I'm anti-bloodshead. That's why when people say how great it would be to have a world without borders, I think that's not a good goal to have. The cost in human lives to obtain it would be too great, and it would be too oppressive.
Aparently, these ideas make me a republican duche. diadem fucked around with this message on 09-18-2005 at 09:54 AM.
but hey don't let this stop the way of what is bound to be another amazing political debate

From the book of diadem, chapter 3, verse 16:
I'm anti-war. That's why I didn't want to take our troops out of Iraq and leave a vacuum of power.I'm anti-bloodshead.

I thought that the Iraq war was a terrible idea too, but pulling out now would just make the whole thing worse, so you can't be too Republican there if even I agree with you. 
The second point is somewhat complex. Look at how much blood was shed in the west alone to gain what we today consider fundamental human rights. Also a world without borders doesn't have to be a sudden development, it could be achieved throughout a gradual process of political and economic integration over 50-60 years. Of course if today, in a world in which most countries are fortresses that refuse to let you in or out, you just abolished borders it would be chaos since there are too many people around that have wanted to move all their lives but couldn't.

As a concept, I don't see it ever working as it ignores the simple fact that humans are territorial by nature.

Stupidity, and he's not doing a very good job of it.
It's not something people hear about.
