     Because sovereign countries have the right to determine - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 6/20 09:44:38
          countries don't have rights, but governments, once in - 90Tiger MU - 6/20 10:35:43
          Sovereign countries don't have rights. Only people have - ummmm MU - 6/20 10:02:50
               People can form a country and set borders to exclude - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 6/20 10:18:45
                    You definitely do not believe the former. - ummmm MU - 6/20 10:23:29
                         I'm not against secession per se - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 6/20 10:28:48
                              Which secession is ok and which aren't? - pickle MU - 6/20 10:37:25
                                   I'm not against any really, but there will likely be - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 6/20 10:39:15
                                        So you've recently had a change of heart - pickle MU - 6/20 10:41:06
                              I suppose you support the US colonies secession from the - ummmm MU - 6/20 10:32:37
                                   Yes of course I support it though it isn't a "seccession" - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 6/20 10:36:34
                                        uh - 90Tiger MU - 6/20 10:57:54
                                        Why not? (nm) - ummmm MU - 6/20 10:38:45
                                        It was secession - pickle MU - 6/20 10:38:26
     People do not have the right to enter another territory - Spanky KU - 6/20 09:32:22
          Borders do not exist in nature. - ummmm MU - 6/20 10:04:25
               They absolutely do, they may not be called "borders" - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 6/20 10:20:15
                    Yes, men by nature are territorial. - ummmm MU - 6/20 10:24:02
                         nation states are part of the nature of man - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 6/20 10:29:54
                              that's incorrect (nm) - pickle MU - 6/20 10:38:59
                                   well maybe in Pickletopia - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 6/20 10:41:00
                                        clever (nm) - pickle MU - 6/20 10:51:03
                              How so? Just because they presently exist? (nm) - ummmm MU - 6/20 10:33:28
                                   not just presently (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 6/20 10:36:16
                                        The past thousand years? two thousand years? - ummmm MU - 6/20 10:39:19
                                             200,000 years and basically as soon as man was - 90Tiger MU - 6/20 10:50:49
                                                  Large nation states have not been around for 200,000 years. - ummmm MU - 6/20 10:55:49
                                                       the discussion wasn't just about "large" nation states - 90Tiger MU - 6/20 10:59:30
                                                            native Americans did not have nation states (nm) - pickle MU - 6/20 12:43:33
                                                            Every point I've made in this thread is about large nation - ummmm MU - 6/20 11:00:55
                                                                 every post not made by you wasn't referring solely to - 90Tiger MU - 6/20 11:06:48
                                                                      Generally speaking, yes, every post by me in this thread - ummmm MU - 6/20 11:08:05
                                                       he didn't say they were, he said man has been around for 200 - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 6/20 10:57:37
                                                            "not just presently" (nm) - ummmm MU - 6/20 11:01:22
                                                            moreover, i didn't refer to "large" nor did anyone else unti - 90Tiger MU - 6/20 11:01:16
                                                                 I referred to large nation states. That's the reality of - ummmm MU - 6/20 11:04:18
                                                                      today isn't the entirety of man's nature, which is the - 90Tiger MU - 6/20 11:08:23
                                                                           Yes, but the OP and this entire week has been about - ummmm MU - 6/20 11:17:03
                                             Man has banded together since the beginning of time - Spanky KU - 6/20 10:43:13
                                                  And for that matter, large populations of people currently - ummmm MU - 6/20 10:49:44
                                                  Again Spanky, we're talking about large nation-states - ummmm MU - 6/20 10:43:54
                                                       Pickle said we were NOT talking about nation states - Spanky KU - 6/20 11:16:26
                                   we really don't have that great of a sample size - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 6/20 10:34:45
                                        I disagree they are an inevitability, despite their present - ummmm MU - 6/20 10:43:25

                    Thanks. (nm) - ummmm MU - 6/20 10:12:21
               Borders DO exist in nature - Spanky KU - 6/20 10:10:21
                    Wait, are we talking about nation state borders or borders - ummmm MU - 6/20 10:11:24
                         Sorry.. From my response to the OP: - Spanky KU - 6/20 11:02:37
                              I think that's interesting - ummmm MU - 6/20 11:04:58
                         Quick quistion, If borders are made by people and that exist - tcat UMKC - 6/20 10:15:33
                              No. They do not exist in nature. - pickle MU - 6/20 10:24:18
