    Even animals patrol and defend their territory. Why should human be any different? If anything else, borders are an improvement over constant skirmishes and raids where two different ethnic groups meet.

    EDIT: Interesting how you completely ignored the “Borders are a solution to constant ethnic clashes” part of my comment

      The reason ethnic clashes are happening in the first place, is because there was not enough intermingling between neighbors, in big part because people like you thought humans aren’t smarter then animals and should be separated.

        Humans aren’t smarter than animals because we are animals. We’re also not smarter than non-human animals either, as evidenced by our self-destructive behavior.

                  You know what I was typing up a whole argument about how the “if you are self-destrucive you are dumb and therefore an animal” logic is flawed but then I remembered I am on the internet and get to do this fun thing instead:

                    On top of it, you’re functionally illiterate, cool.

                    At no point did I state being an animal is a consequence of lack of intellect or of an action – go back to school, you clearly need it.

      Animals kill and eat their young. They roll or eat shit. They rape. You sure that’s the argument you want to use here?

      Interesting how you ignore the reality of constant ethnic clashes and raids inside the borders of many african nations and also across borders e.g. Armenia vs Azerbaijan, Kosovo vs Serbia, Russia vs Ukraine or… Palestine vs Israel.

      “animals do it why shouldn’t we” is one of the worst reasons to do something. Animals are literally dumber than us.
