    I don't get it.

    If these people lived on farms with straw hats and played in mariachi bands then it would make sense.

    That's the joke.

    To a lot of Americans, anyone living below the border of the United States is a Mexican.

    They don't know any better. They see darker skin, latin-american features; must be a Mexican.

    I sincerely hope that American missionaries keep their arrogant, ignorant, and diseased fucking hands off these people.
    They've already caused enough genocide - both physical and cultural - in that part of the world.

    If you need any proof just check out Norman Lewis' book 'The Missionaries'.

    You act like the United States invented imperialism and all of its nasty side effects...you need to quit grinding on that ax. We learned our lessons well from our various colonial forefathers.
    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.

    I know you got some stick for this earlier, but I understand your point. And as a libertarian, I'd like all governments to leave all people alone.

    Governments are certainly into social/cultural engineering, telling us who we can hire, what we can't ingest, who we can't marry, what we can't say, prohibitting us from entering into mutually agreed upon contracts if it is something they don't like, taxing us for doing things they don't want us to do while providing subsidies for doing things they want us to do.

    So I get your point that it is hypocritical for some people to say that they wish the tribal culture was protected from their national government, and at the same time support a Republican or Democrat for President here knowing that both parties are interested in growing government, stealing liberty, and continuing their cultural engineering.

    Yep - that's what I meant...although you said it much better.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    That's the way I took it, too.

    That the OP was poking fun at the idiotic racism of Americans rather.
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Being the former seat of the empire, Turkey might deserve some credit in that list...or maybe just refer to the former empire.

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Depends on what those aliens own planet was like. If it was a planet ravaged by wars, inequality, and environmental destruction then maybe they'd be right to leave us alone.

    P.s, U.F.O's don't look anything like dishes anymore. That was so 60's man! :rolleyes:

    Adding to one's cultural beliefs/ways is perfectly fine. It's important we embrace the cultural beliefs we are ingrained with as they are a part of us. We don't have to be attached to them, but rather in harmony and at peace with our own....

    im sorry, this makes no fucking sense to me. no way on earth should i embrace 'my' cultural beliefs just cause theyre 'ingrained' into me. i reject anything i dont feel sits comfortably with my personal beliefs. and i do so after close and careful consideration as to whether my life will be somehow bettered if i do choose to embrace whatever the hell it is being shoved down my throat. thats the beauty of being a critically thinking organism. i can choose to hold close anything i find beneficial or disregard anything i feel is deterimental to my well being. that is what is important to, and for, me. harmony and peace my arse.

    Can you really force someone to change their cultural beliefs? Isn't that a choice.

    No, it's not a choise. Coercion and intimidation play a big part.
    Again, I refer you to Norman Lewis' book 'The missionaries'. He documented pretty conclusively what goes on in these situations.

    Leave them alone?!!

    Shouldn't we attack them with forced, government-sponsored education and healthcare??

    After all, those are the main planks that our politicians run on. Why is OK to force those things on Americans, but not a tribe in Peru?

    Do you think that they have to pay for healthcare or education?

    Someone needs to tax and regulate the savages for their own good.
