Debate: Borders

This blog has been accused of trivia, even froth. The phrase 'shallow as a puddle' has been used. We refute this. Utterly. And to prove our point, we are offering a serious subject for this weekend's debate.

Should national borders be abolished? Please give reasons for your answer.

Shallow as a puddle, indeed. Bah.

As a really crude general rule, I assume that as organisations get bigger, they get less (socially) efficient, less friendly. Nations without borders - an interesting concept - would call for some kind of mega/meta/macro organisation/s for enforcing the law (assuming there are laws to enforce) (see how ideologically constrained my thinking has become). I would have no faith in such an organisation/s to work (communicate) effectively across the globe. Thus, no. Keep borders.
