Previously uncontacted tribe photographed

[Chazumi]

If you look at the very first picture on this page that Dawgphood001 posted, (thanks btw ) You can see a child peaking his head out by the corner of the hut just infront of the women painted in black.

someone had their head awfully close to the screen looking at the woman...

amazing stuff...

Yes, amazing how aggressive these stone age tribals tend to be. In Adamans, a similar tribe keeps attacking and murdering anybody who arrives there. These people have tried to shoot down the plane with their arrows. I bet they also wage constant war with their tribal enemies, rape their women and eat their warriors' hearts.

Amazing that any goverment allows anything like it on its territory.

Like the government has a track record of being "nice" to the natives...

Troll? Not nearly.

Tribes on this level of development usually are pretty aggressive, that's a fact. Read something about their way of life in New Guinea or Adamans. Judging from the history of Latin American natives, their way of life was even worse.

Now, do you believe that a government should allow some group to murder people just because they belong to a distinct ethnic group? Answer that.

Tribals are not animals, we can't say that it's natural and OK for them to kill their own kind. A democratic government is obliged to stop them, even if it means destroying their traditional way of life. It's not something we can't live without, really.

as pointed out earlier, you're gonna kill most of them with your germs if you contact them.

yes, they live a rather sucky live compared to us, but just look at the past at what happens when a government tries to "improve" the situation: utter failure and those indians become professional drunks and die off diseases.

Also, some other fellow countrymen could go baaaw over the affirmitive action they receive, so for the sake of the poeple like Luiz, just leave them alone.

They would else be wiped out anyway.

Then you do it right this time.

Hypothetical situation: you find a tribe, whose religious practices include gang raping girls in the age of 10 and ritual burning of every 5th child, after its limbs are cut off alive and eaten by the shamans.

What do you do? Leave them to live as they are used to?

They would else be wiped out anyway.

Sometimes it's better than to leave them continue in what they are doing.

 

[Winner]

as pointed out earlier, you're gonna kill most of them with your germs if you contact them.

It's going to happen sooner or later - it's called natural selection.

 

[holy king]

so you would kill them all, rather than letting them live in their cruel culture?

ah, I heard of that tribe, wasn't it a Slavic one?
don't come with such a silly example.
ever saw the program "tribe" on BBC?

Winner, so after all you weren't being humanist, you just want them all dead?

What the hell is wrong with you?

 

[Winner]

Letting them live a cruel and sadistic life would cause much greater suffering than contacting them and risking that a significant portion of them will perish.

Again, it will hapen sooner or later, let's face the fact here. One time, they will be contacted by someone from the outside world. It's better to do that now and have it under control.

Nice speculation there Winner. To them a plane looks like a friggin' pterodactyl. Of course they're going to be a bit fearful of it and prepared for it to attack them or something. Anything that they've ever seen that was that big before could & would eat them.

I'm sure they're all sadistic, virgin sacrificing savages who's national pasttime is chasing each other around with spears trying to cut off each other's genitals as a crude form of birth control. The winner is the last one with sack still intact and he gets to rape all the women in the tribe (the ones who haven't been cannibalized by their own children that is).

But not evereyone can be peaceful, happy & well adjusted like you now can they?

Edit (addition) : Noteworthy Winner is the fact that in colonial times when whites would take "Indians" hostage the Indians would always rush back to their families as soon as they were freed without a glance backwards whereas whites often would be reluctant to leave the "savages" and return to "civilized" life. (no, I don't have a link to where I read this but I'll post it if I find it)

 

[Chazumi]

I'm with Winner, kill them and take their chickens. I wonder if their huts burn or if it's too moist for fire?

You death to the violent ones who fear the unknown. They're so different from us!

I know who I'd be rooting for.

Well they are very different from us... but if you are talking about the whole "they are humans too" then okay. And I don't fear them I just think it'd be easy to take their chickens and womens, but I bet their womens aren't very attractive, so we might have to kill them too.

Strange, my reaction would be to run into the jungle and hide, not provoke the dragon by shooting arrows at it

I guess that bolding the part where I was introducing a hypothetical example was not enough...

But not evereyone can be peaceful, happy & well adjusted like you now can they?

If they were peaceful hippie natives, I'd gladly leave them to rot in the jungle in blissful ignorance. But as I said, tribes in this stage of development are usually quite aggressive and the fact that they were shooting at the plane kinda leads me to conclusion they're not different.

What is that supposed to prove? That the native american civilizations were better than Europe? Don't be ridiculous, the reason for this is much simpler: indian women were too beautiful, they just couldn't leave them

Of course the fact that they brutally sacrificed thousands of people each year by cutting their hearts off their chest alive should be conveniently omitted...
