Can Facebook Stop Child Abuse?

Campaign to End Violence Against Children wants everyone to change their profile pic to a cartoon character to create awareness against child abuse. That was all C. J. needed to go off on "awareness campaigns" and break down the truth about taking action. Metal up!

Doesn't metaphysical mean the opposite of what you made it mean? Doesn't it mean not physical, philosophical, thus being more internal then external? I know this is a somewhat petty observation, but I was bugged. xD

@HelenaNV No, philosophers will often use the term "metaphysical" in order to set it over against "epistemological." The study of metaphysics is technically a study of being, and up until the time of Immanuel Kant, metaphysics was the predominant emphasis in philosophical thought. In my example, I use metaphysical as describing anything outside in the realm of being.

Of course, spreading awareness is one of the first steps to an internal change. I don't think anyone actually believes changing their facebook pic will stop child abuse. Think of it this way

your video encouraging ppl to go a step further wouldn't of been viewed without the facebook cartoon campaign... what you're saying is inevitable and slightly contradicting being as on this video all you are is another voice (which is great) but you see my point?

@teedactle Thanks for the kind words. Yes, I'm fully aware of the opportunity afforded me by the campaign. I seized it because I've made a few videos on the abuse of women and children. I also work in communications—especially with non-profits—and many professionals see the social media awareness campaigns as minimalism. In addition, this is Metal Motivation, so I won't come across in that "friendly" tone. I want the controversy. I want to see people engage. I got what I wanted. ;-)

@tonyincltn How about actually donating some fucking money

[tonyincltn]

@Sneezlebob no, this doesnt do anything, of course not, it only raises awareness, hopefully to bring everyone together on the same wavelength. We as one people need to rise up and do something - hence raising awareness is a good thing.

@ArtByLindaLee You started it. And you didn't offer an "opinion." You criticized me. I have zero respect for that. Don't get in the boxing ring and take a swing at somebody and then cry because they hit you back. And stop hiding behind your years of abuse. None of it justifies your being a critic of everyone else.
