. “China tried (built a wall) and it didn’t work.”

Is this a joke? China built a VERY effective wall that kept the animals at bay for hundreds of years.

Jose obviously possesses a fine USA G-12 education.

That was my stumbling block as well. From what I understand, China’s wall was pretty dang effective.

And yeah, definitely, build the wall to the north of them and call it a day. This march was so full of buffoons it makes be sick.

See tag.

No, it didn’t. All it did was make my people ride around the ends. The most it ever did was stop local banditry. It never, ever stopped a large invading force - or, for that matter, a smaller, determined one.

And we dislike being called animals, thank you.

And, by the way, I’m not saying that we shoudn’t build the wall, just saying that the Great Wall wasn’t successful in its stated aim.

It did something else spectacularly well, but that’s a topic for another time.
