When a dog does something out of line you reprimand it fast and firmly (swift kick in the guts usually works), no difference in my mind.

I do understand Jerry's point

There's a lot of different ways to consider the issues he raises. I don't know that fortifying your community is the solution though. PP do you think it's the best solution to dealing with the issue...do you feel you need to do it to feel safe?

Look I don't know if building a fence or a wall is the best or the safest way to handle the situation, but at least something is being done. If there is a better solution, then it needs to be brought to the attention of our Gov so a change in the right direction can be made. Complaining about the way they are handling one matter or another, without a viable solution is just wasting one's breath. Any move in a positive direction to resolve a problem is better than doing nothing at all. What comes to mind in this matter is exactly what happened to the Jews for taking the passive approach when Hitler was trying to exterminate them from the face of the Earth.

Listen I don't come in here to piss in anyones weaties, but some peoples views just amaze the hell out of me. I love our country for the life it allows for each of us and the opportunities it provides because of the patriots, and heros who lead the way and gave us what we have today. I'll be dammed if I am going to sit by and watch it crumble because we have become to weak to protect our own borders because we may offend some visitors sensibillities. Our country has always stood its ground and fought for the right to decide how we were going to do things our own way without letting anyone else interfer with our plans. I have lived in many different countries around the world and although some of them are doing pretty well compared to the rest of the planet there are very few places outside of the USA that I would consider retiring. If you really think our Gov is screwed up try living in Mexico, Perto Rico, Maylasia, or some of the other poor countries around teh globe. We have it good, but we have to do a better job of protecting it.

I feel safer here in Perth than if I were in Arizona. The large mass of water around us ,PBO, is much like a wall or barrier of sorts. I consider the influx of illegals in Arizona may well be the same as all Australia if it had a wall. So yes, I would feel better to build a wall, if I were there.
