If you smell Communism here, then you didn't get the message.  I hate Communism.

are you GunSlinger? besides  I understand completely the point you were making; hey who hasn't heard Bob Marleys song "War"?  I fully understand though that what separates us "Humans" is we tend to forget that we are all animals... monkeys that shaved their faces. Being "human" is all in our minds! we tell ourselves in the Christian tradition that we were made in the image of God & given domain "over" the animals!! Way to remove us out of nature.. lol.... Perceptions / Languages / Cultures & Traditions that's the curse of "Humanity". We domesticated our selves.. then dogs..

I disagree. We need differences that are irrelevant such as color and religion so we may realize that deep down we are all the same.

So?  I don't say eliminate those differences, just don't make an issue of them.

You have to make an issue out of them, it is called pride. Every nation has a certain heritage that they wish to preserve and that brings us culture and diversity as a species. I do not want to act like country "x" because I am not an "x'ian" , I am American. Just about every countryman thinks his nation is the best and that is acceptable behavior because it brings a comeradery, a sense of team. I disagree with One Worldism because humans as a species will always find a difference. An Aussie will think Australia is great, a Frenchman will always have a passion for France and a Cuban will continue to escape and flee to Florida. I go toe to toe with just about everyone in here but I have more respect for a man who believes his nation is great and defends it than one who sells it out.

On the other hand, I don't believe in pushing your culture on another. Even worse, the poloticians who strive to create laws that  embrace and protect their practices. Can't say Merry Christmas because it offends Muslims. Fuck them. And before someone gang rapes me with a post about what the U.S. is doing by pushing cultural reform in Iraq, I disagree with that too. I know its wrong, but these people over there say death to the west waaaay before we started sticking our nose in their backyard. They want us dead just because we have freedoms that they think are filthy. Like the guy who off'd his two daughters because they are to "Westernized". Fuck him too and all who feel that way. Let those cave men live the way they want and leave them alone, but they had best stop fucking with us in return. Everyone does wrong and I dislike it too when the U.S. does our shennanigans but I am American and I fought along the side of other Americans to preserve my country and will not feel guilty about who I am and where I come from. I am fucking proud to be a citizen of the United States of America.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear in the OP.  I don't advocate the elimination of borders and cultural differences.  I like the diversity this planet has.  I just think everyone should be happy because of the things his/her country has to offer, not for the failures of others.
