The noble savage isn't better than a civilized man, they're still savages. The quality celebrated is the purity and innocence of ignorance. A noble savage may eat the heart of his enemy, as it is his culture and he knows no better. He is unburdened by civilization and within that context his actions are proper and right. To judge him by civilized standards would be incorrect and ethnocentric in a liberal school of thought.

I think that's wrong, I don't think they get a pass. These people have cell phones and the internet and they do this anyways. They're just savages and nothing excuses it.
