The following is a description of Tiki Central from Tikiroom.com;

WHAT IS TIKI CENTRAL?
Quite simply, Tiki Central is the largest collection of Tiki enthusiasts on the web -- and probably anywhere! Tiki Central is a newspost for the latest Tiki news, a meeting place for Tiki people, an UberAlbum for Tiki Photos, and Calendar Of Events for the greatest Tiki Lounge parties in the world. Tiki Central is the best resource for:

Tiki Events parties, tiki bar openings, tiki bar closings
Tiki Bars Yes, tiki bars, new and old, are discussed all the time
Tiki Findings Mugs, statues, poles, plates, belt buckles, napkins, pop culture references, etc.
Tiki Drinks Mai Tai, Scorpions, you get the idea.
Tiki History Classic bars, etc.
Tiki Music Martin Denny, Les Baxter, Don Tiki, and other legends"

As one may notice, drinking and bars weigh heavily here. Discussing REAL Polynesian culture is not often done--this site leads more towards the concept of Polynesian Pop which is a loose (and not always accurate)interpretation of the Polymesian lifestyle. I enjoy learning some REAL facts about real Polynesian Culture when they do pop up here-but ,K'eli, to generally call (most of) us idiots is not going to warm us up to receiving the benefits of you knowledge. Correcting someone, I feel, is most welcome as long as one doesn't insult or attack them. All I can think of when reading the quote of yours that Monkeyman posted is YIKES!!!
