LOL i read the jist of that..... You honestly believe the U.S taking over mexico is the answerer? You honestly think Calderon will go for that?Let alone the world lol Should I remind you that they keep an ultra tight lock down on their southern border? By the way using your "super " word only shows the need you have to prove your intellect.

All I ask is you read and find out before judging. I'm not talking about opening the borders of the U.S., but expanding them so they are easier to defend by incorporating Mexico into the U.S. as 10+ new states after their people accept our invitation and dissolve their corrupt Mexican federal govt.
"Soon after the ... ( 8 months ago by heliotherapy)
"Soon after the defeat of nazi-ism the iron curtain was erected by the Soviet communist regime". I would have expected better from Britannica.
"Nazi-ism" - presumably meaning the government of the National Socialists - was over in 1945. The term 'iron curtain' was coined by Churchill in 1946. Nothing was erected by the Soviet regime except, indirectly, the Berlin Wall but that was in 1961.
And the collapse of ... ( 8 months ago by heliotherapy)
And the collapse of communism did not precede the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 - two years after the fall of the Wall - and a quarter of the world's population still lives with communism. Hardly a collapse.
It would be difficult to fit any more mistakes into a 43 sec clip.

For some one who has History in there user name you sure don't know much about it. The Berlin wall was splitting up a country. The Wall on the US border is dividing 2 countries. We are not making a wall to stop people in the eastern US from going to the western US. We are trying to stop ILLEGAL aliens from entering our country. See 1 wall stopped people from leaving the other stop people from coming in they are free to leave when ever they want.
A wall is a wall, ... ( 5 months ago by historyscoper)
A wall is a wall, barbed wire, spotlights, cameras, armed guards. Since the U.S. and Mexico should be one, the Brownsville Wall is also splitting up a country, it's all a matter of how you look at it. As for "illegal aliens", anything the govt. makes illegal they can make legal, that's why I'm advocating the govt. do it.

The city Berlin has ... ( 4 months ago by sneighwena)
The city Berlin has a Slavic not a German name. Think about Berlin how it is similar to the city of Lublin. It does not have a burg or other Germanic endings. I think it comes from an old Slavic word meaning bog or marsh. The slavic languages have words that sound like berl or brlog. Meaning fishing village or bog or swamp/meadow. The etymology of Brandenburg comes from Slavic brenna also meaning swamp. It is 100% Slavic not German, ironically.
