Question by Darian: Should children be allowed to grow in tribal communities with huts and no education, in civilized countries?

In tribes, where parents and children share and sleep on the floor, inside a single small hut. There's no modern appliances, nor water pipes or electricity, no real medicine, nor real education.

Or should the parents be forced to move to a decent modern place or forced to at least send their children to school or have their kids taken away?
A single hut, also means in some tribes or cultures, that love is made between both parents at night in that hut regardless of company.

And who are YOU to decide to wipe out the way of life, and culture, of a people you can't even understand? Forcing parents in such tribes ( and there are so very few of them left in the world nowadays) to move away from the only home and life they have ever known, just so you could be satisfied that their kids are going to grow up in what you THINK is a "normal" environment, is tantamount to cultural genocide, Darian. Most of these parents could not survive in the modern world without special help and support- the world they were born into and grew up in is the only one they know. Doing what you suggest would mean that these people inevitably become burdens on the government and taxpayers of whatever country they live in. Plus, has it ever entered your head that most of these people would DIE as soon as they were forced into the modern world? NO,not from starvation, but from DISEASES, such as measles, chicken pox, diptheria, tetanus, the flu, pneumonia, and whole long list of other illnesses that they most likely have absolutely no resistance to whatever. If per chance the kids survived ( and this is not likely either) then they would be left orphaned, and become wards of the state, and they would be no better off.

In short, what you are suggesting makes me, and a lot of other people here, SICK, Darian. What are you, a NAZI ? Where is your common sense? Can't you see that wiping out indigenous peoples and their cultures is NOT the way to solve problems? This is one of the most offensive questions I have seen to date, and you need to think about why you asked it. Enough said.
