How do you know it isn’t their religion to kill outsiders?

My go-to these days is to explain that Jesus already came back, as an impoverished Jamaican called Vivian Jackson (aka Yabby You, aka Jesus Dread), and they missed the boat, but they can still listen to his music and follow his teachings. In fact, if they’re into it, we can spark up a spliff and listen to some righteous dub right now.
I haven’t had one take me up on that yet.

It’s tragic that this person was this stupid. FTFY I have no sympathy at all for him.

Chau was “martyred,” said Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Covenant Journey, a Christian ministry that introduces college-age students to Israel through an immersion program.
/facepalm. Maybe he can be the saint for really stupid people?

He could have just checked the Wikipedia page - it’s kind of right there in the first paragraph:
It is home to the Sentinelese who, often violently, reject any contact with the outside world

Aren’t there already a few of those?
Using the term ‘martyred’ for this is concerning though. I think it only means that somebody else will try again. And again, and again… etc. Until they’ve been wiped out by disease or assimilation.
Religious folk should just learn to leave everyone else alone.

Ah, the sanctimony of the Fundies never ceases to amaze. I wonder what his religious affiliation was.

Maybe the reason that the tribe’s population seems to have been cut in half was other assholes travelling there illegally to force their beliefs on them.

Erm.
A friend of mine had an US American exchange pupil. He came over, aged about what, 12? 14? (I don’t remember, would have to check back with him.) Carried half a suitcase of shampoo and the likes because he didn’t know he could buy in the country he was going to. Was surprised there were things like microwaves and TV, astonished by a working public transport, and absolutely astonished that both Pepsi and Coke were available. And to top everything he seriously inquired what Hitler was doing these days.
The country he was visiting was the FRG.

Nope. It was Bill Hicks. And we didn’t listen. Again.

These ones have apparently been where they are for a few thousand years so rather less of the ‘run away’ element but they are certainly not uncontacted (which I assume is why it’s in quotation marks in the headline).

I studied in England with US students whose parents would send them off with ‘aid parcels’ including all the usual stuff you’d expect (US foodstuffs like Reeses peanut butter cups which you couldn’t get in the UK at the time so fair enough) and… toilet paper.
One of them was genuinely surprised to find that we had indoor toilets in the UK.

That would explain the Kiwi population of north Sydney.
When 9/11 happened, a friend called me at home and said that an airliner had crashed into the WTC and rebounded on to the pentagon…
