[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7739396, member: 6925649"] For about 150,000 years most humans lived just like the Native Americans did before European explorers made contact with them. How many cultures existed during those years that were lost to the sands of time because they had no written language to record their events, all we have is archeological evidence to suggest how they lived and died. What use a car, a plane, a computer, to an indigenous person that lives in the Amazon Rainforest? Well for starters a car is a means of transportation, because in the Amazon Rainforest, there are not a lot of trains, buses and other forms of mass transit, so the best way to travel from point A to point B is with either a car, or because of the Amazon's vast river system, by boat. A plane is a more rapid form of transportation, a computer is a means of communication for indigenous people, and also a source of entertainment, they can download movies and so forth. The fact that you use a computer to communicate with us means that you too also cherish western civilization, because without western civilization we would not have these things. Ever hear of Doctors without borders? I once knew a doctor that traveled to the Amazon Rainforest to treat indigenous people living their. If it weren't for western civilization, there could be no doctors without borders, modern medicine wouldn't exist! People would be grubbing a meager existence out in the Amazon Rainforest and dying young. I cherish cultures that are responsible for much of the human progress that occurs, advances in science, transportation, communication, and medicine, what is wrong with that? [/QUOTE]
