    Sentinel Island?? Wtf

    So this stupid missionary paddles out there and gets speared, you’ve all read about it, but I’m intrigued as to how these people remain isolated?

    Haven’t they paddled off the island themselves? My first guess was a European shot up the place 150 yrs ago and now they teach their young to spear any white people. Seems that is correct.

    But I’m curious to know what goes through their head when they see planes and boats?

    Crazy shit.

    They want to be isolated. They seem to know there is an outside world, but they want no part of it. I believe the Indian government made it illegal to visit the island so that they could remain protected.

    Quite a few pre-contact tribes out there in the world still. Mostly in the Amazon, iirc

    India forbids visitors partly to protect the islanders from diseases for which they have likely not developed any immunity.

    I call bullshit. If this ain’t got the classic signs of a super villain evil lair, I don’t know what does.....

    time to send in Bond.... James Bond.

    But which one?

    They think you are invading like a caravan of central Americans. Same shit goes through their head as people that think tear gassing kids is okay. FEAR!

    Having one fewer missionary around is always a win.

    Best part is the guy went out the day before, got shot at, ran, then went back.

    Was he going to show them the missionary position?

    Always have a backup plan, like out of spear range backup.

    How far can you chuck a goddamn spear accurately though? 50 yards? I shoot guns, no idea. Seems you'd have to get pretty damned close and think well this shit does not look good, but maybe a little closer it will.

    James Bond is 37 in Moonraker and 42 years old in 1964.

    Idris Elba is 46.

    42 years old back in the early 1960s looks a lot older than 46 years old in 2018.
