My Tribe Under Attack

[Theland]

My village is under attack.
People from other tribes are coming from the great waters, and coming to my land.
Once they are here, they are taking our coloured beads, swamping our Shamans and Witch Doctors with their problems, and building their totem poles in the midst of our village.
They are also raiding our food stores, and none of them have ever helped to sow, husband or harvest our crops.
Should we do nothing?
I am also concerned that these alien people are overwhelming my village with a disregard for our traditions, and I fear that the way of life of my village will soon be lost.
Should I welcome these other tribes?

[Theland]

OG - must polish my smite stick.

[Theland]

Jack - If that avatar is really you, you are very beautiful.

[david small]

Destroy thine enemy. Place ground glass in their chapsticks.

[MallyJ]

Of course you should welcome them...and ,if you converse with them, you may well learn from them. this would stop you being ignorant and a bad neighbour. After all you are in existence because your forebears mixed with people of many different tribes. We are all the result of many different tribes reproducing their kind. I must say I do wonder why I bother ....

[Scarlett]

It depends- if this attack was with spears and knives and whips and rape then I'd run or send tanks in self defence. If the people were fleeing from spears and knives and whips and rape then I'd do whatever I could in my power to help them.

[Theland]

Give them your spare room?

MallyJ, //After all you are in existence because your forebears mixed with people of many different tribes.//

Indeed. And those many different tribes mixed with our forebears. Still happening? Oh … hang on ….

Lay down your spear, drop your woomera, forget what a nulla nulla is used for, throw away your boomerang, (this could be difficult because they have a habit of returning), discard your wagay, blow your didgeridoo for the last time, forget ever having another corroboree as the new tribe will take over.

Might as well travel to the nearest billabong, sniff petrol and guzzle from a goon bag.

[Jackdaw33]

What's a goon bag?

[1ozzy]

The plastic bag inside a cardboard box of cheap wine.

Most useful when sleeping rough Jack as the bag can be removed, the box used to start a fire, for warmth of course. When the 4 litre bag is empty it can be inflated and used as a pillow.

[Tilly2]

That'a inventive Oz. What a good idea.

[1ozzy]

I used to inflate 2 goon bags and tape one under each arm when entering the billabong because I can't swim.
Nothing to do with emptying 8 litres of cheap wine I'll have you know ;-/

[Tilly2]

There you go! Another good idea. (I don't believe that you can't swim)

[Rockrose]

According to sunday brunch yesterday the newest fashion in the wine industry is boxed wine, apparently they have now discovered how eco friendly boxed wine is and are now boxing decent wines for the wine snobs out there.

[1ozzy]

A tad off topic, but.

How's that bird house you're intending to build with the guidance of men in sheds coming along Tilly?

By now it should be a bird mansion filled with little feathered friends furniture.

[Tilly2]

Ozz. I'll post a picture when it's done. It's still in the design stages. :-)

[1ozzy]

Please do.

Our local "Men in sheds" go into panic mode if a lady shows any interest.
Silly old farts. There are many skills and experiences to share.

[gulliver1]

Have a referendum.

[Tilly2]

Yes, another tribe?
Actually, they are all really pleasant. I get tea made for me. I'm just hanging around watching at the moment. I love to see how things are made.
