This design would work if the boarder were all on a perfectly flat land, which it is not. How is this design ever going to work over mountain or when the boarder reaches the sea?

Ain't if funny how some LDS are against this wall, knowing (or perhaps not knowingly), that Captain Moroni did the exact same thing?

Re: First Look at the Awesome Design of Trump’s Border Wall
Im not necessarily against the wall, but if you believe the BOM took place in what is now the USA, then we should not build a wall
2 Nephi 1- focus on verse 6 specifically
5 But, said he, notwithstanding our afflictions, we have obtained a land of promise, a land which is choice above all other lands; a land which the Lord God hath covenanted with me should be a land for the inheritance of my seed. Yea, the Lord hath covenanted this land unto me, and to my children forever, and also all those who should be led out of other countries by the hand of the Lord.
6 Wherefore, I, Lehi, prophesy according to the workings of the Spirit which is in me, that there shall none come into this land save they shall be brought by the hand of the Lord.

Re: First Look at the Awesome Design of Trump’s Border Wall
I beg to differ. A lot of these refugees and immigrants are not behind brought here by the hand of the Lord. This land is the land of promise and those that live here must follow the commandments and acknowledge the Lord and our Heavenly Father. They are basically an cultural and economic invasion. I'm not saying some aren't but most are. They are not willing to adapt to western civilization and expect us to follow their traditions and religions.Dubs wrote: ↑December 29th, 2017, 9:24 pmIm not necessarily against the wall, but if you believe the BOM took place in what is now the USA, then we should not build a wall

Seems like a decent wall design but it looks like you can just walk through it. I hope they are also adding fencing or concrete on and inbetween those X shapes. I particularly like the solar panels and the tracks for fast mobilization to incident locations.

Re: First Look at the Awesome Design of Trump’s Border Wall
By quoting 2nd Nephi above, you're assuming, incorrectly, that the Lord would only ever bring righteous people to the land of promise. You can be assured of the magnitude of your error by remembering that Laman and Lemuel (characters who were active in the very book you've quoted) were brought to this land. The Lord certainly could bring and has brought evil people here to vex the unrighteous who have been so richly blessed.Sunain wrote: ↑December 30th, 2017, 3:29 pmI beg to differ.

Re: First Look at the Awesome Design of Trump’s Border Wall
No. You are now implying things. I never once stated or implied only righteous people would be lead here. We all have free agency and God loves his children (wicked or not). You dont understand God's full purpose or methods. You are either calling Lehi a false prophet or dont believe the land he was referring to is the USA...and that is acceptable.Silver wrote: ↑December 30th, 2017, 4:46 pmBy quoting 2nd Nephi above, you're assuming, incorrectly, that the Lord would only ever bring righteous people to the land of promise.

Hey, Dubs, I was responding to Sunain's post, not yours. My mistake. I thought Sunain misinterpreted the very scripture he quoted, not realizing that it was you who quoted it.Dubs wrote: ↑December 30th, 2017, 5:10 pmNo. You are now implying things.

Re: First Look at the Awesome Design of Trump’s Border Wall
That's one thing that makes this design so good as the top can gradually adjust over varying terrain. Holes can be drilled, where needed, like those used for utility poles. The actual height above the ground might range from 10 - 40 feet to limit the grade of the track.
I can see this become a light rail with long trains in populous areas, and it will be a great way to transverse scenic vistas over rough terrain. It could extend out into the sea by using materials resistant to salt water. May be a great way to board an ocean liner, etc.
It will revitalize the border, and it's on my list of places to visit next time I go stateside. Those that give up a small bit of property stand to greatly benefit as the area develops.

Re: First Look at the Awesome Design of Trump’s Border Wall
50 feet is the most common right-of-way for a railroad. Wider sections would better entice private developers to build segments by granting them exclusive concession rights at the train terminals. Mexico may get first shot at paying, or compete with US contractors.
Some sections are obviously more investment worthy now, but connecting cities will play a role i.e. Tucson to El Paso.
Mexico will no doubt want to attract tourists across the border, and stands to profit a great deal.

https://www.snopes.com/history/american/gauge.asp wrote: ... The United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches derives from the original specification for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Specifications and bureaucracies live forever. So the next time you are handed a specification and wonder what horse’s @#$ came up with it, you may be exactly right, because the Imperial Roman war chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of two war horses. Thus, we have the answer to the original question.
Now the twist to the story . . .

Their refusal to learn English is what bothers me most. 5+ languages are regularly spoken on Saipan and it’s a local law that all signs must include English text, at least as large as any other language.Sunain wrote: ↑December 30th, 2017, 3:29 pm

I’ve been to parts of SLC were nary a sign is in English.
Thick plexiglass is also bullet proof and may incorporate Radiative Sky Cooling to condense water so the the wall becomes a lush, even tropical, transportation corridor. The space between the sloping sides can also contain sensitive seismic sensors to prevent tunneling, and the plexiglas panels may slide open in case reinforcements are needed to quell any disturbances. The wall is mostly some distance from the actual border. Maybe Mexico would be interested in leasing some of the property on the south side of the wall to pay for it.http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/la-ca-cm-building-type-border-wall-20171231-htmlstory.html wrote:

Press coverage of this great design is lacking, as they choose to continue knocking the idea as unfeasible. Dude on Fox News, this morning stated “build a 15 foot wall, and they’ll simply use a 15 foot ladder”. What an idiot

Re: First Look at the Awesome Design of Trump’s Border Wall
There's the latest video from LDS WATCHMEN I was happy to see it features this awesome design that is much more than just a wall. None of the 8 contracted prototype wall segments even come close. This one is marked official by a build the wall organization, but others have uploaded it to their youtube channel. Hope it gets due consideration by Trump's team, etc.

No wall will keep in or out the people that were meant to be on this "land" wherever they may be and who have been around longer than those trying to keep them "out." If/when the wall goes up, it will last only as long as the Lord allows.
