  • @naruto2260 if to you being a man constitutes for cutting skin and getting hurt for no reason then you are dumb, a smart man would by all mean live life defensively and try no to bring pain to himself

  • @neolord42 i ment in that county... your dumb for not trying to think the way they think instead of being closed minded to your own culture

  • @naruto2260 i have traveled to over 50 countries and i have seen what they do and why...this ritual that they perform (while it may be traditional) accomplishes nothing physically for the men...thats all im saying, basically its a waste of time, effort and not to mention the diseases they could get from that

  • @neolord42 ok i understand where ur coming from but dont u think they get more pride?

  • @naruto2260 pride yes...however they are hubris (which means overfilled with pride) they are able to perform the same tasks as the common man without doing this, however you are correct, it is what they do and i respect that, but they need to rethink this

  • 0:49 Super pink spit from hell.

  • So in the ancestrals time the tribes had razorblades?

  • @Lemieuxgab00

    no, you can throw a rock at a bigger rock to split it. the split rock is sharp enough to cut human flesh.

  • WTF! !

  • man this is how i fuckin shave

  • Why am I watching this, and how did I get here o.O

  • and they wonder how AIDS spread

  • I would be pissed as FUCK if they messed up my scars.

  • I'm glad my transition from a boy to man was when I went to a strip bar.

  • They can always say no.and move on to better things.. that is how here in Europe we became so successful - "thinking out of the box" Those people been doing that same thing for hundred thousands of years without the eagerness to change.. I mean what kind of life is that ?? It's sick..

  • @EuropeanGuy87: Europeans became successful because they thought outside the box, eh? Europe has been dominated by religious dogma for pretty much all of recorded history and scientific progress in Europe has been painfully slow because people are extremely reluctant to "think outside the box", so where are you getting your info from? European colonialism took place exactly because people like YOU exist, people who think their way is superior, or better. You can only see these peoples' practices

  • @McTaggStar Yes, that's right. I wanna remind you that Europeans created the "Large Hadron Halliter" right here in Europe.. which is the biggest science project in the world - If it weren't for the Europeans, blacks would still run wild in Africa nowadays.. It took white people to drag them out of the wilderness !!! Also when white people reached America, those dumb Native Americans had no idea what a" wheel" was.. come on.. gimme a break

  • @EuropeanGuy87: ....................

    You're an idiot. " If it weren't for the Europeans, blacks would still run wild in Africa nowadays.. It took white people to drag them out of the wilderness !!!" And WHAT would be wrong with that? There you go again think your European culture is the superior way of being human. "... those dumb Native Americans had no idea what a" wheel" was.. come on.. gimme a break" They were clearly getting along just fine though! And who's so say they would not have

  • @EuropeanGuy87: eventually figured it out? I really don't give a flying fuck about the LHH - science is ultimately a cultural affair. Science works great for us, sure. I'm a science student myself. In other cultures, though, they may get along just fine without it. Re-think your European-superiority mind frame, my friend.

  • @McTaggStar What are you talking about ? Europeans might be superior in culture and technology nowadays but I did not say I feel superior above other people. If I ever feel "superior" is because I feel lucky I was born in a good family and environment, where I can do things in freedom without having to worry that someone will chop my head off, like they do in other countries. Besides it looks like you are European as well, why not be proud ?

  • @EuropeanGuy87: You said "Europeans might be superior in culture and technology nowadays" then go on to say that you do not think you are superior. You have a mind-set such that European culture is superior, and you just blatantly said it, and its preposterous. Yes, I'm Scottish. I'm proud of my heritage, but it is NOT superior, there are many ways to be a person on the planet, including running in the bush in a loin cloth, and that is fine. It is not a "lesser" way to be human.

  • @McTaggStar I have many reasons to believe the Europe has the best culture and let's face it technology. things like the invention of phone, wireless connections, cars, even Government was invented in Europe. These are big differences comparing to some Africans that live like nomads. Now I don't wanna get into the anthropology and genetics because it's really my strong subject and I don't like to argue .. let's end the argument here.. we both have our opinions..I respect yours !

  • @EuropeanGuy87: from the vantage point of your own culture. If you ACTUALLY thought "outside the box", you would attempt to empathize with these people are endeavour to look at these practices from THEIR vantage point. How can you evaluate one culture's practices by the standards of your own? That is like a critic evaluating a movie by the standards he would use to evaluate a broadway performance. It doesn't work that way. I think you ought to "think outside the box".

  • i would fuckin do it as crazy as that seems 

  • @McTaggStar Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Seek it.

  • Actually mister "McTaggStar", I've been reading over things you said to others and I figured out you're a judgmental person and I don't need to concern myself with people that suffer from a possible personality disorder or judgmental religious-like behavior. THAT is what's ignorant. Bye.

  • @Viktir666: Yes, that's fine. When I have been intellectually battered I also tend to make ad hominem attacks as well in order to sooth my ego.

  • @McTaggStar Liar. It's over. Bye Jew fag.

  • @Viktir666: "Bye Jew fag." I also call people laughable names when I'm frustrated and upset. You're clearly insecure, taking my argumentative nature as a personal threat to your ego. Silliness! Bye, little boy.

  • @McTaggStar Bye kike.

  • People, it is not wrong to feel disgusted by this, but it is fallacious to reason that it is wrong, or intrinsically disgusting. Cultural practices need to be judged and evaluated by their own standards, not ours. We must not be ethnocentric.

  • THATS TORTURE

  • THAT IS  DISGUSTING

  • Ignorance.

  • @Viktir666: You are ignorant. You may feel disgusted by this, as am I; but to take that disgust and place it upon their practices and say that it IS disgusting, wrong, or ignorant, is to make an evaluation of their cultural ways by the standards of your own - it is ethnocentric.

  • @McTaggStar That's the cool thing about human rights, we all have the right to our opinion. Just because you don't agree with my feelings doesn't mean I'm "ignorant". Maybe your empathy for me has failed and you're the "ignorant" one? Do you see how you're not right and either am I? Opinions are opinions and they don't matter in the long run. If I said I disagree with you therefore you're a judgmental Jewish asshole, does that mean you're literally what I called you? No, opinions are opinions.

  • @Viktir666: Opinions can be either good or bad, and I don't know about you, but I do not live in a fancy-free world in which all opinions are on the same level playing-field. Yes, it does make you ignorant. As I said, it's one thing to feel disgusted. Feeling disgusted is an automatic, mechanical reaction that you can't help. But to go from that to saying that these peoples' practice is ignorant is itself ignorant. Why, you ask? As I said, because that is making an evaluation of their

  • @Viktir666: practices by the standards of your own culture. In North America and western Europe, that behaviour is not condoned. But they are not bound by the cultural practices, beliefs, and social norms of Euro-American culture. Calling the practice of another people "ignorant" is itself ignorant because what you are literally saying is that they are ignorant, and because you yourself wouldn't engage in that practice, you are not ignorant. It's ethnocentrism.

  • @McTaggStar More assumptions. You're the ignorant one for assuming I am comparing it to MY culture. I'm not comparing to MY culture. I'm comparing to scientific FACTS about infections and bodily damage. Are you religious? Besides, culture is not real. It's a man-made invention. Just like religion. Fact.

  • @Viktir666: "I'm not comparing to MY culture. I'm comparing to scientific FACTS about infections and bodily damage." Yes, you are. Ethnocentrism need not be a conscious thing. Most times it is not. "Are you religious?" No, I'm not. But whether I am doesn't figure into this at all. "culture is not real. It's a man-made invention." Yes, culture is real. Being man-made does not make it non-existent, or not real.

  • @Viktir666: It's also extremely chauvinistic to think that we in the western world are the "enlightened" ones and they are the "ignorant" people who still partake in such ignorant behaviours as body modification. It's people like you with that mind-set that are responsible for the colonization - and subsequent destroying - of some of the worlds most beautiful non-western cultures.

  • @McTaggStar I'm not talking about the Western world having anything better than them. You're going off on a tangent and STILL assuming. You're once again being ignorant because you think I give a shit about enlightenment or the Western world. You're freaking out and you're starting to make me believe you have a personality disorder. Let's stop arguing, I am tired of repeating the facts to you. Bye permanently because I'm afraid you need Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

  • @Viktir666: Once again, I also accuse people of psychiatric disorders when I'm upset *raises eyebrows*. You are incredibly ignorant. Pick up a text on cultural anthropology, and this will all make sense to you, my friend.

