#1 it's like watching an overheard view of "apocalypto", I think it's quite amazing that they don't know anything about our messy modern world or it's history.

#3 One fellow on the right in one of the pics looks like he has a bamboo bazooka. I would not like to suffer a turbine flameout in the helicopter above these folks. They might not be too accommodating on the ground.

#4 Good pics, interesting story, terminally tedious PC "noble savage" crap by the individuals quoted.

I wonder how many of the latter day Rousseaus quoted are vegetarians. But they tolerate people living in Stone Age conditions who almost certainly have a diet which is 75% or more meat.

Hypocrites.

#5 What's with the one in the gorilla suit?

And how long before the liberals rush to "rescue" them from their poverty and provide them with "free" medical care?

#8 The uncontacted tribes... all have one thing in common - they want to be left alone.And for good reason. The history of contact, between indigenous tribes and the outside world, has always been an unhappy one.

Um, if they're uncontacted, how would they know the 'history'? Or is it another PC-projection?

#10 Imagine trying to explain some of the subjects we bruit about here to those folks..... um, like why half the people here go into projectile vomiting when McCain's name comes up.

#11 I dunno - for an alleged "uncontacted" = lost? tribe, THEIR PHOTOS ON CNN > looks like two of 'em may be wearing modern shirt tops + one wid a brimmed hat + 2-3 shiny thingys = Pots/Wares? on the ground???

At least the PHOTO-TAKERS of the so-called TASADAY tribe/people in the Philipines [early 1970's - later charged to be a hoax?] MADE ABSOLUT SURE THEIR "DISCOVERY" PICS DIDN'T SHOW THE TASADAY USING OR WEARING ANY CONTEMPORARY DRESS, WARES, ETC.

SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE NOS.**** > OWG-NWO/SWO NOW, D *** NG IT, THE CROOKS + HOAXERS AREN'T EVEN TRYING TO LOOK AUTHENTIC ANYMORE.

#13 "The uncontacted tribes... all have one thing in common - they want to be left alone."

Ummmm, if they're uncontacted, how do you know what they want?

Self-centered idiots.

#14 The Amerindians appear to support the 2nd Amendment and obviously don't have much use for the poperotsi. I like them already.
