I'm not sure that the same problems and solutions apply to the US-Mexican border.
Anyway, with all these new jobs, the US will have a dire need of more unskilled labour.

Re: Let's make Britain great again
Hadrian's Wall was built in 122 AD, which was 350 years before the commonly accepted date for the fall of the Western Roman Empire (the Eastern half persisted technically for another 1000 years after that). If the US has another 350 years, that would be quite reassuring.Śiva wrote:Hadrian's wall was literally the high water mark for the Roman empire.

Re: Let's make Britain great again
Not sure why you would think that, given your low opinion of Americans. Aren't Americans just not really good at much, and therefore perfect for unskilled labor? And, since we have no welfare state, they either have to take the unskilled jobs, or starve in the street, right?Scot Dutchy wrote:Americans wont take them on that's for sure.mistermack wrote:Hadrian's wall was actually pretty effective.

Re: Let's make Britain great again
If you find 350 years of financial decline, social collapse and upheaval, loss of security, civil war, divisions of state, and general chaos quite reassuring I'll say you're quite odd, but whatever floats your boat.Forty Two wrote:Hadrian's Wall was built in 122 AD, which was 350 years before the commonly accepted date for the fall of the Western Roman Empire (the Eastern half persisted technically for another 1000 years after that).

Re: Let's make Britain great again
Hadrians wall wasn't built to keep people out it also didn't mark any sort of national boundary .
If y'all must make comparisons then the Antonine wall would be a better one especially as it mostly wasn't actually a wall, just as Trump's wall is never going to be a wall .

Re: Let's make Britain great again
It's funny how the very same people who claim to support the poor and the working class have lost touch with them. They now look down on them from their elitist position whilst supporting the globalist, corporalist elite. With the exception of the STEM fields academia and the MSM needs to be burnt to the ground.mistermack wrote:You've got to give Farage credit.
He got us out of Europe, he was right all along that the people wanted out.
And he was right about Trump.
Maybe it's not luck. Maybe he knows what he's fucking talking about.
If you had asked David Cameron before the vote if Britain would vote for Brexit, and Trump would win the white house, he'd have laughed in your face. So what the fuck did HE know?
Imagine the odds you would have got at the bookies, for a double on those two results.
From now on, when Farage says something, I'm taking notice.

Re: Let's make Britain great again
FFS, you don't like Trump we get it. What constructive ideas do to propose to counter what you think a Trump administration would promote? What strategy do you propose to counter what you see as Trumpism? Or are we just going to have to put up with Trump is worse than Hitler herpy derp type retardedness for the next four or eight years?Scot Dutchy wrote:That what Trumpets are; odd.

Re: Let's make Britain great again
Both of them are defensive constructions, and they are part of several projects that became collectively known as the Limes. Originally they were called Munimentum Traiani, which translates as Trajan's Bulwark. It did not consist only of actual walls. Long stretches of the Danube were part of it. The word "limes" has many meanings, but they all have this in common: A limes is a line demarcating something from something else. In this case it is fair to say that "limes" means border, and the original appellation, Trajan's Bulwark, makes it clear enough that all the limes we are talking about here originally served as a defence of the Roman empire.Feck wrote:Hadrians wall wasn't built to keep people out it also didn't mark any sort of national boundary .

'Trumpism' is such a lefty/libtard thing to say. Trump isn't an -ism - he's a sanctified Saviour.
