[theevilofusa]

Is this cultural event or starvation?.What a dumb poster.you need to fix the tag what u said starvation.

[vixxa]

one young man told me he even jumped just to impress a young girl he was courting."

So tell me, how did you come up with the whole story of 'the gods providing a good harvest and his "tribe" not starving?'

I just think people make way too many assumptions on the cultures of other people. Don't assume. Learn.

[vixxa]

wow, brave stuff!

So what exactly does this have to do with "escaping starvation"?

So I did some research and this ceremony has nothing to do with "escaping starvation." Firstly, vegetation is lush in Vanuatu so starvation isn't a great threat. It might blow your minds, but not all dark-skinned peoples of the world are on the brink of famine. lol

It's just a right of passage ceremony of the culture. As one journalist reports "Some jump for the sheer joy of it; others jump to prove they're committed to their ancient traditions;

[GreenMagic89]

@JomoKitale i think you are right thats what i heard :)

[GreenMagic89]

@vixxa oh god kid get out of here. open your ears. start the video over you doofus.

[vixxa]

@GreenMagic89 Do not call me a doofus, because you are the one that is ignorant. They are not jumping to "escape starvation". It is a cultural ceremony like any other. There is no threat of starvation in lush, clean, green, sea-life surrounded Vanuatu, jackass.
