Anyone else long for the day when we can abolish borders altogether?

It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.

One way or another... Whether it be an American, British, German, Russian, or Chinese empire, Islamic Caliphate, UN-governed world federation (least likely, I know...)... Once it's one system, it can be tweaked.

Re: There are some nice ones...
What's the point of this thread?
I've met plenty of 'nice' Christians, and Muslims, and Jews, and Hindus, and Atheists, and Agnostics, and Pagans, etc. etc. Maybe you hang out with the wrong sort of people.
However, just because they are nice doesn't mean that I have to agree with any of them, or admit that they possess the only 'truth', or worship the only 'god/s'.
Dum spiro spero
A great many people think they are thinking when they are really rearranging their prejudices.

Re: There are some nice ones...
I'd say this thread had triumphantly made its point.
You can like it or not, and I don't presume for a moment to know what Jesus would do in any situation, but I reckon Maryada Vallet is on the money. I don't remember reading Jesus saying Help the poor (so long as they have a green card). As matter of fact, when Jesus said love thy neighbour, and he was asked who is my neighbour, i seem to remember he answered with a parable about a member of a despised neighbouring race (its the Good Samaritan, for those who weren't paying attention in RE).
Its not my border and its not my faith but IMHO she is living what it tells her in the bible to do and fair play to her. And some people want her arrested and punished. Hmm, now let me think, who is Christ and who are the Roman soldiers in this little story...
