Do we agree with this 'experiment' of leaving tribes to their own devices.

As I said earlier....
///I think most sensible contributors to this thread (and especially those without an axe to grind) would see that my comment of 'Good news to my mind' referred to "and the islanders remain safe and unmolested." ///

Granted, the less sensible may struggle...

[hereIam]

And I repeat Absolutely Disgusting. Call me anything you like, I won't rise to it because I don't care ...

\\ It's sad re the young man but I am angry at those who led him there - presumably for a price \\

From the link

/// The 27-year-old EMT paid local fishermen to help him to the island last week ///

[Mamyalynne]

The fishermen Ratter.

[Arksided]

mission... FAILED.

[RATTER15]

Yes Mamya, I know but it was a calling from God, apparently.

[retrocop]

Well God is calling Mr Chau now.

[sandyRoe]

He wears a martyrs crown and the islanders are free to go about their business.
All's well that ends well.

[Spicerack]

Bet the islanders are having young chau fried rice tonight.

A sober warning to anyone who tries to emigrate to Brexit Britain in the year 3025 :-)
I see there’s a woman who wants to compile a Sentinelese (great name) dictionary but is worried about the arrow shooting. Much as I love dictionaries I hope she bins the idea.

I'm uncomfortable with allowing generations yet to come to be deprived of modern advantages, but I'm unsure what else can be done. a) they ain't friendly, and b) they won't have developed immunity from diseases we've been in contact with for generations.

it is not an experiment
it works
and you end up dead if you dont ( follow instructions)
oh and it is forbidden so he got his just deserts

yeah I wondered about trolling - do we agree with experiments - - is a bit odd talking about andamam islanders in the pacific ....

other experiments we might not agree with
the experimental civil war in Yemen
or the experimental imprisonment for life of the student in Dubai.
so many experiments to try and discuss and so little time

[steg]

This has the makings of a a braw movie

[sandyRoe]

I wonder if missionaries ever ended up in cooking cauldrons in times past?

[Mamyalynne]

Not only in the cartoons Sandy.

Oh the irony. The usual xenophobes are liking the indigenous population of our country to a very primitive tribe - speaks volumes.

[Spicerack]

Normal people pleading to preserve our culture are called xenophobes. Others can commit murder to preserve their culture.
Now that's ironic.
