    Documentary about a girl who spent her childhood growing up in the African bush with photographer parents. Befriended and played with wild animals such as myself using her innocence and tact. Compelling pictures showing how misunderstood we can be due to the constant threat of encroachment and pandering by humans.

    Looks like she will need reprogramming to survive in Western "civilization."

    The more I think about it, the more I believe the children are our future.

    I think we should teach them well and let them lead the way....and show them all the beauty they possess inside.

    Honey Bear, I know you know that everybody's searching for a hero...that people..well...they just need someone to look up to.

    HB, I feel you bro...because you learned to depend on you. Find your strength in love.

    You got to respect him though, despite what you think of HB; he decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows. Even if he fail or succeeds, at least he'll live as he believes.

    I'm shocked. I thought this thread would be about Honey Bear solving the hunger crisis in Africa.



    Looks interesting though.

    Coming to America came out 25 years ago and Whitney Houston is dead. Time to move on to something new.

    And yes, someone did pick up on your joke.:grin:

    It's a priceless gift that the parents gave this child.

    Here's Tippi, all growed up. You can tell how her adventures on the African savanna have shaped her life:

    She's in her 20's working for national geographic. She had a tough time readjusting and took a bird with her wherever she went in Paris, lol, but she made it.

    The thing is, if you can survive in the Bush befriending majestic creatures such as myself, you can survive anywhere. Places like Compton, Harlem and Katy don't really compare despite all the gang activity. You can see how fluid and natural she is in the videos and that translates to the concrete jungle - it's a form of confidence.

    It was only a matter of time before some pervert came in here and tried to turn Tippi into someone he could touch himself to. Not only is that inappropriate, but you have terrible taste. :rolleyes:

    I like this comment about Tippi, it can teach a lot of religious people causing problems in the world today (Islams killing others, Christians making everything taboo) that you don't need a book to know yourself or cause you to live in fear.

    Not for the faint of heart:
