Poor old katzgutz. He must be pushing 70 at least by now. Maybe that line is all he can remember.

Every place we send our military to destabilize and fuck things up for the benefit of our Wall Street/donor/"job creator" class? All Cuba or any Latin/South American nation did to get on America’s frenetic “socialist/communist” list was to toss out US corporations so they couldn’t do there to their people what they do here to ours. Good for them.
The most well-known historical example is the Great Wall of China, which is a more than 5000-mile-long fortification built over hundreds of years by multiple dynasties to protect China from the invading marauders from the Mongolian steppes. By comparison, the border between the U.S. and Mexico is only some 2000 miles long.

What about today? The primary example of a successful wall is the one that protects the borders of Israel. The most controversial part of it was built in the West Bank between 2000 and 2003 after PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat turned down the offer of a Palestinian state and initiated the Second Intifada against Israel.
The wall is about 300 miles long, or 15% of the length of border between Mexico and the U.S. It cost around $2 billion to construct.

The Berlin Wall was a guarded concrete barrier that physically divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989. Constructed by the German Democratic Republic, starting on 13 August 1961, the Wall cut off West Berlin from virtually all of surrounding East Germany and East Berlin until government officials opened it in November 1989.
Before the Wall's erection, 3.5 million East Germans circumvented Eastern Bloc emigration restrictions and defected from the GDR, many by crossing over the border from East Berlin into West Berlin; from there they could then travel to West Germany and to other Western European countries. Between 1961 and 1989 the Wall prevented almost all such emigration.

Estimates are that some 5,000 East berliners made it through the wall to the West
Is that so, grandpa? So in 28 years, fewer than 200 people a year made it over/under the wall. Sounds acceptable to me.
You are are not even up the level of simpleton.
Is that right, grandpa? How many centuries did it take for a Mongol ARMY to breach the wall?

"the fence is no longer considered a major factor in preventing suicide bombings as a terrorist have found ways around it"
Is that so, grandpa? "A terrorist have (sic) found ways around it?" As in ONE?
Who told you that?
I just hope whatever old folks home he is in locks the doors.

Very true. Do you lock your car and home when you are away?
What makes you think he owns either?
HA!
According to grandpa katzgutz, walls don't work, so he may be at large right now, Cap'n.