  • @McTaggStar I said it's over between us. (I'm sure that's not the last time you'll ever hear that phrase because women don't like being with guys who make dumb ass accusations like you are and argue like a fucking bratty kid).

  • @Viktir666: "dumb ass accusations" How many psychiatric disorders did you accuse me of having? I'm sorry you can't handle a little criticism, that's too bad. I merely pointed out that it is ignorant to assume that another culture's practices are themselves ignorant. What in the FUCK gives you the right to determine which cultural practices in another culture are ignorant and which aren't? And ignorant with respect to what? Modern science? That's ethnocentrism my friend. You're an idiot.

  • @McTaggStar Like I said, it's over so you get no more from me. Sorry jewfag.

  • @Viktir666: Yet, you keep replying, and what's worse, you keep making yourself look worse and worse with your "jewfag" and "kike" remarks. I will continue to reply to you, you don't get the luxury of last word, my friend! I think you've got some growing up to do. When you've been cornered your break out in ridiculous "insults" and accusations of insanity and religiosity. Are you 15 in your mind? Congrats, you can regurgitate some words from the DSM!

  • @Viktir666: Lol "jewfag". I think I last heard a 13 year old kid say that when I cooped in high school. What could be the purpose of that comment? It could hardly be offensive, because if I don't see anything wrong with being jewish or gay. So do you simply say it for the purpose of making yourself look even more ignorant and ridiculous than you already have? Or do you want people to think you're 13 years old? Very strange indeed.

  • @McTaggStar More opinions.

  • @Viktir666: No, I'm pretty sure its an objective, demonstrable fact that you're a douche bag. Anyone who uses the term 'jewfag' is basically trash, lol.

  • @McTaggStar Opinion. Fail.

  • @Viktir666: Nah, you don't know what an opinion is. What a pity. I just love it when people barricade themselves in the word 'opinion' so they don't have to take accountability for what they say. Say anything you feel like, then pass it off as mere opinion and relieve yourself from the burden of substantiating it. ;)

  • @McTaggStar The burden of proof is on the accuser. I win.

  • @Viktir666: I already told you, an opinion necessarily is non-propositional. "This icecream is good" bares no truth value. Everything you have said is propositional - it could be either true or false. So what you have said is not opinion. You're a fucktard. "I win." Ugh, you don't win anything. Except for millions of people seeing your comments and how much of an idiot you are.

  • @McTaggStar "Fucktard"? What a trendy, childish, immature word. But hey, it's just my opinion, right? "Idiot"? Another opinion. Don't you love having the freedom of opinion? I do.

  • @Viktir666: Lol, you're calling me childish for calling you a fucktard, when you started the name game with "jewfag"? But idiot, yes you are, it's not an opinion. Remember what an opinion is, Einstein? It's something that can't be true or false. Like, "Chocolate icecream is the best!" That statement is neither true nor false, since it says something about about icecream as such but my sentiments about it. That's an opinion. You already demonstrated your idiocy however, when you said that culture

  • @Viktir666: isn't real. That was probably one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard anyone say, ever. Culture is the non-genetic means of adaptation that is the necessary consequence of human physiological frailty. If culture does not exist, then humans do not exist. We would be extinct. Clearly, how you define what is real and what is not is rather messed up. But you also don't understand the difference between a belief and an opinion. Even further evidence of your idiocy.

  • @McTaggStar I feel bad for you. All of that time in college and you're still illogical.

  • I am so glad I am a European girl :]

  • @MultifunctionalMe I am also glad that you're a European girl. -says the pervy man

  • Origins of emo

  • @FirsthDreamcatcher these things?? It's a shame that you are mixed with "normal" people

  • emo tribe lol

  • i dont get it,, why is it always the guys who do this kind of innitiation,, damnit, if the girls just automatically become women or have a painless innitiation then why do the 'men' have to do THIS CRAP...

  • @Tslikkhands96 the women may be treated as inferior, less powerful, have to deal with hormones and painful childbirth, and none of that is even specific to the culture presented here, so who knows... but they're not really getting off easy here. get it now?

