    Nice assumption. Hope it works better than a firewall. Hey maybe we should build the wall out of fire! :)

          Well if you do any reading you will note that wall was to keep people in, against their will. This wall is to keep people out. It's the same as you see in any subdivision.

          Before that there was another wall built called a Great Wall, can still be seen today. It did not stop the agressors, only slowed them down and forced them to learn more.

          Actually that wall was quite effective. Read here "The Great Wall offers excellent defence since it had been built in strategic places. It played an vital role then. There were many instances in ancient times that it took a very long time to take a city or mountain pass. And even cases that those who launched the attack had to retreat without a fight, for they saw the strong defence work of the city. In the Central Plain of China such firm and high defence work proved to be very useful to foil the attacks of mobile cavalry, which roamed from one place to another. As a result of Ming Dynasty's continuous construction and improvement,the Great Wall became a perfect defence network, whereby the central Chinese authority could, by means of various administrative and military levels of organization, reach the basic or grass root military unit, down to each soldier guarding the Great Wall. " A wall will not keep any military aggressors out, but it will keep criminals out. It may not stop 100%, but if it stops even 50% it will be well worth it.

          That's a hell of a distinction. Do you think walls to keep things out have some magical property that make them more effective than walls to keep things in? Please tell us how that works.

            Nothing. Every country has the obligation of protecting it's borders. And it is good that americans do that. But the attitude among a racist minority goes beyond that. The kind of discourse I see here in the Soapbox looks like an American version of Francois-Marie Le Pen and it's Front Nationale. At a close look, no one is normal.

              The most racist people I ever met was French. They are the most anti-semitic people by far. They are still defacing Jewish graves in that country. We had some soccer players from France, and they always talked how they hated Jews. They never took showers either and after pratice smell relly bad, but that goes without saying.

                    Funny, I never heard anyone say anything bad about The Mexican people. Can you point to a thread? All I heard was bad-mouthing illegals, which of course, is ok. My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

                        No, the distinction that was made is a moral one. Do you want me to explain that to you? My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

                                    I see... "lazy" because they didn't have to struggle to get here. The problem is that to remain here, they need money. And unless they have lots of that, they have to get their butts working.

                                      No, the distinction that was made is a moral one. Do you want me to explain that to you? My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

                                      So morality is going to stop people crossing the border? People are going to get to the fence and see the error of their ways? I think JCs point (and JC can feel free to correct me here) was that walls don't work, not that they are immoral.

                                        I see... "lazy" because they didn't have to struggle to get here. The problem is that to remain here, they need money. And unless they have lots of that, they have to get their butts working.

                                        OK... I know a man *cough* who drove over the speed limit this morning and was never caught. Is he a criminal? :rolleyes:

                                        Well by definition, yes. But I would not put going over the speed limit on the same level as tresspassing. My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"
