I completely agree. It seems like the people who are saying this article is pointless are the self-centered elitist ones whose lives are "way better" than those of the people on the island. ...oh by the way, they're lives aren't better.
Got a tip for us?

That's a huge leap. Show me in the article where exactly it states this. Or is this just you jumping to conclusions?
The idea of Pitcairn has always frightened me a bit since the sexual assault trial. 
It's a tiny gene pool, too. If the four families on that island have been there for more than 2 generations, chances are it doesn't matter who you hook up with. You're related somehow.

+1. For those of you who spent the bits to criticize, get a life. Or better yet, just go away.
Reminds me of an old saying:

Wow, I'm kinda jealous. We (well, my dad) pays $40 for 8Mbit/s up and 2Mb/s down. And the reliability sucks. Can't wait until Verizon FiOS comes to my area.

Talk about people living in the stone age.

According to your article Randy Christian allegedly committed his crimes starting in 1988. Do the math.
People need to stop digging into his life and accusing him for the crimes of his ancestors.
can't help to think:
the ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
I guess if your iPad was stolen, you could narrow it down quickly

Not that bad
They have a wide variety of fruits that grow all year round, get a lot of exercise, have fresh seafood everyday, and have great weather.
We have hormone injected foods, get very little exercise (most), breathe lovely smog air and are forced to work for living.
And we wonder where all this cancer is coming from, but at least we have fast internet!
