The idea of settling down freaks me out…
It does not make sense for some one to live and work and die between limited places.
This is like missing a whole life and living in a small box where all your interests, knowledge gets that small.
isolated…
How do people really plan to settle down for their future?! For me that sounds insane, the idea of boundaries is still not understood for me, I mean those boundaries and borders are first created by people like kings, empires or religious people who wanted to enrich their power by framing a place to be controlled…
Why do I have to live MY life according to those freaks ?!
It is really weird how the place you are born in determines a lot about you, like your religion, your future, your language, your thoughts, your views, your laws, your limits….
Humans are not meant to be limited that way, those boundaries hold the humanity back…
Maybe those borders help in applying the law but it can also be used in captivating freedoms and free will…
We humans need to be controlled… think about it, it is weird… it is shame…
That reminds me of John Lennon’s “imagine” …
Yeah.. it is easy if we try if we were more humane… that is all what we need to be.
and Yeah! I know… freaky romanticism… I am usually far from being that “romantic” but 2 panadol extra pills can bring it on ;)

Dania,
Nice reminder of the John Lennon and his song, Imagine, which actually talk about the subject you raise. Recently, on NPR in my area, there was an interview with Elon University communications professor Michael Frontani discusses his new book, "The Beatles: Image & the Media" (University Press of Mississippi/2007). Here is the link:

It is almost similar conclusion that media, authorities or ideas change when they find there is benefit from that. The Nationalist, in Syria, in sixties came to power to remove boarders between Arab states, however they did the opposite, since it did not serve the socialist ideas, but now as they are changing to capitalist, I think we will see your idea more valued by media, capitalists and authority, and they will try to reduce boarder control and open boarder for flow of merchandise.
BTW, they may not know that, and they might hate you for talking about that right now, even themselves have the seed to do what they are currently in opposition to.
Saint,
It is not that I am against borders because of Arabism thing which I don’t believe in any more, it is just this thing we are born in a limited place.. a country… with a lot of paper work and interviews to be able to leave… this is weird!
It is even more weird to think this way, I know …even stupid it would be if we suggested to remove boarders cause we are not complete humans yet, we need to be controlled, damn!…
Anyway, the idea you mentioned about “why nationalists stopped seeking open borders policy cause they don’t serve the socialist ideas” is so true, capitalism is some thing we are being long time a go btw and I don’t see any economical communism in here but in things that serve the profits of gov people not the country…
Capitalism means reduce border’s “closing” if we can put it this way, but still politics can be a setback for that goal.
P.S: I am not a capitalism fan.
Dania,
I share some of your conclusions. In fact, what you're saying is actually against the consensus view taken by many bloggers and not many people recognise this.
