "peace" treaties always precede the worst fighting of a conflict, like Ethiopia/Somalian War, Ethiopia/Eritrean War, Sierra Leone Civil War, Angolan Civil War, jeez they're almost endless. "Peace" in Africa tends to mean "I'll put my weapons down for awhile, go see my family, then come back and fight some more." Wow, I've never written this much about 1 topic. the russians are the best! Hands down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it interesting that Saddam created the same cruel situation for people in Iraq, but those who oppose the War there, support military action in Darfur. Why is that? I support the war on terror. If I was older, I'd be in Iraq serving my country right now but sadly I was too young when it started and I still am. I also support military action in Darfur. But I still question our leader's decision to send more troops to Iraq.. Internet Marketing For Newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep_It_Real Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 To all of you posting, thank you all so much, I hope that the tip.it community takes this seriously, as I do. On a response to a post i saw I support any militay action that stops any genocide for any reason. No race deserves to be wiped off the face of the Earth.. THAT IS WHAT I SAY. Then again, people can go back to the arugement that it will turn out to be something like Iraq. But I think that if you are a world power, you should in a way be a "world police" we most diffently have the power/money to, and I hope that Mr. Bush takes this seriously. Plus, I think that Africa is wayyy out of wack. There needs to be action taken in there. There are farr to much corrpution over there. I think that one of the oldest civlivations should be more togehter, than they currently are. Oh, and also, there are some pretty cool shirts you can buy, it has a cool picture of this guy, and it says "stop genocide in sudan" Hence, the title of this. THANKS! EDIT: How do you make "quotes"?
