When the civilized have consumed themselves into oblivion, the uncivilized might keep the lineage going. Might. Looks like a good time with the fellows. This computer and I never have that much fun.

[msglynis1]

This is a culture and a lifestyle... its all they know!! We are the ones who are messed up, believe it or not! They will look at us as if we were the crazy ones... because our lives are complicated by a lot of stuff we don't need. These people are LIVING... without restrictions and are true warriors.... they can do shit we could NEVER do and they are a happy!! Wish my life were as simple.

[janet9181]

@msglynis1 Yeah, maybe you should live like a gorilla too lol

[FALUBWA]

farooquemallah, stop comparing ur sorry ass ideologies to a pure n loving people.

these people could careless abt ur mohammed or my god.

[lustcorp]

Lucky people. They don't have to worry about broken glass or nails on the ground.

[farooquemallah]

Plz. Anybody tell me, why these peoples are in this condition at yet, even a science and technological period. They are living like animals life. What are the facts, why they do not change themselves? I have seen son many clips of these jungle tribe but at yet I still not find out the fact of their lives. Plz inform me about the fact.

Thanks, Farooque

[NikTheCat]

You tell me why they should change! You have a conception of what life should be like, and you are applying it to other people. In analyzing cultures, you are doing what is called mirroring. You are applying your standards to another people.

The climate is warm here. These people dress appropriately for the hot humid conditions. Cover them with western clothing, and they may get heat stroke

[musicalidea]

@NikTheCat It is not that we should or are even able to throw out our mirrors.  Rather we should try to dust them off, so that they expose us to the cracks and blemishes in our own, corrupt image as much as the strangeness of those we set out to examine.

[Chastrie]

@farooquemallah You think science and technology and living like "us" is something to feel blessed with?

No native people "changed" themselves, they were FORCED to change because, like you, others thought they should. I really can't believe you could see such beauty and magic and think they are somehow lower then westerners. If we actually LEARNED from natives instead of forcing them to change the planet and all it's life around us would be in alot better state then it is today, thanks to us.

[miku1983]

@farooquemallah because they are as happy as we never will.

[dawnblueclover]

@farooquemallah

I agree with NikTheCat as well as to say.... "They are living like animals life"??? We are mammals ourselves, That making us animals, however, they have a freedom unmatched by any other. No bills, no work stress, minimal illness and disease, no need to exploit their very own exsistance.

[dawnblueclover]

A truly balanced life with nature and themselves. Each having a place in society and respected for that, not like our misguided western society. I would say their condition is just right....as long as we stay away!

[cognitionengine]

@farooquemallah these people are happy and live with an understanding of the world around them unlike most of western "civilization" which lives in general misery and self deception.

[tongkorut]

@farooquemallah they're far away from the modern civilization and their mind are still same till nowadays,.even you try to chnge their life's style.i think they won't change/hard to mke change to a new life,.just guessing lol

[nuevaordenmundial]

@farooquemallah la vida tiene diferentes dimensiones y tu las vez con los ojos de la cultura donde naciste!.no seas narcisista y cerrado de ojos!No todo es burger king jajaja!!o tener una aspirina para el dolor de cabeza a un la ciencia esta llena de huecos ,enredandoze en "teorias" y el conocimiento de otras personas es el mismo .Pues todo viene de un mismo origen ,men!!!la energia pura!!ah!!and you jhave to learn to read spanish you know!!becouse ja!!yes!!you arenot "animal""google can help u

[mgibbvanuatu]

@farooquemallah Having lived there for quite awhile, I know from experience that these people just don't change overnight. What NikTheCat said is very true. Every culture is different. They don't live like "animals". They are far more content with their lot than we are here in the Western world. The saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" is never more appropriate than in Vanuatu. We in western cultures should take a page from these people's books by being content with what we have.

[Denmarkpwns]

@farooquemallah why not?

[darkpecs]

@farooquemallah

Salam Aleikum Farooque! The question is whether someone like you who is so ignorant of mankind's rich and diverse heritage deserves to get access to the technology of youtube which enables one to share knowledge and experiences. Brother the world has many ways of life that you do not appreciate or have not been allowed to appreciate by your culture or religion perhaps?!

[KavaTrader]

@farooquemallah Mostly these traditional wear and dancing is for tourist benefit. They wear normal cloths.They even go to church on Sunday. Some tribes do however wear this traditional gear, but do fully understand the need to be included in the cash economy. It is because people judge all cultures by how much money they make and so forth. All we need money for is to pay for schools fees and medicine, all else that we need in there. Truly safe from the global financial crisis.

[strugglingman1]

my ancestors were like that long b4..whiteman came n made us wear clothes..that's our cultural pride..that's who we are..

[NikTheCat]

Question for you. Did the people wear nambas before the white man came?

Good for you to regain your cultural pride. We have lost too many cultures to the European style.

[strugglingman1]

@NikTheCat - of course they wore that for so long b4 whiteman came..it was part of the 'rite of passage'..

[lobsangdalha]
