the UK apparently leaving the EU....

And that is at least trying instead of status quo. I can applaud that. I am not shy to say that I believe it will be our ultimate destination of a unified planet if we don't destroy ourselves.

 

We had a unified law and a similar culture and values. And similar socioeconomic status as well

 

I have no doubt that a world govt would end up decreasing the quality of life in the United States. We already pay for enough free loaders in this country

 

Precisely why I carry a pocket translator when I go to Minnesota. Just two totally different languages and cultures. Crazy people call coke soda, believe it or not.

 

And I don't think the world is ready for a world government, either. But it is coming or we go extinct. One or the other. Might be 100 years (doubtful) or 1000.

And when that time comes, I think by then it will be of a huge benefit.

Hell, I doubt the USA will still be king of the planet by then.

 

India has about a gajillion languages. That is a false barrier.

 

These people fought wars against each other that spanned generations. They have drastically different cultures. It's very different.

 

"At least trying" would only be a good thing if one presumed the status quo was bad and that the effort was moving toward something better. Obviously many don't believe that. I'm not sure why that means they aren't interested in moving humanity forward.

 

Why is lack of a world govt mean we will go extinct?

 

everybody in minnesota knows its called pop.

 

Just trying to imagine the level of inefficiency, ineffectiveness, and ineptitude of a world government makes my head hurt.

 

So you're saying we're ****ed if the aliens ever come?

 

I was about to say that

 

Because **** everyone but the US. Make America great again.

 

Everyone is guay but us.

 

Uruguay.

 

250 years of unity is a long time, but 250 years (~1500) is not long after the white man came?

 

Nah, Paraguay

 

You misunderstood. I meant that a world government is inevitable. And the only way it doesnt happen is if we axe ourselves a question.

Not having a world government doesn't mean we will go extinct.

All my conjecture, of course.

And cultures are becoming more and more homogeneous. The internet, jet plane travel and a global economy is pushing that now. The USA is practically homogeneous now. Same hotels ad
And same restaurants and same clothing and department stores. The only way you can tell you are in Miami or Knoxville is the weather and geography. Oh and the shitty Miami drivers.

 

We weren't settling a substantial part of the country in 1500.
