    And then we'll put Kurt Russel inside and see if he can escape.

    I'm cool with Florida being on the other side as long as I get a ford falcon in black with about 50k in performance parts thrown into it.

    no, they'd obviously just call it Texas, since it was all part of Texas, prior to them joining the union. :p
    Only if I don't require a passport to visit my folks.

    I tend to try to avoid politics as much as possible since having a decent conversation seems to be nearly impossible anymore, also people are stupid... mainly the latter now that I think about it.

    This is a ballet I think all sides can agree on

    Am I to think that US has zero border control and no fences of any kind towards Mexico?

    Like, it's just a cleared 100 meter wide stretch with US poles on one side and Mexican poles on the other side every 100 meters or so and people can just walk over it?

    And now someone is proposing something resembling a border guard?

    And half the country is outraged by the idea and calling them Nazis?

    What the hell is going on?

    Thanks for all the congratulations!

    I did and the party was a blast. Also it looks like we were so well stocked that we've got our drinks covered for some time now, alcoholic, non-alcoholic, whatever. Already people are calling up and saying "hey I need some of that booze you've got left".
    Fuck them. My booze. I'll perform tsuki (TSKEEEEEEEEE!) through the throat of anyone that tries to enter the vicinity of my stash.

    The election time is a good applied psychology case study for how people denounce the little rationality they have left.

    "I'm going to give a person I think is going to be awful the mandate to rule over me and other people because your candidate stinks and you stink too!"

    Also seeing a lot of self confirmation and "I want to feel like I have a moral high ground so I'm just going to buy anything that is said about the other people" or even "I believe in democracy; you're not allowed to have wrong opinions".

    Yeah this happened at my sisters wedding. She was an events director at a local museum so so she knew all the people in town and used all her work discounts for her personal wedding. The local Jack Danial's rep brought five full cases of 1.25 gallon handles. People were trying to "claim" unopened cases since the wedding didn't need them. We ended up throwing several people out who couldn't grasp the fact while it was free at the bar, you don't get to pilfer stocks. We still have one of the cases unopened.

    There is a border patrol and I think all there is for fencing is a shitty thing.

    [​IMG]

    i mean what the fuck is that thing going to do? I think it is that most of the way. with a little better looking stuff at the actual legal crossing points.

    and apparently smugglers were trying this?

    okay. not sure how accurate this is.but
    also for information. The border between the United States and Mexico stretches 3,169 kilometers (1,969 miles)
