    Nothing new. But interesting none the less.

    An often over looked area of the world:

    Papua New Guinea, wait till about 10 or 11 minutes in.

    At one point in the video they stated that it is tradition to fight among tribes but that now instead of injury there is usually death due to arms.

    Who then is really to blame. They still arrange a fight day between villages every few months and have driven the police away due to being more heavily armed than they are.

    Not sure what to make of this whole video as it rather a contradiction on so many levels.

    Well its good they don’t have nukes

    And you could look at the crips and bloods in the states all the gang violence

    you could look at all the wars we fight are we the west a lot better .

    I think humans are inclined to be violent, this isn’t surprising violence is part of nature we are animal’s, the majority of animals are violent.
    Animals fight over resources even within species you have this battle for resources, really looking at it that way it’s surprising we aren’t exterminating the population of Papua and taking over the country for our tribe



    We certainly still fight wars for resources

    Papua New Guinea is my ultimate travel tour. travel tour. Talk about an adventure. There are over 850 Languages on that little Island. It is the most true frontier. There is still ritualized Cannibalism practiced there, nothings been discovered.

    You could make someone mad and get eaten. You could just wander through, pick up a plant nobody's ever discovered and take it back because it looks pretty, and you've accidentally cured cancer like Fleming.

    Revolting that people would profit off their wars though.