  • @Tslikkhands96 birth with no professional meds, thats all im gonna say, but i know it would suck to be a guy there, thats why im glad to be a guy here

  • how the hell did i get here...

  • Are they like chewing a hallucinogenic plant or something?

  • @FirsthDreamcatcher Every culture is different. There are things we do that people in other cultures would consider barbaric or taboo. Not that I can agree with FGM, of course, that's just cruel and meant purely to make sure a woman doesn't get pleasure out of sex. These are cuts that heal and create a pattern. We even have something like this, scarification, where the artist cuts a design into the skin to heal into a pattern. I personally wouldn't do that, and I'm covered in tats.

  • fuck being a man! id rather be a bitch!

  • @sockman534 Thank god we live in western society.

  • @sockman534 you're a bitch.

  • I RATHER BE A LITTLE BOY FOR LIFE

  • My.. body.. hurts...

  • fucking emos

  • what's up infection?

    

  • at 1:44 hes laying using the guys dick as a pillow

  • @deadlyey5

    That's the same thing I saw, facedown too, dang!

  • they must be healthy as fuck if they got that much blood to spare

  • It's interesting that this actually their culture and a regular ritual in where they live and their family is. They feel belonging to their culture just as most do anywhere.

    So if any of us were born down there, likely most or nearly all would go through that or feel the consequence of not subjecting to it. You become a man after this. Just like most religion give you afterlife in heaven or reincarnation if you act to their dogma.

    BUT HOLY SHIT, that is a wild ritual compared to our bullshit

  • Like this if you would run like a pussy

  • Manhood is overrated. I'll do just fine without mutilating my body.

  • THATS BRAVE OF THE MEN IF I GOT 1 cut I would cry 100 I would die

  • Pathetic

  • @j03y2fly try it if you said pathetic....bet you'll run like a little chick

  • @richardb5068 Why would I do something so barbaric and pointless, risking my own health and exposing myself to so much pain and disease? I live in something called the 21st century, where becoming a man means getting a good education, a good job, supporting and loving your family, and owning nice assets - NOT cutting myself like someone from 50,000 years ago. Where is your logic?

  • Geezus!

  • I would do that, if i travel to the tribe and see what they do. I would ask if i could try. I'll try not to cry. I would not run like a man, i would stand where i am and do it.

  • chuck norris jokes are getting fucking old

  • and i thought Blood Initiation was fucked...

  • i wouldn't even suffer 2 cuts, let alone 100 *-*

  • There are some retarded traditions out there. For reals!

  • @mrpavel018 Other traditions are not retarted! That's how tribes do the tradition!

  • Wow. Impressive.

    But the question is, is circumcision any more civilized than this?

  • @RPBiohazard I guess you'd have to determine that for yourself. If you were presented with the two options and had to choose one which would you go for? Personally, I would rather have a small design carved into my upper arm with a razor blade than have my clitoris, the hood and labia cut off of my body. How much skin cutting would I suffer to save my genitals... I don't know. Either way I think the run like I have never run before sounds good to me. Time to make new friends.

  • OMG!

  • OH HELL NO. I'd tuck my little tarzan underwear between my legs and get the fuck out of dodge holy SHIT this is crazy.

    manhood should be decided by how fast you can run away.

  • Just joking :)

    looks fun :)

  • I want to be like them!!!!!!!

  • Jesus Christ Western Civilization is far superior

  • @Cioppa182 i hope ur joking

  • @JellyBellyJustin No I'm not joking.... what are you fucking retarded? This "ceremony" is barbaric and idiotic

  • @Cioppa182 because devoting ones life to a mesiah who may or may not come back is not idiotic. dont be so fucking retarded. its their culture, and just as jesus is part of your life, this ritual is part of theirs. if u cant be a but liberal about this, then shut the fuck up and get off the internet.

  • @JellyBellyJustin lol angry man

  • pshhhh chuck noris used a chainsaw to make his

  • this is seriously fucking disgusting. this is what fucking animals do, not human beings. im sorry, i try to respect all cultures, but this is just grotesque.

  • and thats why i live in the usa
