Honestly, PN, trying to save people from shortening their lifespan by accidentally consuming fecal matter during intercourse is pretty similar to trying to save people from shortening their lifespan due to smoking cigarette crap, drinking alcohol crap, or eating fast food crap.
People are gonna do so, and stopping them from doing so would require the kind of powerful controlling entity you'd probably be opposed to.

I never have used the new site so I was unaware of my new avatar. I do like it though. I may not be attracted to those of the opposite sex but you'd have to be blind not to notice Sean Maher is an attractive man. While not as hansom as Sean I do have a keen fashion and interior decorating sense that might make me fit in well with the Gays. Now i understand why some were taking me more seriously than usual and why Kwicko was more the usually attracted to me. I think I'll keep my new avatar for now but if I start getting virtual hugs from Liberals its got to go.

Cain's example, the Great Wall of China, DID work, against ARMIES, at least. But for several reasons. It is tall, but it's also THICK. It's low tech, cheap, and made of ROCKS. So it's heavy, and tunneling under it would have been risky, because of the danger of cave-ins. It also had guards garrisoned on it, and rapid communication by signal fires. A steel barrier 20 feet high and only 12 inches thick, unsupervised and abandoned in the wilderness, ain't gonna do it.

I mentioned it because Kirkules brought up social conservatives, was just trying to tweak him a little.

Ah. Selective editing again, Niki?
You left out part of Mr. Cain's quote, since it kind'a indicates he WAS joking.
“We’ve got to secure the border. Truly secure it. I had a caller one night call in: ‘Mr. Cain, you conservatives have got to stop this talk about building a fence.’ I said, Why? ‘You know that is impractical.’ Oh really? I think I had just got back from China, and I went to the Great Wall of China. They built a wall; I think with today’s technology we can build a fence. And if they were to put me in charge of the fence, I know we’d build a fence. Somebody asked me, well, what kind of fence would you build? I tell you, it would be a combination of technology and a real fence. It would be about 20 feet high. It would have electrified barbed wire on the top."
You left out the next bit.
"And on this side of it, it would have a moat the depth of a football field. And yes, Mr. President, it would have alligators in it.”

Or suggested Slave Owners should have used steam boilers to electrify theirs, and then when he threw a hissy (or, being yanno, practially a shill for the Ku Klux Gop, tried to pretend to not be black), someone could rag on him for not having a sense of humor...
But then again, maybe he does have a fine sense of humor and actually appreciates the dramatic irony of working directly for a political party who'd like to strip women and minorities of their rights and get back to the "good old days" and "conservative values" of when only rich white men had rights at all.
Or maybe he's just fucking stupid.

What makes you think he was joking?
He's also flat-out said he wants an electrified fence with signs on it saying "This fence will kill you."
Odd sense of humor y'all have.

If he is not kidding I might vote for him, a moat with alligators would be cool as fuck!
