It's great that you guys stopped the primitive infanticide practice. Was it due to being civilized by Europeans?
@KasoFakundo21 күн бұрын
@@grandtheftavocado No infanticide has ever been recorded to have happened in that country. They only have tribal wars in the past, where adult men of different tribes fight each other over land boundary or other social issues including marriages that was not approved by majority of tribes' men and etc. I guess those tribal war back then not so different from the any other war, including the Ukraine- Russia war for example. The only exceptions is that the current Ukraine-Russia war uses weapon of mass destruction.

Worked on some of their solar systems and Liz fixed a sewing machine. I tried to fix one of their ancient corroded invertors to no avail. We are house sitting for bit in Canada (living in a house with furniture, a big TV and internet !) so we watched some of your videos on KZbin.

We had the Argentinian fellow Pablo whose boat was crushed the same year year as your passage over for dinner when we were in northern BC a few months ago. Quite a year to pick to go through !
