Building a wall nowadays is one of the most stupid ideas to have.
1) It's ridiculous expensive, you will need thousands of miles and it has to be very high and very deep in the ground.
2) It will destroy the environment. Tons of animals that migrate north/south are messed up. Not to mention how stupid having a wall on your scenery looks.
3) Anyone can skip that wall. After expending billions to construct it you would need only a few thousand dollars to skip it because:
a) You can dig down and cross.
b) AIRPLANES. Yeah, you know, those flying things.
c) Boats. Oh surprise, the borders with US are not only by land.
d) Most illegal immigrants don't go around jumping walls or looking for weird ways to arrive. They arrive legally into the country and they just never leave. Like anybody could fly tomorrow to the US as tourists and stay there if he/she wanted.

In short. It is so ridiculous it goes to win the prize for most stupid demagogy promised of the century. So far.

They are getting ready to launch them, hold on...oh nvm we just heared someone shot them down before they got to launch, his name was...*Whispering "What was it?"* His name was Diapper, wait what?

Okay, I think the wall debate has ended. Now I can continue using this as my thread, if I've not jinxed it. Well, by "jinxed it" I mean encourange somebody to post about walls on the idea that it is funny. But then, nothing can be funny without also being boring or similarly unfunny all at once, such as nothing can be big without being small. Except size can be measured more precisely than humor, though the mind and the works of nature are two different studies of science, the first of which I yearn to study.

You know what I hate (other than tanks and turnfighting)? Stealth bombers. Most stealth bombers are pilots who want points, and are too scared to fly within sight of any enemies. Dishonorable, annoying, unfair. Thats what the tactic is, and that is how those who use it portray themselves. They are usually either noobs, or noobs that have gotten a bigger rank and better planes by stealth bombing a ton instead of actually playing the game as it is meant to be played. The new player, Darkness, seems to think it is awesome and cool, and is starting to SB (stealth bomb) already! Someone should teach him a valuable lesson and stop him.

Flying high or around the side is only dishonorable in lopsided games. If the game is full, with even teams, then it is sometimes nessasary to try a "sneak".

Whats with all these new players that all have names that are either meme or internet slang related. Or just a bunch of letters with the occasional vowel. All of them are as mature as 5 year olds and are always saying something dumb or innapropriate. Are we being invaded by steriotypical(ish) noobs? Is it just a coincidence, or is it something more... Sinister.

Argh. Last round I landed on the bridge, and asked people to shoot my plane (so I could enter my tank and try shooting the bridge with it). And there were plenty of enemies who could have easily shot me. Heck, they would even get points for it. And none did. I waited the entire match. This is absolute bullcrap. Did they all, simultaniously want to troll me? I mean cmon, inthis game, saying "please shoot me" is like saying "please take all 50 of this money and cake". Good grief.

I'm not even having a very good day in the first place. Today was a wonderful, sunny day, and I had to spend all of it, since I wome up, staring at one screen or another. Its days like these when you regret descisions you made or otherwise be sad about stuff of the past few days that you otherwise don't care about. Passing up the oppurtunity to get night vision goggles, as well as some antique swords and armor. Wasting a beautiful day. Darnit, I hate days like this.

On a different note, I want a kazoo to go with my dijoridoo. Also, while I do not live in a city, I imagine it can feel pretty lonely. I mean, on looks alone, I might sound wrong, but think about it. Pretty much everyone around you in a city is a total stranger, living their own life. I think it would be like observing the rest of the city from a glass cage, isolated from them, and yet seeing them everywhere, all the time. Sometimes it feels like that on this forum.

Sunny days aren't all they're cracked up to be. I'll take an overcast day over a sunny day anytime. The sun hurts my eyes and burns my skin, not a huge fan of either.

But seriously. Not only do the propellers spin as propellers should, they also rotate this way and that, like the earth spinning whilst rotating the sun. And while that double spinning works for us gravity-needing humans, it isn't a very efficient idea for moving a big, bomb-bearing balloon from A to B. I imagine the engineers who made the engines thought "Joe, I nearly got into astrology" "Really, Jim? What did ya learn?" "Well, the reason the Earth works so well is because it spins around as it spins around, spinning and turnin' in two different ways." "Well, what exactly does that do?" "It keeps us planted to the ground." "Then by gummit it aughta propel a big balloon!" "Good idea!" Then they were fired.

Heres a silly short story for yall: Once upon a moonlit night the refrigerator sat upon the windowsill, peering into the cabin with gleaming menace in it's oddly disproportionate nonexistent eyes. The cabin was lit by warm candlelight from within, as the young lumberjack within was afraid of the dark, contrary to what he bragged about to his friends and a top hat wearing shark. The refrigerator sits, patient, silent. Waiting for the time to strike, and planning it's actions. It's (lack of) eyes burned into the sleeping body. Slowly and deliriously the window was slid open ponderously by a handful of tiny hands, of of which were full of flaming flames that are lighting flaming flames on flaming fire. With an air of dejavu, the yonder pickup truck casts its enlightening gaze forwards, the light piercing the cold chilly night air. Finally, the truck manages to hail a taxi taxi, which then takes it to the home of past tense elephant nose hairs. Remembering that it was and will indeed cease to cease to be a yellow sunday month, the graceful crow starts its russian dancing ritual, whilst making it's morning-latenight brew of coffee made with coffee and a slight bit of coffee. A wrist watch opens wide, and swallows itself whole, whilst laughing at the stable, strong, and unstoppable fragility of the indestructible, undetectable cheeseburger that lurks in the timeless wifi cow stomachs. And thus ends my summary of the prevailing logic of humanity. Oh, have I mentioned gun violence yet?

Yup. Now, getting back to philosophy, I think any two people could be good friends, if the right train of events happened. And in a way, two very different people can connect easily. Its how magnets work. And I could apply that same logic to traits. Silly and serious are opposites that work well together like pb and j. I mean, I'm a student and teacher, a simple philosopher, and a calm manic person.

Thanksgiving is just a few hours away (currently. By the time you see this, it might not be that far away in the future or past). So, in the spirit of the holiday, who wants me to do a face reveal?

But then again, in a way, you already have seen my face. I have made a name for myself here, and shown you all my true light by my actions and words. For now you know my face as Yonder Tiger. As for my age, I'm sure there are different guesses out there. Its interesting how someone you have never seen in person can have just as much of a face and identity as someone you see every day. The Internet opens up so much oppurtunity for bad and good and community. And unlike the in-person world, this place doesn't close at night.

Heres some dialogue I came up with to point out the problem with ufos: "Hey, look, a UFO!" "How do you know it's a ufo?" "Well, it looks like one!" "But if it has been identified as a UFO, then it can't be a UFO!"
"Then what is it?" "I don't know." "So it must be a ufo!" "But it can't be a ufo if-" Well, you get the gist. I think that is how aliens would take over earth. First they would get everyone arguing and confusing themselves over whether or not a ufo is a ufo, then, while us humans babbled on, they would waltz right in and take over our government without us even noticing.
