I'm all for the criticism and skepticism. It's great that the source is discussed along with the cause, but I think some people are missing the bigger picture. Yes it's blatant propaganda, yes IC is a sketchy organization and yes it is a bandwagon by now, but this video had 160, 000 views three days ago. It's a change of conversation. I thought the most striking thing about the video and how quickly it went viral is that it really put into perspective for me that indeed we do live in a VERY different world than our parents did in their youth. If things are going to change, hopefully for the better (and I don't mean that in a "let's all hold hands and sing kumbaya" way, but in a consensus of human beings actually caring about one another), common ground has to be found and it has to start somewhere. People coming together to raise awareness about a ruthless war criminal that should very well be brought to justice is a good place to start IMHO.

Oh ok. Welcome back then, I guess. As you can see, my lobbying to get rid of the Random Talking Thread has finally come to fruition. Care for a banana?:gsmile:
