Given that your argument is more coherent and better researched than mine, is there some FReerepublic rule that requires me to call you a bad name?
Yea, me too. Stepped out for lunch and ran into this guy.
I don’t get your post. What girls, and which preying managers? Was it directed to me?
Oh ...just saw your other post now. It’s cool
Just because...;>0)
They certainly don’t need progress to hit them now if they’ve managed to avoid it prior to discovery.
Lost and found and lost and...
Ha!
Actually, I’d give my one life for your right to disagree, but you sound as if you’re the one who wishes to impose strictures upon an independent people and I cannot agree with that.
If you can prove that they are being enslaved or coerced in any way, can you prove that it is not just natural selection and survival of the fittest, as well as their chosen method of “governing” their society?
Unless you can prove that these people have killed off millions of their own kind to enslave them, as civilized peoples have done for centuries, I will stick with my premise that it is best to leave them alone. Hopefully they will fare better than we civilized humans.

That’s it in a nutshell! LOL\
See my post 70.

I drank tap water in Mexico for about 10 days while living outside once and it didn’t bother me, on the day a friend finally showed up to tow our car back to the U.S. one of the English speaking Mexicans saw me using the hose bibb and he explained that it was not to be consumed by people.

Amazonian savages are not all love and peace. What do you think that red coloring is for.
“Villages may go to war for a number of reasons and warfare makes up a large part of Yanomami life.
About 40% of adult males have killed another person and about 25% of adult males will die from some form of violence. Violence will vary from chest pounding, in which opponents take turns hitting each others on the chest, to club fights, to raids which may involve the killing of individuals and abducting the women, to all out warfare.”

Re: The favelas. Few people realize that state and city governments of Rio de Janeiro have tried for years to get people out of the favelas and into cheap public housing in the suburbs of the city. The problem being that the folks refuse to move due to 1. the fact that it would mean a longer commute by bus for those who work and 2. the fact that they will no longer be in the "center of the action" and instead in some isolated suburb.
The Tasanights?
I saw that many years ago. I remember the eskimo getting new teeth as a bribe.
