It's those bastards in the UFO again!

Better do something topical for a change…

You hear about these dudes on an island in the Bay of Bengal, about 1000 miles west of Borneo? Stone age tribe, last time anyone tried to land on that island was in the 1700’s, and the buggers killed two of them before they could get back to the boat. The Chinese met similar results before that. Couple of weeks ago two poachers were fishing nearby and landed on the island. The islanders promptly killed them, buried the bodies in shallow graves and ran into the bush. Helicopters sent to survey the situation were hit with a barrage of stones. The island falls under India’s jurisdiction and now the Indian government has a problem. Technically the Islanders should be tried for murder, except they have no concept of the outside world, nobody knows their language, how many of them there are (estimates between 50-200) and then there’s that thing where they savagely attack anyone who tries to land…they can’t even get the bodies back. And because the area is strictly no entry, the poachers sort of had it coming.

Its basically an episode from Star Trek.

I'm glad there is still civilization that hasn't been touched by "advanced technology". Who is to say we are god, and invade their world. They obviously don't think so, other wise they wouldn't have killed those people. In their world, people shouldn't come from the sky. I'm sure they are doing just fine without us. Imagine that!
