When are we going to get rid of these borders already? (60)

There's always this or that tribe or gang arguing over where exactly the border between Dirtfarmia and Industrial-Factorystan lies, the Glorious Democratic People's Republic of Bureaucratic Corruption keeps trying to tie up in red tape any attempts by "its" citizens to emigrate to areas not suffering mass starvation, and vigilantes in Shariaville like to vandalize resident Internet backbone servers to protect everyone's virtue from the decadent infidels the next sand dune over.

When are we going to get our one world government so we can move on past this juvenile bullshit?

Yeah, pretty much. We could solve a lot of humanitarian crises by encouraging more flexible immigration of people. I mean we send humanitarian aid to places like Nepal and Somalia, and we think it's justified, but we never try to justify why people are living in such shit places to begin with.

OP here, and to speak seriously this time, while Nepalese and Somalians may live in shitholes, there's always a sort of sentiment for one's home town. Hell, the city of Pripyat was evacuated due to fallout from Chernobyl, and people are still squatting there because it's their home. I sure as hell won't stop a third-worlder from leaving for greener pastures, but I'm also keen on helping his neighbors live just a little easier.

I mainly see the New World Order as beneficial because it would be powerful enough make free medicine and education available worldwide. Also, it would cut down on (although I'm not enough of a dreamer to believe it would eliminate) war, because whenever a bunch of people form an army and start a fight, they're starting it with the rest of the planet.

Not to mention that areas are usually 'shit' because of their political and socioeconomic situation more so than any intrinsic quality of the land. Some of the places with the shittiest land from an agricultural perspective, such as Arabia and parts of the American Southwest, are among the richest in the world. The exact opposite is true around China's various rivers and the Ganges Delta in Bangladesh.

The NWO wouldn't work out for at least one simple reason: religion. Faith is thicker than water, and sometimes blood as well. If you'll accept an Islamic World Order then maybe we can talk. (Supposedly, there are people actively working toward such, but it might just be bigoted conspiracy bullshit)

It is wrong for a developped country with just a few million people to open it's borders to a country of 100s of millions where 95% of the population lives in medieval conditions. Especially if the poorer country does little to prevent overpopulation, prevent crime and indoctrinates it's minions to believe tyrannical ideals.

I don't think unifying the world is possible under happy circumstances. The other way it's possible, well, is kind of gruesome.

Yeah I know those mud people be crazy, right?

Seriously, if there's anything crazier than a One World Government coming to be, it's what you just spewed out.

Just tear gas. Lots and lots and lots of tear gas. The soldiers have to change out the charcoal in their gasmasks eventually, and no standalone country has enough gasmasks for everyone.

I do not view them as mud people. There is nothing crazy about what I just said.

You're afraid of brown folk because you fear they'll take the good jobs you feel entitled to despite being semiliterate. Go get some adult education and stop being a drain on the country.

I am glad you are interested in me, but I believe that you should get your facts straight.

I am not afraid of people with brown skin tones, since I myself and members of my family have such skin tones this would be absurd. I do not have any strong emotions concerning competition in the job market, I fail to see the relevance of the skin tones of people I compete with in the job market and I currently do not compete in the job market since I run my own business. I am already in adult education, I am in contact with my university alumni and occasionally peer review thesis' that garner my interest, I also regularly keep up to date with the latest changes in the market and technology. I am only a drain on the country in the most ambiguous definition of the phrase, I will be working this easter instead of not going on holiday and most of my wealth is tied up in stocks so I have made a net contribution to the economy discluding my student debts which I have nearly repaid.

Yeah, let's allow anyone who wants to move to a first world country just pack up and go. Because poor countries will be improved when all their doctors, inventors, professionals, and skilled tradesmen move to a richer country to make an extra buck.

Foreign aid needs to be cut off too: http://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/0,1518,363663,00.html

In this article, a Kenyan economist explains how foreign aid has destroyed African economies.

I love these cute and cuddly political opinions. It's like a window into naivite that I will never be defenestrated into.
