I guess I do, over big things and little things, I'm always told to relax! XD
I sometimes I looks some history up on my own, but I think it just depends.
That's just how I get sometimes, it's shocking what happens around in the world.
Yes, I don't like getting into politics, government, economy, etc, mainly cause it doesn't interest me, and I find it really boring, then there's the fact that everyone stresses about too. It just doesn't catch my attention, and if it does, it's strange.
I do enjoy history though, I always find it interesting for some reason? XD
Bah, don't feel bad about being shocked. It's a shocking thing to see. You should be shocked because that kind of thing is awful. Even when we expect to see those things, it's still not easy to look at. =(
I agree with you. I generally stay out of politics because... well one can only take so much debate. I tend to try avoiding battles I have a low chance of winning, as well. But there are a few things here and there I might dabble in. But things like politics, government, and history (although some history can be interesting) are boring/tedious to me.
That's true, it's been a while since I've last seen anything related to Africa, so it shouldn't be so shocking for me, but that part really took me off guard. I felt guilty afterwards for getting shocked.
I don't know, I usually don't like seeing things like this cause I just feel like politics make everything so complicated because of all the regulations they go though and sometimes it's just stupid. They never get to the purpose and more people get hurt the longer they take.
I hope that this awareness won't be causing so many issues and that this all gets solved.
Usually when it's a video about suffering in Africa, there's a good chance you'll see dead bodies, mangled limbs, mutilated faces, or people starved to the point that they're skeleton-like. Yes, although I feel somewhat concerned because I read an article after seeing this vid saying that making Kony famous has actually prolonged his reign... because authorities responsible were willing to give him amnesty and he was willing to accept, but then another party interefered saying he would never get amnesty which caused him to flee and kill more. That's the gist of that article. So it makes me wonder if we should continue with this sort of thing or just figure out some other way or just go about our own business... Awareness is probably a good idea, tho, at the very least.
for me that part was unexpected, I knew the video was going to be serious, but I was not expecting to see something like that, so it startled me, but it shows something bad that is being done which would make more people want to help out.
You have a point! I was thinking it would be different to post since where I saw this was on DA, and there it just seems like it's fine to post, but here since the audience is younger, I wasn't sure? I don't know, I'm just a weirdo chicken.....O_o XD
you could say I have no backbone in real life or on the internet. I wanted to post this up, but I wasn't sure if it would be appropriate for this site, not really sure what I was thinking, but I plan on posting it up soon now.
It is pretty important to spread the word.
You seem like you worry about what people will think of what you post =( But if it's for a good cause like this, you shouldn't be too worried =3 And if someone does say something, they really shouldn't be saying anything.

I saw this yesterday on DA and I was thinking of posting it up here on TheOtaku, but I chickened out, since you posted it, I think I will post it later today!
this video made my cry, I was surprised that this has been happening for 26 years too.

*pats your head* This vid is popular among younger audiences, anyway. the worse that's in it is the facial mutilation and that's only up for 2 secs.
