STOP KONY 2012

Kony- you may have heard it. Hopefully you have heard it, world.
In Uganda, the LRA(Lord's Resistance Army) are abducting young children from their beds, and them taking them back. They use the as sex slaves, they rape them, turn them into child soldiers, giving them weapons and telling them to mutate other children's faces, and telling them to kill their parents.
And who's behind all of this? JOSEPH KONY. The LRA's leader.
He is the world's most wanted criminal, and evil sadistic man who MUST be stopped.
MAKE HIM FAMOUS. To send troups in Uganda to stop Kony, the US government have to be shown that the people care enough. If there's not enough publicity, then the operation STOP KONY will be cancelled.
Here's what you have to do:
If you haven't heard of him, I URGE you to look it up.
Here's the link to the website: http://s3.amazonaws.com/kony2012/kony-4.html
Here's a youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc
If you have facebook, like the Invisible children's link. Join any group you can.
If you have twitter, tweet, hashtag( no1. trend in England at the moment) and favorite anything to do with Kony.
Also, on April 20th, make sure you attend "Cover the Night" in your local area. "Cover the Night" is basically putting up flyers, posters, stickers or anything to do with Kony.  MAKE HIM FAMOUS.
When the world wakes up on saturday morning, it will be covered with Kony so EVERYONE will know who he is.
Get the action kit (available from the invisible children's website) to raise more awareness.
STOP this bastard. STOP him before he abducts anymore children. If the world supports this, we can track him down and make him stop!
KONY 2012- Bring down the World's Number 1 Criminal!

Where is the love?

I know that I'm not the most optimistic person in the world (after reading my blogs), but something I feel quite strongly about is: Where is the freaking love?
World, quite recently I have come to a revelation. As I am writing this, I am going through this revelation.
It may be quite hard not to bitch about somebody, or have total patience with everyone. But, why are we hating each other? We are all the same species, with the same organs and the same minds.
Take 9/11. World wars 1 and 2. Somalia. Afghanistan. Iraq. Pakistan. Slavery. Kidnapping. Etc. Come on people, why so much death? Why so much hate for yourself? Why so many assumptions.
One of my favorite quotes is:
"But if you only have love for your own race, Then you only leave place to discriminate, and to discriminate only generates hate"
For any other Black Eyed Peas fans, you would know that that quote comes from "Where is the love". If you don't know that song, then I urge you to look it up on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpYeekQkAdc&ob=av3e
Seriously world, what is with all this discrimination and hate? As humans, we should all love each other and care for one another.
If you can't see my point, I really would like you to read a poem called "Desiderata", it actually changed my life.
World, respect each other!
