It's very simple. You can set up a cage around their land, and patrol it with security(you know, treat them like animals) or interact with them. And give them diseases and kill them all. Or they integrate and become just "people". And then if they want their land, they can hang on to it or sell it as they see fit but the huge problem is homesteading. If it's just a mud hut and some torch poles, then how much land can they really claim right to? (Especially as individuals, now. The tribe claims the whole jungle. But any one person? Hmmm...) It's like the Native American argument. More imaginary lines on a map that someone makes up and says they inhabited all this. Doesn't work like that. You can have all the land you can keep. You can't point your finger and say this is all mine! Unless you're a government. And if these tribes are doing that, I hope they go extinct. Look at the Papua New Guinea stories that come out often. One recently, they held a witch trial and used the fact the guy still had his heart as evidence that these 4 women stole his heart... and put it back. But those indigenous peoples have decided to wear cotton, so we just call them "people". And it's OK to call those savages, savages. But run around in tree branches and eat bugs? Oh, they need to be protected and preserved and world's treasures. No, they're the same people, and there's nothing beautiful about rounding them up in zoos or giving them deadly flu. People stay away because they're scary and dangerous. That's their best defense. The most compassionate thing to do is allow them access to medical care when they do come in contact with everyone else. And assign them responsibility for their (in)actions. Or they'll never make it.

Great. And if that "jerk" comes here, out negotiates me, and I end up shirtless, more power to him. And if your definition of idiot doesn't include people with IQ's between 50 and 70 running around in their underwear and poking rocks through their genitals, congratulations. Mine does. Species, as a word, has a definition. Don't know where you're going with that. But since you wandered into whatever this is, there are dozens of articles chronicling the dwindling populations of these tribes due to renunciation of membership and joining(what apparently doesn't exist) civilization and more advanced societies. So, I don't know. Whatever. I don't see the point you're trying to make, but that's the best I can do to answer your question. Individuals coming together create a civilization. How so...? I'm holding the individual responsible for their current decisions. You're the one playing cop-out by injecting this genetic determinism. Mommy-coddling them removes their accountability and agency, if you want to talk about antithetical to libertarianism. I don't care about their genetics. If Donald Trump or Ted Turner approach a tribe and say you each get 20 iphones for this jungle, they take it, then sucks to be them. But it's a choice they made, out of ignorance, just as someone who buys the TrueCoat at the dealership or keeps playing the same number on the lotto for 16 years. They don't get a pass because they haven't advanced in thousands of years. Listen to country songs. A good chunk of them are about what mommy or daddy did, telling their kid not to. This is an important lesson, if the tribes haven't bothered to learn it, why would I bother worrying about it? Oh, they have to put clothes on and shower?!?! Oh, the humanity. I guess they could join the Aborigines in the desert that nobody wants anything to do with. And maybe it's the same with the jungle people. Maybe they just end up on land nobody wants. And something like that would happen, if not for the imaginary lines around said jungle(see: the United States of America).

First: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/idiot?s=t Start there. And you have these quotes... I don't recall saying anything about shifting. And I'm blocking you so, respond if you want but it won't be to me.

Imagine nothing. I've been camping. And hunting, fishing, foraging. Your condescending, snotnosed attitude has run its course. If you have something to say, say it. I don't mince words, I would appreciate the same in return.

Wait, why the hell would I do that? Are you calling me a retard? So have common garden snails. Worship them if you really want to, I'm busy automating million dollar equipment and piloting vehicles faster in first gear than any human has ever run...

This guy got away with murder. Manic depressive, impotent, pissed off man in a camper accidentally strangles wife... Dangerous precedent. I'll be damned.

I thought ignorance is bliss? Civilization ain't all puppies and rainbows. But it's the price we pay for advancement of the species. I don't reserve any sympathy for, nor waste any resources on, a human too lazy to invent a wheel to offset the weight of carrying a load but has plenty of time to stick cylindrical rocks through their nose or put round plates in their lower lip. They would be deemed mentally retarded by any culture civilized enough to wash their hands after scratching their ass. This is not something to endorse, subsidize or encourage.

In the past, I think they were more honest about what they were. Wanda Jackson knew she couldn't stack up to Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and Raquel Welch knew they were just hot. And they seemed to enjoy their lifestyles, just the same. In fact, from what I can tell, in the past it was the point for women to become actresses to sleep with famous people. There wasn't a hell of a lot of 'respect me for my talent' BS going on. Even though acting was bad, you take a Jimmy Stewart. He was funny, charming, looked cool and was generally likeable, pleasant. Rita Hayworth was hot and sexy. Cary Grant has his face next to the word 'man' in the dictionary. Humphrey Bogart, Marlon Brando, on and on. Extremely cool people, with different personalities and charms and wit. Then you move over to the actresses... They were hot. And they knew that's what they were being paid for. Consequently, since that's all they had to be, they were so utterly, ridiculously attractive. To the point I wouldn't say in comparison, any actress today(excepting maybe Olivia Wilde) even comes close to the 50's stars.

Who cares? They're idiots. Once allowed, someone smart would trick them into giving away millions of acres for a few shiny rocks or something. Civilization doesn't really protect stupidity. The state does, but even now you can still go to Vegas and play slots, have your palm read and purchase computer fans that fit inside your car's air intake tube. Anarchy would force them to evolve or die. With any luck, that is. I suppose some misguided, paternalistic voyeurs might provide a reservation sanctuary for them.

