Boar tusk is powerful talisman, aye...
Nonsense. They're not insects, they're humans, and they've done just fine without any "courtesy" from the modern world. Such "courtesy" has klled off most tribes like them.
They want to be left alone - we should oblige.
ROFLMAO!
Just because you are American and arrogant, doesn't give you the right to tell these people they must be overrun by other cultures. They don't want it, I think they've made this perfectly clear.
If Iran decided to send their people here and make us follow their culture, we shouldn't kill them? I do not understand your point of view. If your point of view prevails, we will soon be Muslims. Heaven forbid we should fight back as they are doing.
That's exactly what I mean. They exist courtesy of our discretion. They exist today because charitable government authorities think they should be enabled to continue to exist, which is fine by me BTW. Otherwise they would be extinct. In the natural order of things, like predatory tribes, foreign military powers looking for forward bases, and wandering brigands, they already have declined, probably past the point of no return.
I know they are human beings, and they are being treated like an endangered species--eg of some rare moth in a terrarium. It's an analogy. Figure it out.
What?
No penis gourds?
Talking about judgmental! Yes, I'm American, but no, I'm not arrogant. I do, however, value life. If you had read what I had written about these people, I said that I think they ought to be allowed to continue their way of life without outside interference. But I draw the line at murder. NO ONE has the right to murder others. NO ONE, I don't care how primitive and protected. The families of their murdered victims have the right to retrieve their bodies from the island. I didn't say that they then had the right to move in.
My point was not for the hell of it that we should go gang-banging onto a island of a max of 200 people with stone age weapons. I would just say that some half-trained, sober, small-armed poachers could keep the natives at bay fairly easily unless there are some difficult reefs (see Burmuda).
Jeez just take a few well placed sniper shots and splatter 100-300 rounds at the heros (while you still have suprise), and the tide IMHO would change pretty quickly. Until the frond-covered wing planes come over the horizon.

You must do the needful.
