[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;35686766]Took down all the KONY 2012 posters in my town. There was about 8 or 12 of them. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/71913666/IMG0131%20%283%29.jpg[/img] Feels good, man.[/QUOTE] Did you really have to? I mean, as long as they were up there they might aswell have tried to serve their purpose by informing people. I see no reason why you had to take them down.

Because the whole thing was fucking stupid?
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;35686934]Because the whole thing was fucking stupid?[/QUOTE] That's like going around and taking advertisements for a concert down because you don't like the/a band that's playing.
Well thats just opinion of a band Kony 2012 was a plot to scam dumb people by scaring them of a guy who hasn't been a problem for nearly 10 years.

The posters are hurting absolutely nothing, so why ruin their fun?
Its not simple fun when they do shit like this [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/f3CLL.jpg[/IMG] I honestly don't really care about the Kony posters and such but you were asking why somebody would do such a thing. I pretty much forgot about that whole situation anyway.

Two religious men came to my door yesterday. I told them I was already religious (Lie) and I went to get my mother who was super religious (understatement). I told her that two men at the door wanted to see her. She had to listen to a 5 minute preach on why she should donate to this new Mormon church because my mothers the kind of person that doesn't want to be rude. My father and I were laughing our asses off after I told him what I did and when my mother was done my father told her everything. Hnnnng traitor.

Just finished a long game of Civilization 5. Me as Rome versus Egypt, China and Aztec. Basically, starting as a cultural based Empire gets OP as fuck in later Era's.

It takes a few sensational bullshit videos to promote vandalism. Don't get me wrong, but the shit still going down in Africa is horrible. KONY 2012 is from some bullshit corporation that isn't non-profit. Donate to somewhere else.
What pissed me off was seeing Kony posters littering the streets.

I hate when bands do synchronized headbanging.
Person on FB: [I]"A 4-year old Saudi Arabian kid shot his dad... Because he wasn't allowed to get a Playstation. What can you learn from that?:-D - At least start by giving the boy a softgun.."[/I] Replied with: No. The kid shot his dad by an accident because the dad accidentally put the gun in the open so the kid could play with it. You've heard that happen a couple of times before. Him: OK Sherlock! While I could've worded it better, his response and post. Ugh.

[QUOTE=Mr. Face;35688336]No but I do and when I saw it I was fucking pissed.[/QUOTE] Not the point of my post yet again The point was that it's very very unlikely that the guys who did that are the same guys who put up the posters wherever film lives.

[QUOTE=Mr. Face;35688547]You're pretty much inviting a shitstorm.[/QUOTE] It's only a shitstorm if people lose their tempers. All I've done is defend my point
[QUOTE=Mr. Face;35688470]You might as well just stop ILY.[/QUOTE] ILY has a point though, it's just childish to go around ripping down posters like that. What does it really matter?
Putting up posters is fine, but taking them down or putting something on/over it is considered vandalism. But, the whole KONY '12 thing is ridiculously stupid. I know it's their money, but if I see a ton of people getting scammed on an issue that isn't even really an issue anymore when they could be putting that money toward ACTUAL issues, I'm gonna try and stop them and inform them! Though, in my opinion, tearing down posters and putting things on them, essentially vandalizing them, is not the way to go. Put up counter posters. Ones that inform people of the scam, and where people can REALLY help with their money instead of giving it to some drunk/drugged streaker. That is not vandalism. Inform, don't attack.
