I take nothing at face value. I try not to take sides on an issue that I know nothing about.. and I certainly wouldn't regurgitate a bunch of propaganda without verifying it first.

and a fence is a dumbass idea because it doesn't work. It will only work if there are people there to stop people going around, underneath, or over the top of it. | |

1) If (eventually) the fence goes from ocean to ocean, how will you get around it. 2) If a fence is built, don't you think it will take less people to watch it? 3) If someone makes a hole in it, don't you think it would be easier to watch the new hole in the wall than covering thousands of miles of open territory? Logical thinking, foreigners learned it in school... can't we?

I've got 2 cousins (both in Iraq), another leaving for his first tour in Afghanistan this December, another cousin's husband has completely reenlisted to go for his 5th tour at the age of 28, half my friends I grew up with have been (serveral times), my grandfather served in the Marines and still wears his cover, my father in law was an F-15 pilot who flew most of his missions during Desert Storm, and my father searved as a Navy Gunner during the last few tid-bits of Vietnam. And my best friend growing up was an army sergeant who caught a bullet ricochet just under his left ear... and it only needed stiches. Even though have never served, I have a great pride for those who have and I am very greatful. Just thought I'd throw the rest of you here some props as well!

You seem to suggest that if it is not 100% effective it is worthless. Let me suggest that using that logic we should eliminate all criminal laws and punishments... people keep committing crimes so why bother making it harder to get away with it huh? Oh, ever heard of cameras? We don't need a sentry every 100 yards but a camera, motion sensors etc. Sure, it didn't always work - just very often. That's why they kept rebuilding it. So, yes, let's do take a lesson from history and note that walls make it harder for a person to get to the other side. | |
