Hey guys, just wanted to share some idea of mine with you.
What do you think, about one completely equal world.
I'm talking about NO boundaries, NO countries, and NO religion.
One world, where everybody is free to go where he/she wants to.
Everybody is equal, your race and your origin wont matter.
No religions or anything like that, just perfect peace, love and acceptance.
One language everybody speaks for sure and one type of money.
No more poverty for certain parts of the world. No more hunger.
Less overpopulation in certain areas etc...
A communist, liberal democracy with a president.
How do you guys feel about this?
Share your thoughts, please!

How would you deal with the language/s issue ?
1 language everybody should speak. This language HAS to be taught in schools alongside the native language. For example, in my school, this is what I get taught (just the language ofc): 5 hours Latin, 4 hours Dutch, 4 hours French, 3 hours German, 3 hours english.
One language should be taught just as much as the native language.
Coulda fooled me when you said this:I don't want to get rid of certain people etc, I would just like to be rid of that problem. No forcing or making someone do that, just POOF and it happens.
I mean, you can't get from point A to point B without taking some sort of action. Humans can't do "POOF and it happens."In my world, these people wouldn't exist.
No, that's not possible. Scarcity can be reduced, history has shown that, but not eliminated. There is only so much food, for so many people. There is only so much land. There are only so many workers. There are only so many hours in a day. This is the problem of scarcity, and it cannot be eliminated. It can be reduced though, and what has reduced it the most is capitalism.And if we'd have all people working together, perhaps there wouldn't be scarcity. If we'd have a great economy etc, we could produce enough resources.
I sure do! At school, I take Latin + Modern day languages.
Diverse languages are great, they are fascinating and beatiful indeed.
But one language everybody speaks, would certainly make things alot easier, wouldn't it?
People actually tried this, btw, with the language called "Esperanto".
It was a scientific and therefor very difficult language, and that's one of the reason it didn't work out.
I, by the way, am taking my english exam tomorrowI should be studying now but...
I've had an oral exam of latin at 12:15 this noon, and I already studied from 6-11:30 for that one, so I'm not really feeling like studying even more today.
I'd say it's great people have their own point of view / ideas on something. But Religion has caused so much harm and did so much bad things, I would prefer a world without any... Besides that, I believe all religions are untrue, so I find it much better seeing people living their lives without any lies / false religions.
You see, you think you would be lost without Him, because you 'know' him. If you would never had even heard of christianity, never gotten in touch with it, would you still feel lost without it?
If we wouldn't know about God, you wouldn't miss him either.
Yes it does...
But let's say you were born and raised in some rainforest. All of the people you know and will ever know are your own tribe members. You're being taught about the one and only God, also known as "Mamamouchi".
Would you still feel lost? Would you think: "Hmm, for some reason I feel lost, I don't believe in Mamamouchi and it's like I'm missing some kind of spiritual dominant being."
The answer is no you wouldn't. The answer is that religion are stories told by parents to their children and other people. Which is why the all of the religions we know are situated that way. No Muslim would ever feel the need to actually believe in the christian God and Jesus. Just as you won't just abandon your faith and become a buddhist. Every religion claims their God to be the real one.
And this is why I don't believe in God.
Good luck on your exam. When do you find out how you did?
I can imagine the intrigue involved in choosing the common language ..
How about making one?
European English:
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English" .
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where! more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as
replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.
Yes it does...
You can't imagine living on without God, just because you've known him.
I quote this for your amusement:

Ah, but I did feel lost before I knew Him, and actually I did miss the things that God is..I'm just glad I found what I was missing.

No, that's not possible. Scarcity can be reduced, history has shown that, but not eliminated. There is only so much food, for so many people. There is only so much land.

I could live with that, however I think we would want to choose a better form of government than "communism". That has been tried and was an utter failure. I would think a liberal representative democracy, prided over by a president or prime minister would be much better.
Complete equality is not a possibility because all are not equal in ability or contribution to the society. Without some disparity between the greater and lesser contributing members of the society we would lose the higher contributors. For example if a good doctor makes as much as a lousy doctor then the incentive to be a good doctor is lost. Prestige and rewards are necessary to motivate people to achieve greater things. However making all equal at least at some level is doable and a laudable goal. The elimination of hunger and severe poverty is something I would greatly support. No child should suffer poverty or hunger and no one should go without the necessities of life.
Racial, ethnic, and gender equality are equally laudable goals. We should do all within our power to make this a reality. To deny someone something based on such petty reasoning is pathetic and wrong. So I support this also.
A single language (although I have no idea how quickly this could be achieved) would also be a wonderful step forward for society. However there are questions to be answered. What language do we choose? How will it be phased in? Over what period will this be phased in? What about people who have difficulty with the new language? How will we translate everything into the new language and who gets to decide on the translation used?
The same thing goes for a single currency. It is a wonderful idea but the economic realities that surround such a move are enormous. Take the Euro for example, they have had a lot of difficulty bringing it to a point of full acceptance in Europe. I think if you consider the economic implications of such a move you can see why doing that on a plant wide basis would be 1000 times more difficult. However once we have switched to a single planet wide government this would be achievable with a lot of work. But not until that point.
On these points we agree
Now for the big question how would you suggest this be brought about?
