Students everywhere, at all levels, from elementary school to colleges and universities, are being encouraged to think globally - to think of themselves as "world citizens,"
LOL who said this was a law?
I never read anything about a law just that we should be open to calling ourselves North Americans?
I'm Canadian... that makes me a North American... you are also a North American... It's simple geography.
There never will be a North American Union... maybe many years ago Canada thought about it but your economy is going down faster then a five dollar hooker. I highly doubt they would join it now. Strengthen trade is not a bad thing btw...

The world would be a better place if we all thought like this! Wouldn't Jesus think like this? Would Jesus consider himself different then someone else because of a flag or invisible border line?

You just wait: soon any "patriotism" is going to be made a dirty word. It's going to be pushed into the same corner with other "-isms" like racism, sexism, etc.
In other words, patriotism and nationalism are the next targets for Politically Correct demonization.
They had to wait a while...the various wars demand a certain amount of patiotism among those who fight them, as well as among the populace in general. It must have been a tricky call for them. But with a new decade dawning, its time for the NWO cockaroaches to get back in the game.
This is the kind of crap we are likely to see in the coming decade, you wait and see:
-Display of US flags in "inappropraite situations" (i.e., t-shirts, etc.) construed as "hate speech."
-Dropping of pledge of alligance in school, national anthem at ballgames, etc.
-Re-working of schoolbooks, lessons, etc.
-Fewer of the old symbols (eagles, flags, dead presidents) on money and stamps and public art in general. New symbols of feminists, postmodernists, and "champeons of cross-border liberation" (or whatever new-speechy phrase they finally settle on)
-Legal battles from people feeling "harrased" and "oppressed" by others in the workplace, classroom, or neighborhood who say or do anything remotely nationalistic
-Probably a long, comprehensive program of guilt-indoctrination for Americans about "imperialism." It will go something like like: "Your ancestors were bad people, so you must go through life displaying elaborate signs of guilt about this at all times, and be trained to monitor and police your own thoughts and actions to avoid saying or doing anything remotely nationalistic. Don't wear a red-white-and-blue striped tie to work or you will be arrested for hate speech. You must be trained to automatically shy away from an entire set of symbols, ideas, and perspectives that in the old days were considered patriotic, and instead be trained to view them as evil."
You just KNOW that's what's coming next down the pike...

That is how the change the NWO wants occurs. First they indoctrinate people to think a certain way. Then those people decide to make things a certain way.

When we stand separate but with respect, we can have a growth of ideas, culture, architecture etc.
When they incorporate into one whole, they can mandate how things are to be. Ideas, culture, politics end up being dictated downwards as opposed to cultivated upwards from the people.
All the things you mentioned "flags, wealth, sexuality, class" will be decided for you. Don't wave a flag supporting a cause they don't agree with. You will be allowed to make what amount of money they say you can.

You can find it in the influx of illegal immigrants across the southern US border. Through a well organized social campaign, they have reached the point of pride in their presence in the US and claiming every right and privilege of US citizens, while at the same time sending large sums of their money outside the US. They think of themselves as belonging to something more than just one nation. They no longer fear there status or deportation, because they feel entitled to it, and because the US has allowed it.
Some of those even vote illegally, and feel they should be able to. This is how multinational thinking leads to government policy. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Make them think like they are of one nation, then they will make themselves of one nation, then there is one government to rule them all.
Hmm..that last line reminds me of something about evil I read in a story. Could that be a coincidence?
the way they think is just how TPTB want them to think. Who else are they going to fight their wars. Saddam had so many weapons didn't he?

Can someone please explain to me what is wrong with learning to live together without borders, and without nationalities? We are all humans, we are the same species.
The reason that the world is in the state it is right now, is because of our inability to live together as one. Some people think they are above others simply because of the area of the world they were born in...are you effing kidding me?
Borders promote division, that breeds Patriotism and that ends up in nationalism most often than not.
I'm going to quote someone...
"If we don't learn how to live together, we will die together."
