Adventuring white people aside, Kony is kind of a bad dude.

ICC can stand for several things. Do you mean the International Criminal Court? And if so, didn't you say you were from Chile, one of the few South American countries that has refused to ratify the ICC’s founding treaty and in fact the only country or state in South America to not be States Parties to the Court?

That is only of the reasons, you know, for finding it strange. Most places where it has not been ratified are pretty adamant about it. Here it will never pass, as the right wing has veto over that sort of things. I mean, after the whole Pinochet international judgement, they got very rigid in that stance.

I momentarily forgot about Pinochet, but the man had a nice Cadillac though.

One of the things that still are going from that specific historical period of dictatorship, is the main body of their(I mean, from Pinochet and the right wing) constitution, that between other things, ask for high quorums for some things, and as they're the one in power now, it's harder than ever to pass things as the ICC, that and the same things your politicians say about it, in terms of it being unconstitutional and such. Not that it is a very well-known issue nowadays.

Similarly, here the ICC is viewed with the most hostility by the most conservative administrations. Otherwise it's sort of generally supported so long as we can say we are free of being bound by it.

I was doing further research(wikipedia, not in the mood for real reseach) and I found that my country did sign and ratify the Rome Statute. I thought they have not. About the other international court, well, we are being "sued" by Peru over territory issues so I guess that is also ratified as "with jurisdiction"

So this is why people are freaking out over Carl Weathers Predator screencaps being posted

Seriously if you're gonna try and make someone famous this might not be the image you want to put out there.

Man, I'm definitely not voting for that guy.

Kind of unflattering for Barack.

Is his Kony like the new Acorn?

Yes it does, if by universe you mean american troops.

But there's some basic problems with Invisible Children's pitch - as in, Kony isn't where you'd think, or the threat you'd think.

Contrary to the impression the movie gives, Kony was chased out of Uganda six years ago - probably to the Central African Republic, and is down to a few hundred fighters.

Most of the 30,000 children actually taken over nearly 30 years - are no longer with him.

"There has not been a single soul from the LRA here since 2006," Dr Beatrice Mpora, director of Gulu's Kairos health organisation said.

"Now we have peace, people are back in their homes."

And as for the 100 US advisers sent last year, who says they were about to be pulled out?

Oh, and you can help Russell's work, the film adds, by buying a bracelet with a "unique ID" to show you care.

What practical good your donation will do is not clear, since $10 million of Invisible Children's income last year went on its staff, surplus and their awareness raising, and just $3 million on Central African projects.

No idea if this was covered in the thread.

Invisible Children Co-Founder Detained: SDPD

SDPD said he was found masturbating in public, vandalizing cars and possibly under the influence of something

A co-founder for Invisible Children was detained in Pacific Beach on Thursday for being drunk in public and masturbating, according to San Diego Police Department.

Jason Russell, 33, was allegedly found masturbating in public, vandalizing cars and possibly under the influence of something, according to Lt. Andra Brown. He was detained at the intersection of Ingraham Street and Riviera Road.

Brown said Russell was acting very strange.

"Due to the nature of the detention, he was not arrested," she said at a press conference. "During the evaluation we learned we probably needed to take him to a medical facility because of statements he was saying."

Police said they received several calls Thursday at 11:30 a.m. of a man in various stages of undress, running through traffic and screaming.

Could Kony be this Ahab's Moby Dick?

Stop Russell 2012!

I want to see him explain this to his young son, with pictures.
