Not until they invade and slaughter everyone here. And no that's probably not going to happen. Hilarious that people think this way though.

This is among the dumbest arguments I've ever read on the Internet. I'm not sure if I'm not just being trolled, but it's like someone arguing Google didn't make Google Reader because they made Google Search. You can do more than one thing.

Apologies. That's just what I thought of when the comparison with indigenous was brought up.

But that's not the only reason it's a bad comparison. When Manhattan was purchased there was no market. Chinese are buying things at market prices. Which I was taught are fair.
