    i dont know the answer here, but there is something disturbing to me about keeping these people isolated. They aren't animals for cryin out loud. If i were in one of these tribes and saw brief glimpses of some incredibly advanced civilization, i'd want to know about it.

    you hear me, aliens?


    what do you think they are talking about after the helicopter buzzed them?

    Who is to say they are not?


    Which also implies meaning, whatever you call it. The definition is listed above.

    agreed, there is no such thing as a noble savage-so why use the phrase in reference to these people?

    interesting you see me jumping up and down like a raving looney, It's not about that. Simply a matter of principle.


    So I have.

    Words have context and a history. Tybird was expressing an opinion.

    You are making an ass of yourself.

    My opinion.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    why do you consider these people to be "savage"? just curious...
    It's just the phrase that has been used for hundreds of years to describe people who one group consider uncivilized...no personal input on my part...just using the cultural reference.
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

    settle down.

    go read what "noble savage" means.

    first, "savage" as implicated in the term "noble savage" is a reference to ANY peoples who do not have contact with "modern" life and contrivances.

    Tybird is just refuting another poster who is insinuating that these people are "at one with the living world".
    That reference directly envokes the notion of "the noble savage", which is a literary term.

    His response about there being no such thing as a noble savage was an etymological reference to the term, not some racist remark.

    settle the fuck down, and understand what you are talking about before you start insulting people and jumping up and down like a raving looney.

    jesus, people.
    like i said.
    Read. RESEARCH. THEN respond.
    :cool:
    Yes...exactly...the "noble savage" is not an original Tybird production or copy right..it is a concept that has been debated for generations...and with the exact wording of "noble savage." If anyone finds it offensive, go dig the bodies of the folks who coined the phrase and call them names.

    A phrase using the term "savage" is surprising to you...that its biased and outdated?

    The pictures are amazing, though. Hopefully they'll be left alone to keep doing what they're doing.

    I would bet money that religious missionaries will be asking for directions to these tribes immediately. :rolleyes:

    Why this has become more than my simple question , 'why do you think these people are savage?...' is beyond me.

    To use the term noble savage, in reference to these people, holds a certain inference...savage was still the term used.
    In your opinion....the Webster's dictionary in my hand also defines savage as primitive. To throw out phrases or knowledge that one disagrees with or finds offensive is exactly what Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge practiced....Stalin and Hitler before them.

    whoa. The cia had more to do with the Khmer Rouge than any hundred jounalist, misquoting. And that's all this is, a mis-interpretation.

    poor mexicans


    I'm sorry but that is a bit much, don't you think?

    and, although I am a Christian, I sincerely do not believe that someone who knows nothing of Jesus is held accountable for that. Nor do I believe that He does not say at the end of someone's life, "hey are you coming?". But I am a rare kind I suppose because I have told other Christians this thought and got my head cut off.

    I know you were making a point, but don't you kind of think that was not respectful?
