If they Chinese invaded right now and took over the US, do you think in 300 years they'll be giving land to the Smith and Jones tribes from New Jersey so that they can build a casino?

Possibly, a couple new missile silos.

Genocide, especically at the hands of Americans, should just be dusted under the carpet. Nope, never happened.
billsfanone Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 We should give them smallpox and alcohol.
KD in CA Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Another assault on personal property rights is ignored so that everyone can whine about what happened to the Indians 300 years ago?

That, and suckling pig and duck. I can't pronounce the Cantonese word on the board in English, but I was known as "The Duck Man" around Causeway Bay. About 100 different ways to do duck. Almost a spiritual experience.
