New isolated tribe discovered in the Amazon

And judging by the warriors taking aim at the aircraft that photographed them, they wish to remain ‘uncontacted.’

It amazes me that in this day, there are tribes of indigenous people living in the jungles of Brazil that have not been contacted or touched by modern civilization. Since this tribe has not been contacted, we have no idea of their background or what language they speak. It does appear that after first seeing the plane, they donned red war paint and brandished weapons for the plane’s repeated passes. Fascinating.

Every effort needs to be made to protect the environment in which these people live, which remains threatened by logging and cattle farming.

    That’s pretty cool. I think we should kick their asses and take their land.

    Definitely. Probably oil on that land.

    The important thing to take from this post is the predictable anti-Western / pro-Anything Else bigotry that William is prone to.

    Let’s say this is not backwards race of literal spearchuckers in the jungle with no laws - child molestation laws, vaccinations, education, living conditions, etc.

    Let’s say it’s a religious polygamist sect in Texas that wants to be left alone and brandishes firearms when “outsiders” start coming by.

    Then let’s show a picture of Waco and examine how the American Left deals with people who’s tribes do not want to be contacted. Preferably the one with the tank rolling through their village as they set fire to everything in sight and shoot the women and children running out.

    Then have his party run the woman who ordered the massacre for Governor in Florida.

    Fascinating. The hypocrisy of it all.

    But if it were a group of Islamists in a farmhouse in Texas with that cache of weapons…

    Legal citizens can have weapons regardless of their religion, cat fetishes, or other crazy ideas.

    Nice strawman though. Hope you didn’t spend too long propping it up.

    Well, thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for that (Blessed Be His Noodly Appendages!). I am pretty fond of the entire Bill of Rights, unlike certain powerful people I could name, and their worshipers.

    I think anyone who’s read your Internet spew-trail will not be looking for your advertisement supporting the legal defense fund of any such hypothetical group, now or in the future.

    I’d ask what the shit you are talking about if I thought you had even the vaguest of ideas. On my spewtrail or otherwise.

    This thread was founded on a lionization of people whose adherence to ignorance would be considered child abuse and neglect anywhere in the civilized world and that their way of life should be preserved.

    In a history book, maybe. There’s nothing noble about living in a mudhut while your kids die from dengue fever or malaria.

    They need a logging company to bulldoze their asses into the early 18th century.

    I think “if it were a group of Islamists in a farmhouse in Texas with that cache of weapons…” explains quite nicely, and is no way unclear.

    I’m thinking that the “undiscovered tribe in the Amazon” — those members are looking a lot like the leftists who despise their own military so much they’d trade their mothers for a chance to pass off an American soldier as a murderer or a traitor. Congratulations! You’ve made the anthropological Hall of Infamy.

    Grits,

    The American military are some of the hardest working people in the world, and we do not seek to impugn those that are merely fulling their oaths of duty.

    You’re one sorry son of a bitch for swiftboating the anti-war movement as anti military.

    Fuck off.

    “You’re one sorry son of a bitch for swiftboating the anti-war movement as anti military.”

    So, wait, the anti-war movement SUPPORTS the military? Since when?

    Since it was coined the “military industrial complex”?

    Since Code Pinko decided to make life hell for the recruiting office in San Fran?

    Since the 60s when military personnel were regularly called “baby killers”?

    Dude. The anti-war left IS anti military. You can say you aren’t, but like the saying, actions speak louder than your pitiful attempt to disguise your disgust.

    Karenina… is that brush too broad to fit in your ass?
