Will Humanity Ever Unite? - Page 2

Can't ever see it happening, alien invasions aside (and even then, there's sure to be the "pro-alien" factions). The fact that Europe has managed to come close, and it certainly isn't there yet, is because the various states share a somewhat common value system and religion. You need only look at the Balkans to see how differences in these leads to fragmenting, not unification.

No, you will always have sexually-unsatisfied, ill in both brain and heart, megalomaniacs who seek power and wealth and get it by manipulating the mindless sheep we can all act like...

That is until Jesus shows up again and trully unites the world!

Jon Miller · September 20, 2002, 15:06

I am a christian

so yes

Jon Miller

Bereta_Eder · September 20, 2002, 15:09

Because you are a christian humanity will unite?

Jon Miller · September 20, 2002, 15:11

no, my beleive that it will, is based on my christianity

Jon Miller

Bereta_Eder · September 20, 2002, 15:13

Christianity doesnt say anything about the world uniting.

au contraire the world will fall in some serious sh!t people will die in horrific ways and some, very few, will be saved from its last gasps of agony

Jon Miller · September 20, 2002, 15:20

your interpretation is different then mine

(I agree that before God makes things better, things will get worse)

Jon Miller

Bereta_Eder · September 20, 2002, 15:22

But they will not get better.

Just the virtuous will be saved and go to paradise (along with the ressurection of the virtuous who are dead).

There is no other way of reading it.

This world, according to christianity is doomed.

I dont want to unite with the likes of people who use the flag of USSR as their avatar

chequita guevara · September 20, 2002, 15:34

We're all united in the grave.

I do hope that was a joke. If not, take it up in PM.

"Will Humanity ever unite?"

Absolutely...

...I will make sure of it.

T-minus 40 years until my ascension to the throne...

You should stop leaping into fans; it is stupid, even for you.

go drool over the "tortures" of russian men in the military redneckie

Q Classic · September 22, 2002, 16:00

yes, in the end when our species commits suicide, to the happy tune of "it's christmas at ground zero"

Odin · September 22, 2002, 17:36

The only way to unite Humanity is to silenece the consevatives and facists (a.k.a. Bush, Robert Mugabe, Saddam) who are stuck up nationalists and screw over the U.N.

I think it could happen by the time I'm 90 (2076)

Mr. President · September 22, 2002, 19:59

I hope to God that humanity never unites, at least not under the present sort of situation where everyone will be ruled by Kofi Annan and Dag Hammarskjold types.

dunk · September 23, 2002, 11:23

I don't think there needs to be an "alien invasion". Just some group that all humans can identify as different.

Earth can unite were we placed in a situation similar to Star Trek. Our planet in constant contact with alien races acting as the various nations on Earth do today.

We'll always have the "Us and Them" problem. It's animal nature. Wolves have packs, lions have prides, etc, etc.

Hopefully not. This would mean the stagnancy of, and finally the end of evolution.

paiktis, I really wish you would tone down your anti-americanism. I really listen to your posts about Turkey and such. You should know that there are some Americans who would like to help.

HazieDaVampire · September 23, 2002, 13:04

i expect we will only ever unite, and we should only ever unite when we become a space fairing nation. I mean stuff like metting other intelligent life and if it does possibly try to invade we will be strong.

But this won't happen till a nuke goes off in America (You can slow it down but its bownd to happen!).

Ned · September 23, 2002, 13:49

We are today united, in a sense, through the United Nations.

If one is talking about more: one law, one language, one army; that may take forever. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Q Classic · September 23, 2002, 14:50

the UN unites us?

really?

funny, doesn't seem that way most times.

thinkingamer · September 23, 2002, 15:04

Will humanity ever unite?

Well, if u meant unite as a single nation, maybe, but not likely. If the Government of that nation that controls the world is from a particular group, or race then it will not last long. If the Goverment of that nation uses a true democratic gov't system, then its very likely to be separated again (people voting to be independent nation)

I just hope that humanity will unite, not in terms of a single government, language, and nation, but in terms of living in peace and harmony with each other.

thinkingamer · September 24, 2002, 13:02

bump!

i want some opinion about my thoughts!

SpencerH · September 24, 2002, 13:09

The world will unite. We'll all hold hands and have a big group hug while singing Kumbaya and eating tofu.

The United Nations, the World Bank, the IMF and the WTO are the beginnings of a world government. The problem with the UN is that it is composed of nations with radically different and opposing interests that threaten to tear it apart. In order for the UN to really work, these differences have to reduced to virtual non existence first.

What this means in reality is that the Freeworld must spread democracy and free enterprise everywhere. If this is not done, conflicts and poverty will continue.

Are you kidding? With the prices funeral homes charge I expect to get a grave of my very own, thank you very much. I and my heirs will be deeply peeved if they shove a few extra people in there with me.

Dr Strangelove · September 24, 2002, 14:38

The world will unite when everyone is sufficiently "Americanized". Note that our little greek heretic is using a quote from an American pop singer in his avatar even as he flames us. It's only a matter of time. Surrender now and avoid the rush!
