What makes saying "they are not lost." from the "bad white man perspective"??

This is what's so frustrating to me, it's as if you either have to be a total ass and have no understanding that it's not intelligent to think of a tribe of people who look healthy as lost, or you are a PC wimp who hates himself for being male/white/in a powerful technologically advanced culture?

How about the obvious? They are not lost, and we are not "found"? (cue ethios or some other jesus/technology-as-the-indicator-of-cultural-worth chiming in with some abstract apology for western culture, when I've made no attack against it)

"white men killing culture"

what I meant was that it's so typical and ignorant seeing such a tribe as lost.. from which perspective?
from our dominant western culture that is..
and who says they don't know other cultures?

anyway..
all I said was, +1 to

That is really amazing have they been detected by any locals or are they truly isolated from the rest of the world? This is really interesting!

I hope they video tape the first missionary getting stuck with an arrow....

Anyone in the UK catch a show a few years ago when some guy brought a kid from the rainforest (never left his tribe before) to the uk? Kid ended within a few weeks in nike trainers, feet up on the setee watching TV chain smoking Seem to remember them taking him to a who concert too.

a funny comment posted below one instance of the initial news story postings of this: "somebody throw them a coca cola bottle".

What does the resolution of the pictures have to do with their authenticity?

I'm surprisingly jealous of their simplicity in an increasingly fucked-up world...

Pretty cool tribal gear. Although the gold belt is prolly a cheap Chinese import. If the UN ever does decide to make first contact I highly recommend these ambassadors...

Discovering a giant crab-like sea monster that's 30 stories tall and has been living on the bottom of the ocean is cool.

Discovering some tribe that's probably been in-breeding like a son-of-a-bitch for hundreds of years is not.

Welcome to the 21st Century, motherfuckers.
