Who said all?LawBeefaroni wrote:You seem to believe that building a wall will stop crime and the drug and arms trades.

Are you not interested in saving these people from being killed by our evil guns or for the evil money we send across to feed our drug habits? Do you hate the Mexicans?hepcat wrote:The Panama Canal generated billions upon billions in economic activity simply by existing. A border fence does not. Unless Trump intends to build hotels on top of it, it's a giant friggin' albatross around our economy's neck.
Some people, the crazy people maybe, are of the opinion that building a wall will not stop all crime and drugs. As such, it is just a $50B+ boondoggle. Not that it's ever going to happen. Even if he gets elected Trump won't build it. Well, the $50B boondoggle might happen but the wall won't.
Sure it is but building 1 mile of Canal was harder than building 100 miles of fence. Especially given the technology improvements since the canal was built.GreenGoo wrote:Why not compare it to landing on the moon or the hoover dam while you're at it. The canal is less than 50 miles long. The wall would be closer to 2000 miles.Rip wrote:Meh, I'm pretty sure the nation that built the Panama Canal can handle it.Moliere wrote:Rip wrote:So you don't think something that would drastically reduce the flow of drugs, guns, and the money from such things across the border would be a good thing? For both countries?
Are you referring to The Wall? Have you seen the problems with building a complete wall across the entire border? It's not going to be built. It will cost too much, a shit load of land would need to be confiscated, er I mean eminent domained, and a lot of the border doesn't have the infrastructure to support that kind of construction project. This is a political gambit to win the election.
Couldn't possibly cost any more and do any less than healthcare reform has done. The price-tag on that one is already passing up $1T.
If anyone knows healthcare isn't free, it's you Rip. Why would you suggest it should be cheap?
Those folks are long dead. We can't even build a website. We should probably get Mexico to build it.Rip wrote:Meh, I'm pretty sure the nation that built the Panama Canal can handle it.
Wait aaah minute here. Fence?! We were promised a god damn Wall. You trying to sell us a FENCE now? Get the fuck outa here.Rip wrote:Sure it is but building 1 mile of Canal was harder than building 100 miles of fence. Especially given the technology improvements since the canal was built.
U.S. citizens were used sparingly in Panama because they were both disease-prone and demanded higher wages.
Unless we've invented magic, I'm not sure what improvements you're talking about. Magic like a complete disregard for cost effectiveness and reality based expectations, combined with a child-like belief in 11 million boogeymen.Rip wrote:

You do realize that the left is almost always blamed by the right for wanting to reduce military spending, right?em2nought wrote:It's funny to hear the left arguing against spending money. I wish they argued a bit stronger against military spending, seeing as how the Department of Defense can't account for $6.5 trillion from just last year alone.
Of course I do, but y'all's game must be weak in that area. Leave the guns to civilians, take some from the military. They probably just lost them or left them in Iraq anyway apparently since they can't account for $6.5 trillion. Let me try that with the IRS.hepcat wrote:You do realize that the left is almost always blamed by the right for wanting to reduce military spending, right?
Cool, maybe that can be one of the things the ones who are here illegally can do to earn citizenship.Holman wrote:Most workers building the Panama Canal were from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, or Central America.

If you want to believe that ok, but if so it is our boondoggle to make. The left got the healthcare boondoggle, which will turn into god knows how much when it inevitably turns into single payer. They should be happy that the right chose one as cheap as the wall would be.GreenGoo wrote:Unless we've invented magic, I'm not sure what improvements you're talking about.

It's gonna be built out of giant human sized hamster wheels so that as "they" try to climb it will generate electricity for the bases of all the troops pulled out of Europe and reassigned to the border.Skinypupy wrote:I'm curious what Trump's definition of "it will work" would be.

The reality is that people don't oppose it because it wouldn't work and would waste money. They oppose it because it would work.
Otherwise the smart thing to do would be to say it wouldn't work but you are going to do it just so the right can show what dumb-asses they are. But they are hell bent on not doing that because of how afraid they are that it would work. Which destroy the illusion they have built up in their own heads that they know everything.
Wow, I usually don't make fun of Rip but this post is so out of touch with reality that I wonder if Rip actually lives in an alternate dimension, but somehow manages to communicate with us as if he's in our dimension? It's one possible explanation.Rip wrote:If you want to believe that ok, but if so it is our boondoggle to make.

Actually I'm pretty sure taco trucks are more of an American thing. In all of my forays across the border I've never seen one. Taco stands are a lot more ubiquitous.Zaxxon wrote:Elect Trump, or you may end up in the horrible, terrible, no-good, very bad situation of a taco truck on every corner.
