The dissapearance of national borders is the only possible way of the future. Every other option will be chaos and disorder. While looking at the past its highly visible that this IS the way of the world. "Nations" gather and melt into each other. From hundredthousands of little tribes thousands of years ago, over thousands of kingdoms hundrets of years ago, to hundrets of nations in the present. Watch the states of Europe growing to an alliance while Im writing this. End. |

A world government would necessarily be a tyranny because some groups would be forced to comply with the norms and values of other groups. It's no different than the US and its cultural imperialism campaign to bring abortion and gay sex to all the nations on earth. |

There are different value systems all across the world, and these value systems are often mutually exclusive. It's really simple, but stupid sheep can't seem to understand this fact.

Or maybe one of these aluminum-hats to prevent your brain from beeing spied by the US military? Or all of that? If the US "cultural imperialism campaign" would intend to bring abortion and gay sex to all the nations on earth, that would be a honorable act. And if you are frightened about all the gays and abortions, take comfort in the fact, that gays rarely abort. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 53997376 United States 06/30/2014 09:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm a classic movie (including silent) buff and I love Chaplin's films but not too keen on his politics. I don't consider him a communist or anything like that but he was an idealist and a bit naïve methinks. I think he truly desired the best for people in general. He would probably be disillusioned with Socialism if he was still alive. |

Profit is what you do when you sell something for more than you paid for it. Prophet is a religious person who can see the future. He was neither; just a fool like so many others before and after him. There is no utopia never has been never will be. you can clap all you want but is just pure BS spewed by Hollywood's POS just like today. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 53997376 United States 06/30/2014 09:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I see myself as right wing idealist in the tradition of Jefferson. However, I am disillusioned with some elements of the right wing like the corporatists aka crony capitalists. They infest both parties and neither of them want to level the playing field so decent citizens can thrive and perhaps rise to office as true representatives of the people. Big money needs to be eliminated from politics. Everybody should have a shot to represent the people if that is there desire and for god's sake, Senator's and Representatives should not be making a living as our Representatives. They should not be receiving these outrageous salaries for what should be a part-time job. As for a world government, we are neither ready or able to do that right now. If we are ever ready, it will probably be thousands of years from now. We are too corrupt as human beings. Can you imagine all of the corruption in such a large govt. Corruption is bad enough now. Megalithic governments will only enable more chicanery. |
