If the average brick Is 6" x 12" and the Canada/U.S border is 5250 miles long .....

And we build a wall 30 feet high. How many fucking bricks is that? I mean have people done the math on this? That's a lot of bricks. Plus Home Depot has 32 foot ladders.

For just one layer, which I think you'd need more, its 1,663,200,000 bricks. What, maybe 10 deep of those? to 16.6 billion bricks. I wonder if someone would get a discount for bulk. Are the bricks made in the US, or China?

Is this wall supposed to keep Canadians from entering America or to prevent Americans from fleeing to Canada if Trump is elected?

by **Robert J Sakimano** Mon Aug 31, 2015 1:37 pm

I don't think we're worried about white people from Canada coming in to pick our vegetables..

America should just be in it's own zombie apocalypse bunker. We can be paranoid and scared of everyone more efficiently.

There's currently a couple of black hockey players. It starts with a trickle.

Seriously, I know we'll joke about this, but really, have we become so fucking stupid in this country that these assholes can say shit like this and we just either start waiving the flag and saying "Im votin for him, he's gonna build a wall" or have we just got to the point we all know it's all bull shit but we just kind of tolerate it.

He should work on the 10% of frat boys who do that on our campuses.

it's ridiculous, of course - but it's the culture we live in. You can either get frustrated and annoyed by it, or you can find it entertaining.

I choose to find it entertaining and just kinda point and laugh at them.

No. Maybe. A little. Probably. Most definitely yes. I don't know.

by **Giant Moose** Mon Aug 31, 2015 1:49 pm

I we do build this wall, we should get nedgo to sit on it in a Humpty Dumpty costume. Occasionally he can fall off the wall and it would be hilarious.

that's a good point.. we could just prop him up at the border and I'm pretty sure nobody would want to come our country and be associated with that.

Now that would be irony. Build the bricks in Mexico to keep the canadians out of Merica.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** Mon Aug 31, 2015 1:53 pm

I've always wondered...in states like Montana and ND where huge borders are shared....are there like plots of land that span both borders? I mean most borders have some sort of natural barrier, so it's easy to make checkpoints. It would be cool if there were a red dotted line along the border, like in Bugs Bunny cartoons. There's not, is there? I really need to see this in person for myself so I can understand how it works.

I actually read some knuckledragger who said something like that. He'll take all the brown people - ask them to build the wall while being on the Mexico side of it.

And, to nobody's surprised - a bunch of knuckle-dragging white people started cheering. Running for the President of the United States has become like the WWE.

I think you could sort of roam the land.. and as soon as you step foot over into Canada, you lose access to Netflix, drop about 25 pounds and become less interested in the Jerry Springer Show.

that's how you know you're no longer in America. It's a pretty neat little trick.

by **Dr. Strangelove** Mon Aug 31, 2015 1:56 pm

I hate those frost backs too.

In reality the wall that will be built will be the type you see as sound barriers on the freeways.

Figure $200 per square meter. Make the fence 3 meters tall. You're looking at something like $600,000 a mile for fence.

Bonus is you don't have to fence off the entire border because rivers and lakes are great natural boundaries.

by **Robert J Sakimano** Mon Aug 31, 2015 2:06 pm

I'm concerned that the rivers and lakes aren't much of a deterrent, though. I mean, them boys can swim, ya know. So, I propose we run an electrical current through the bodies of water and make an electrified example out of the first few Juan's and Pablo's that decide the want to come to America.

Are you some kind of Canadian spy sent to infiltrate us?

Send those 16 billion bricks to the Mexican border. It's shorter so the wall can be built even higher
