Yes it's a great series and a wall that tall would be infeasible. Originally Posted by zlygork

The same height as the walls around the Vatican. Originally Posted by Amalaric

Can you do that in an actual measurement?
50 meters is not enough to stop the Giant Titan, so it should be at least 75, just to be safe.

Just give out the info that the majority of white americans are racists having posters of anime girls and Kekistan on their walls.
Btw if i see an american in a car accident i will build a wall around him so he can beg for the bananahaired man to come save him.

He needs to compensate for those small hands.
That means he has to go over 40 feet or admit the Pope's is bigger. No wire, solid rock or the Pope's is harder too!
Really, he'd might as well give up. His is going to measure up much shorter than the Chinese.
With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.

How tall was the wall in 300, where they used corpses? Because they'll have plenty with Trumpcare
Edit, there we go, about that tall:

Leave it as is, and do something that's actually useful, if you want to deal with illegals. Focus on active defense, not passive one. Walls have always failed.

Note that all three these walls were remarkably effective, despite the existence of ladders and shovels.
China is factually not in Mongolia.
The Vatican is factually not part of Italy.
The Berlin Wall stood until Reagan made Russia open the gate with just words.Last edited by Tijuana; 2017-07-01 at 03:07 PM.

No, they were not effective. People who wanted to get over and around them, pretty much did. Also, the very same thing that happened to Berlin wall will quite possibly happen to your American/Mexican wall. That wall is nothing but a symbol to racism, and an expensive one at that.

So, in your mind, the Great Wall of China didn't work? In your mind, the Berlin wall didn't work, and people just bypassed it daily? I don't even... Originally Posted by Santti

Saying you don't want the wall is fine. Saying walls don't do anything is engineering denial.
