dwbiggs Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Quote:Originally Posted by dwbiggs What right do you, or a religious agenda, have to decide whats right for these people? Maybe they worship there own God...they may be as spritiual as you are. And apparently they are in no need of medicines...but I bet they will be if we interfere. Apparently the same right you do when you say its right to leave them alone. :2cents: Good answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 :laugh: "Latino" includes many races, and they all have some bloodline from these Indians? Please man. There was a huge Taino population in south america back in the day. When the europeans (spain, portugal) invaded Brazil several indian tribes went into the amazon to escape. The europeans brought slaves from africa with them. Several years later you a big mix of Indian, African and European which created Latinos. I'm not speaking nonsense. I know because I lived in Brasilia and Goiania. Its nothing but indians out there. The further west you go the more Indians you will see. I'm part Indian myself.

They are people and they have a right to decide for themselves what they want to do. If someone drops by and tells them about the world at large and major religions it's their choice to go on as they have or change. Your assumption is that they are just fine and dandy and none of them would like a different view... based on nothing but your own imagination.

Thats right, they aren't animals....but thats not what alot of missionaries consider them to be if they aren't worshiping their God. They never consider that maybe they are there isolated for a reason...maybe it was Gods will? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving the religious hot potato out of it, that's the kind of door that can't be shut. Introducing ourselves is making the choice for them. On the other hand, not introducing themselves is making the choice for them, too. Maybe they'd want to know about the outside world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again they aren't animals. These are people for crying out loud. We act as if they live in some delicate ecosystem that will be destroyed if humans touch it. They can make choices and frankly we might be of some help to them. For all we know members of their tribe are suffering or dying needlessly from easily treated diseases.

Missionaries help people, even if you don't want to acknowledge it. Right now there are missionaries holding the hand of dying africans that have been isolated from their own families. Right now there are missionaries in central america helping the hated poor get through the day... despite people holding onto backward opinions of them.

Don't forget Asian blood considering all indians in the Americas originally came from Asia through Alaska. And not all Latinos are the same mix of ancestries.

HighPlainsDrifter Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Why should they be left alone? You don't think modern medicine would be beneficial to them? Or food? How did that work out for the American Indian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know members of their tribe are suffering or dying needlessly from easily treated diseases. Well, that's a delicate balance now isn't it? For all we know, they are completely unable to fight diseases that we would expose them to. The question is, should we put them at risk? Afterall, they seem to have survived just fine without 'modern' medicine. Hey zoony - don't you think Jared Diamond wets his pants reading news reports like this? This is probably Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year's all rolled in to one for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
