Why does the very thought of this strike terror in the hearts of so many?

A lack of identity.

Racism.

Insecurities.

One World Government, or no government?

And before it's mentioned, I'm not talking about the Marxist ideal of a one world government. I'm talking about a world based on free market principles where the only function of (non-local) government is to provide for a system of Justice.

Is this a world where the free market decides what is money, such as gold for example? If so, that would be interesting to see.

Honestly I've never given this much thought. I feel that languages and culture can create so many walls that I don't see it probable.

Utopia is about as realistic as Arnold starring as the lead role in Conan 3.

Doesn't mean it's not worthy of discussion

This "World without borders"...

Are we going with Sharia law?

Are we basing the legal framework on Oriental, Arabic, European, or what?

Religious freedoms in the tradition of Saudi Arabia, Israel, Europe, or the United States?

The world is 'smaller' now than it was even 25 years ago.
Yet, there are still cultural, moral, philosophical, legal, and religious differences that make it more realistic to have separate, distinct countries.
We are not at the point where 'we can all just get along.

We are, however, at the point where it is mostly viable to respectfully say 'you have your beliefs, and your corner of the world - I'll have my beliefs, and my corner of the world. And those things we have in common, we can trade between us based on those commonalities'

Is the path towards a world without borders morally progressive? Humanity maturing? If there were no borders, would "civil war" even exist? Borders cut into various shapes to make nations by European powers throughout the world has resulted in different people fighting senselessly, I find.

I think human beings rather enjoy identifying/classifying and separating themselves into groups. It's probably human nature, a means to survive.

That makes utterly no sense. And also speaks volumes for what the probable IQ of the UK is.

Because you are ignorantly assuming that everyone in the U.S. is stupid.

aka trolling

This, but also his sentence."If the world mixed with the US the IQ of the world would fall dramatically". You do realise that the US is already part of the world, don't you LF? And that there isn't a measure for the 'IQ of rest of world minus US'.

Not everyone, but certainly the vast majority.

Largely the same, it isn't hard to cross any borders illegally as it is now... Countries are too big.

This.

Also, sovereignty is the only guarantee of civil liberties. Without a strong government to protect your rights, life becomes a simple Darwinian affair of whoever has the most resources and weapons.
