People who would ask the United Nations to pay for their WATER BILLS have no principles, whatsoever.

They’ll take the money of ANYONE, no questions asked.

Moving in a number of Asians would improve the overall intelligence of the area quickly.

Not to mention you can understand their speech better than the natives.

“700,000 people, quiet, clean air, no pollution, democracy — what are you waiting for?” The comment generated millions of responses.

The Weibo poster obviously did not do much in the way of due diligence on just who the 700 K people were in his “700,000 people, quiet, clean air, no pollution, democracy — what are you waiting for?” were and what they were all about or he would have understood that his question was self answering

RE: Moving in a number of Asians would improve the overall intelligence of the area quickly.

Not intelligence, really — WORK ETHIC and CHARACTER.

Smart move. They can probably save a lot on shipping charges if they can just build their tanks here.

Judging from how the Chinese have treated blacks in Africa in regard to their investments there, the Chinese aren't too keen on blacks.

Good luck Detroit blacks.

[cripplecreek]

Nothing much going on in Flint and even if there was, conservatives would be too stupid to see it.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Well, it should cure the wild dog problem.

I’m going to have to do some research but how did China and India end up with so high a population? Is it because their societies are so old? I really wish I was born 200 years ago, but I doubt an Englishman would have married a Hungarian.

When Detroit comes back, people will be bitching about how the Chinese own it all.
