So did Fox News.

yeah and BBC news just got confused and interviewed a 30ish year old expert on tribes in that area however when they introduced her the news reading women( who is a total retard every day) said " and we are on the line with "name of expert" who has been studying tribes and meeting them since the early 70s. I mean the newsreader could see the women she was interviewing on the huge screen, if a women looks 30ish, i doubt 35 years ago she was visiting tribes. Turned out she visited tribes in the late 90s...:roll::roll:
So did Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and Al Gore.

Nice find, Ynot. Can't help but feel sick at the notion that the "civilized" world will probably soon be driving those tribes off their own land so it can rape the forests for the sake of industry. :?
And that BBC 'shop is fucking hilarious, btw.
drop a load of big Macs down there, let them live the american dream!
Lest they get medical help and shit.
Well I'll see you guys in three months.
I'm renting a C-150 and fireworks and am gonna go down to Peru for a while... Impersonate a deity, you know.
I wonder how they would react to video games...
Yes. Let's force "medical help" (and everything else that comes with the terminating of a way of cultural life for industrial development) upon all the tribes who obviously just wish to be left alone.
In fact, let's round up all of the modern, civilized people who are dying of things such as cancer but are too stubborn or strong-willed to want to seek medical help, and simply wish to live out their last days and die on their own time; remove them from their homes; hole them up in hospitals; strap them to beds; and force medical help on them as well, against their will.
Sometimes people just wish to live the way they are living, no matter how illogical it may seem to outsiders.
What's your point?
I'm talking about having land developers leave the uncontacted tribes alone, and you say "lest they receive medical help and shit," as if that is the defacto outcome from their encountering developers who would want to move them out. If they were to be confronted by developers, it wouldn't be "Hey, let's sit down over tea and cannabis and have a chat about moving out. There are good things for you, out there. We can get you medical attention, if you wish. Or you guys can just stay here. It's your decision, really." :peace: They would be pressured out - and the consolation prize of medical help, for their eviction, when they didn't ask for it, is not quite an equalizer.
I have no problem with their being contacted by the outside world - as in, those who would be interested in the good of the tribes, not industrial development.
I once read an account from a Xingu chieftain who was a child the first time his tribe ever saw a plane roaring over their heads. He said they were all really terrified of it. Small wonder, considering we know how people who knew about planes and spaceships went into panic at the thought of aliens landing on their backyards...

Imagine the fun we could have with that. We could use intercoms, strobe lights, special effects on big screens, holograms, and David Copperfield disappearance tricks. Then we could give them $100 and tell them they are on MTV's hidden camera show Boiling Points.
If those tribe people ever learn English, I wonder what they would think of the atheism debates we have on Dream Views. Imagine what their comments would be. :chuckle:
This is hilariously wrong.
Mostly because they dont even know we exist, much less the internet :lmao:.
