no, i agree, it's not just the US. but that's where they are, so i don't blame them for thinking that way. i mean, they've only ever been to Fiji and the US, and Fiji most definitely does not have large factories. it's understandable, right?FarmerChick said:oh I know they weren't saying that factory....but it would be nice to include the 50 other countries that produce the factory smoke also.
oh well...blame the USA for everything in this world right?
I just saw this show at my Sis's house and I loved it! I agree with the above post....it is indeed time for payback. These gentlemen are so intelligent and intuitive that it makes us Americans seem quite primitive and bizarre acting....and I would have to agree.bibliophile birds said:i think it's wonderful for them. i mean, for decades the Western world has been invading them with cameras for specials on the lives of "primitive peoples." to me, as an Anthropologist, this show is a sweet dose of payback. it's about time some of those "primitives" got to follow us around with a camera and comment on our weird behavior.Blackbird said:I don't plan on watching it, it sounds painful. What do the Natives get out of it?
the 5 men that came on this trip said they wanted to understand our lifestyles. which makes sense. they (well, their grandparents probably) worked with the Americans during WWII, so they feel they have some connection with us. they wanted to come to spread a message of peace and hope. that's enough to make me want to watch.
