Why Don't the Liberals Want a Wall?

[Arthur Brain]

Though in fairness, stupid isn't a protected class.


She was treated at a local hospital for third degree embarrassment and a serious dislocation of her funny bone.


Maybe a new employee misread the, "No shoes, no shirt, no service" sign.

Barbarian reminds Sod:
We already went over that. As you learned, walls that long don't work. Never have. Trump cited the great wall of China, (which is much more strongly built than his proposed wall would be), and it failed repeatedly.

(Sod gets a bit cranky)



Good idea. You'll probably feel better afterwards.

Just remember, you usually can see through fences, but you usually can't see through walls. That should clear up your confusion next time, Sod.



Yep. By definition. People who guard these borders want to be able to see what's going on, on the other side. This is why we (and the Israelis) use more fence than wall. It works better.



You're getting confused, again. Remember, I showed you that short walls like those for prisons, work pretty well, but really long walls have always failed.



(Barbarian checks)

Pretty much so. As you see, his favorite wall failed so badly, the country was twice overrun and conquered by other nations after the wall was completed.



See, it was a bad idea for you to sleep in history class.

outstanding!


good job barbie! :first:

Thats a bald faced lie. The wall between East and West Germany worked damn good. Barely anybody ever got across it except a rare few.

shhhh - just humor him

he's very old and his mental facilities, while never very robust, have markedly diminished since trump's election


just pat him on the head and give him a cookie - he'll be happier that way

You're ruffling the quills of a certain bridge dweller.

Do keep it up!

There never was a wall that long between the two. The Berlin wall was about 87 miles. That's it. As usual, what you don't know, just bit you in the wallet pocket.

very good, barbie!

Since intojoy has completely outclassed him in that effort, I've been trying to entice him into trying to honestly engage with people. And I've had some luck. Problem is, he keeps relapsing. Two steps forward, one step back.

Do keep it up!

I'm working on it.

.....There never was a wall that long between the two. ......

Once again, "wall" is a euphemism. Please join us on planet earth you half-wit

Intojoy and "class" really don't belong in the same sentence unless the qualifier "a complete lack of" comes into play...are you sure you didn't mean the latter the other way around?

I'm working on it.

You do know he'll probably need some more brick work before long?

now now, that's no way to talk to an elder suffering from dementia

he enjoys attacking this strawman he's constructed, let him have his fun

 

[Town Heretic]

Then how do you survive, dope

Just say no...and learn to punctuate properly.

Just one more and he'll have a full load. :thumb:

noun
noun: euphemism; plural noun: euphemisms

I think you mean "figure of speech." Unless you're disgusted or embarrassed by walls, and think most other people are.

Indeed! That's why the destruction of it some years later... was a major, historic celebration! :up:

That is ANOTHER ignorant statement, because their wall was meant to imprison people on the inside, and our is meant to keep OUT invaders, and thats why theirs was evil and ours is good.

You're not too bright are you.

[Kit the Coyote]

Something that comparisons of the Berlin wall and Gazza barriers keep forgetting besides from the differences in the numbers and type of people trying to cross them is they had armies, not just civil border guards with, despite Isreali claims otherwise, shoot to kill ROEs in place. The Berlin wall, in particular, had landmines in between its inner and outer walls.

 

[Ktoyou]

Why would anyone not want a wall?

Here is an example of the horror stories being told about women's trips to the border:

Well, there are fragments of the story, which we were able to gather as we traveled along the U.S.-Mexico border. We, for example, visited a shelter in northern Mexico - in Nogales, Sonora, the Mexican state of Sonora - where one woman said her entire trip north was effectively a sexual assault. She was brought across the border by a man under false pretenses, taken to the city of Atlanta and, she says, used as a prostitute for years. Now, she's back in northern Mexico. That's where we found her.​

https://www.npr.org/2014/03/23/2934...ies-of-sexual-assault-against-female-migrants​

If a wall is built all of this abuse of women and children at the border will cease overnight!

Would just one person answer the following question for me?:

What is so bad about a wall when compared to all the evil which is resulting from the lack of a wall?

I do not see a wall changing part of a dysfunctional social system. these women need to say away from this kind of thing in the first place.

 

[Ktoyou]

You are all being a bit silly. This wall idea is stupid and a waste of money. Already some farmers are upset not having enough Mexican pickers, and this is without a complete wall.

Stop fixating in individual differences on the left and make Latins want to live here have to learn English, and conservatives stop hiding your bigoted streak n]by saying they are taking our jobs. We have very high employment and there are jobs needing to be done that the US citizens will not do