F*ck the immigrants. We're broke. 2016 could be the year of #1's: USA, John Deere, Caterpillar, VW. Might lose them all

No means no, but nobody said it. And in order for agression to take place, there has to be a perpetrator. Here, we're looking at two victims, presumably. And I don't think sleepwalking is much of a defense. Not anymore than falling asleep at the wheel. You're still going to be liable for damage. They won't just brush that aside.

Blood boiling, stomach churning stuff right there. I hope I never confront someone who tries to pitch this asshole's lines to me... I was always intrigued by the Hank Rearden character more so than John Galt, because the walk away and hope for the best ideology pisses me off, but, I see the support for this loser and I'm forced to accept the inevitability of it all.

Hey, these robots... Who designs, engineers, build, installs, commissions, programs them? And their support systems, whether it be conveyors, cooling systems for data centers, pneumatics, energy consumption metering, sterilizing/cleaning, then all the same pieces... For the sterilization equipment. Then you got pharmaceuticals and physically small produced goods that can't be reasonable made at all by human hands. Or Amazon distribution centers and logistics, so you can get your vintage candy and neat-o pool cue in 4 days with free shipping? It's not that anyone here(except you) is cutting out the human element. It's that they're more advanced than to worry about the few people still performing un-skilled, manual labor that is only a few steps away from complete automation anyway(and should be) in that the goods produced will now be cheaper for all. And if there's a learning curve while society realizes that the state is hindering advancement while the parasites melt away from their own apathy, so be it. You don't get to hold back technology & innovation because you got laid off from the potato chip plant.

To hell with everyone, though, really. Are they working to improve their condition? Yeah? Great, what do they need your sympathies for? Are they languishing in mediocrity and apathy? 'Fraid so. Then what have they done to deserve sympathy? This idea of caring about strangers needs to go already. At best, it's like praying. In other words, doing nothing. And worst case, you're enabling their behavior. Praise a good deed and reject a bad one, then move along. Lots of shit needs to get done and not enough people doing it. Feeling sad for blown up babies, homeless drunks, diseased prostitutes... Wasted energy. Your bad feelings won't stop the bombs dropping. Sociopaths will always fill the ranks of the state. And empathizing with those lacking empathy will only result in a lack of empathy.

But in not wanting someone to disagree with you, you are disagreeing with them, proving UPB. They don't want to agree with you and you don't want to agree with them. Agreeing to disagree, as it were. We can see definitively that your preference for agreement is not universal. Murder would follow from I want you to die, but you don't want to die, ergo, it becomes immoral. If someone wants to die, and you want to kill them, it's not murder.

Shit like that makes me want to get famous just to say this kind of stuff and then NOT apologize. I wish people would stop doing that.

It was mixed where I was. Some were hot, most were fat minorities. I think it has more to do with 'cultural makeup'. Read that as redneck and country hoes are hot, but not bright or anything else at all, really. What else is apparently common in white people states/towns/etc. is good looking women, with fat stupid guys. I know it as true from my experience, but I've been told it's common elsewhere, to an even greater degree, in the south and midwest. I don't see it as much in big cities. It's usually very effeminate men. But the point is, small towns, good looking, stupid women without any semblance of proper upbringing. However poverty is not necessarily a part of it. There are some niche redneck type jobs that don't require a good deal of intelligence. So, lots of princesses who want a little "mini-me" like their retarded hoe-roes on TV, have a support group and plenty of idiots waiting in the wings to be Mr. Paycheck for the rest of their lives.

So, someone who proposes attacking smaller people as a means of control is afraid of larger people attacking them as a means of control. Yeah, I can see why that makes sense.

Your suspicions are irrelevant. Care to back that up? This is a youtube level argument. Saying things doesn't make them true.

Ahh... Wasn't aware it had gotten that bad. Solutions to that are being prepped as well. In time, I'm sure there will be more. I know when DI was new, it wasn't long before oil catch cans(despite debatable effectiveness) were adapted to the new engines. http://2microntech.com/

It's my understanding that the main component affected would be the EGR(exhaust gas recirculation) valve. By running as they do, it plugs less. By running it in EPA mode, it routes more exhaust gas through it and thus, sees more wear. So much so, that you'd be cleaning it quite often. I actually had one of these cars, a 2011 Jetta TDI 6-Speed. It was that or the CRZ. Well, the Honda was more expensive, got worse mileage, a lot smaller and even managed to be slower. Personally, I wouldn't worry much about the high pressure fuel pump. Direct Injection is basically the standard these days, so the construction is pretty similar between diesel and gas. They're not prohibitively expensive. I changed the one in my Mini and it was only $325 or so, and about an hour to install. There exists particulate filter delete downpipes and methods of hollowing them out. And, as I mentioned, software tuning is around $450, which compensates for both EGR and particulate filter deletion, if so desired. In short, all your worries can be remedied cheaply if you want to keep your car. My dad still has one as well, a 2010, and if it comes to it, I'm sure he'll be putting all this really cool stuff on vs a new car. For off-highway use only, though as I'm sure you would do as well...

It. The situation. Not fraud. Maybe we can cover the topics of 'some stuff', 'folks' and 'that one thing while we're here.

Admitted what? There's practically nothing written in that article that isn't opinion.

Exactly, and technically, the car can still get any advertised number. Not to mention, if you get a ecu tune from a handful of tuning houses, you get even more HP, MPG and potentially emissions, which to my knowledge is only 'for off-highway use' in California. Or not, but people do it anyway and there's nobody rolling out the guillotines for them. Exactly -0- drivers see the same numbers the EPA does during their tests. Whether it's emissions, fuel consumption, performance or otherwise. There's literally, nothing to see here and it's being bandied like the start of WWIII.
