Great Example of How Walls Don't Work

This should convince everybody why walls don't work.

This rather famous wall was unable to contain its population as it was meant to. It held up for a mere 28 years. What a joke! And everybody seemed to make such a big deal about it in its heyday.

What is wrong with you people!

The Berlin Wall kept 99.99% of everyone INSIDE for 30+ years. Anyone trying to get out was killed, with a couple of exceptions.

It worked just fine, until it was torn down. Landmines, machineguns thousands of guards, easily did the job. No one tried to break-in, IIRC.

What are you talking about.

There is nothing wrong with me but I do think this is going to be a fun thread.

I think you might need your sarcasm detector re-calibrated.

[GnuThere]

Uh...

[Carriage Hill]

Did I miss the sarcasm in that?
Sorry if I did.

There’s a difference between using a wall to keep people in (prison) and keep people out (self-protection and self-preservation).

[fruser1]

Yes, I deliberately omit the /s. Should be obvious, but...

Spotting sarcasm isn’t your strong suite.

I highly recommend you don’t read “A Modest Proposal”

History and leftist people are perverse. The left will tear down the American wall the next chance they are in power.

“Walls” are used all the time and very effectively. A wall is an obstacle like a natural obstruction like a river. People will avoid these areas for easier routes. This effectively funnels the the illegals to areas where they are easily picked up.

Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the parodied views.

Or if security funding is promised, it is easily defunded or the funds diverted. A physical barrier is harder to remove.

You’re right about that.

The keyword “sarcasm” WASN’T THERE, WHEN I ORIGINALLY POSTED.
Any other “recommendations”?

thanks for that video. Incredible. I wouldn’t even try walking it.
I walked the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City and I was in pretty good shape at the time and it damn near brought be to me knees.

the terrain the Wall is built on looks absolutely desolate and horrible and just the terrain alone would seem to keep people out.

Are you unable to differentiate a wall meant to imprison people and one to repel invaders?
