Give them sleepy-juice, pick them all up, and transplant them to the Arizona-Mexican border.
Interesting! I once read that these tribes are related to Bushman and Pygmy tribes. I know throughout Southeast and South Asia there are Black tribes, including Negritos.
I would not be surprised if they have legends of strangers from a civilization that existed 10,000 years ago. I suspect they would be Ainus/Vedda/Polynesians.
In a lot of ways, there are large numbers of people everywhere who have been devastated by western society.
In the US, there are a lot of people unable to cope with the changes in the US. They are the inner city hip hop culture. They are the slackers. They are the pot heads, the alcoholics. The bitter men who don't understand women today. The bitter women who fell for all the man hating liberal crap. The uneducated who don't understand finance or credit cards.
The key is adapting and learning. If I had stopped either 20 years ago, I'd be a bitter man, totally befuddled by today's world.
Always makes me think of Ginger and her evening dresses! :-)
For a girl like her, those are necessities!
Then again they could end up having worse lives, if they want to be left alone leave them alone
Not me. I'd advocate the "interuption" of cultural isolation to create an understanding that innocents are NOT to be randomly slaughtered without severe implications for their health.
A one time show of extreme force (not necessarily violent, I mean show) would go a long way. make them understand that we will leave them alone if they don't murder innocents who happen to get caught on their island.
I know that the fishermen were breaking the law and stuff, but who's to say next time it won't be a family or something?
I would done the same to the Mayans and Aztecs in South America if they were around. I'd leave their civilizations mostly intact, but this sacrifice of captured strangers? Maybe a few environmentalists at first, but I'd put a stop to it. Let them feed upon their own people.
"Environmental groups urged the authorities to leave the bodies and respect the three-mile exclusion zone thrown around the island."
Environmental groups????
Ping.
.....wonder what religion they prescribe to....
Methodist or perhaps Moslem...... they sure have it in for drunks
In this case. there's a lot that needs to be said about personal responsibility. Not smart to get drunk and pass out in a danger zone.
I guess voting him off wasn't an option.
I agree. I find it horrifying that anyone from the so-called civilized world would ever prefer not retrieving bodies for grieving families in deference to savage "sensibilities." Obviously, they have never been American Marines. In fact, they could scarcely be called other than savages themselves. Oh, they call themselves environmentalists.
That would kill anybody's buzz.
