Since we’re on this topic, can the US please return all the national treasures they (along with Germany, UK,…, Japan) took when they invaded and occupied China.

You lost them yourselves with the mass exodus to taiwan. Ever been to the National Museum there!!!!!!!

Biff, don’t try and make little of the situation and backpedal. You were nowhere to be found when the shit hit the fan.

I believe that just as it’s time for change in Albany, it’s time here on the OT as well.

I’m going to start a Tea Bagging Party to wipe that smirk off your face.

“None of those groups were sovereign nations within the borders of what is now the USA, with treaties with the US govt. The tax break is not a concession to compensate for mistreatment, it is a tangible vestige of the independent sovereignty that we sort of recognize. Not a comparable situation to other groups victimized by discrimination.”
