humanity

[zombiehunter123]

people say that humanity has reached its highest level and that space travel is impossible and that their will never truly be peace and you know what their right if we stay on this course towards death we will all die from war or poverty their for ending humanity's future but their is away for us to change all this before its too late if we all band together as one country one flag and forget our differences and work towards one goal that should be our path that will be the only way we can save the lives of our future the only way we will beat cancer and war the only way we can advance past our energy issues and someday maby not in our life time but in our childrens childrens life time we may be able to travel and find new worlds and new life forms we must all change before its too late

Nice sentiments but it ain't ever going to happen, humans are tribal by nature, if the world was only one nation with one religion we'd still find something to fight about. We're also natural hoarders which leads to greed and you can't force people to share everything because that's the road to oppression and we don't want to go there. Mankind itself will be fine, war, famine and disease will take care of overpopulation, the strong will survive which will in turn will strengthen humanity.

but you see thats where your wrong it is possible look at history like with hittler it wasent one country that defeated him and the nazis it was an alliance of countrys all with the same goal all with a comman enemy people say it was america Britain the french army that was in britain and cnada that defeated hitler but they are just the biggest boom all together 35 countrys allied to stop hittler and now when binlardin hit the world the same happened when japan was hit by the tsunami the world gathered to help so yes it is possible if you all have one comman goal and one enemy the goal for a a better future for our grandchildren the enemy poverty and depression so yes it is possible and as for the weak the weak you make powerful and anyway who is weak the hungry in africa or the depressed in russia and north korea or is it blacks and jews and muslims or is it gingers or is it the rich who hide behind money and power humanity is already stronger than any weapon stronger than cancer humanity is the ablity to say no to child slavery humanity is overcoming any and all challenges if one country can put a man on the moon just imagine what we could do if we all worked together. humanity will die unless we change

[JimboUK]

The end of World War Two is a perfect example of why we'll never get along, when it was over was there freedom and peace? no, Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin sat down and carved Europe up, the following decades had both sides pointing nuclear weapons at each other. Yes countries can work together when it's in their interests to do so but when push comes to shove they'll always act in their own self interest. The European Union should be a model of countries living in harmony but it's far from it, by forcing people together it's creating discord, the far right is gaining ground right across mainland Europe, Nazis are very likely to win seats in the European Parliament next month, this is because people rightly or wrongly fear losing their identity. The idea of people coming together is all well and good but it ignores the reality of what we are, we're tribal, selfish and greedy, that's not going to change and any system that ignores human nature is doomed to failure *cough* Communism *cough*.

[Thor.]

Such low opinion of Humanity, if all was true then we should stop advancing now. The thing is we are a curious bunch, even though we may have our problems, our curiosity catches up with us. Example is what we have now.

It's not a low opinion, it's the reality of what we are as a species, it's no good pretending we're something we're not, just look at the world, the wars, the inequality, the greed and other unpleasantness, that's us, it's how we are, how we've always been.

[Thor.]

Pretending, not everyone is out for greed and revenge, Its a 50 50 split. How would you rank yourself among the human race.

 

The trick is, not everyone has that point of view. We understand that there is good.

 

We need a poll to let the public decide on the matter.

 

if everyone was is as you say, then why hasn't civilization ended.

both of you are right jim what your saying is true but if we dont change within maby the next 100 years it will be too late war willl take over and we will destroy our selfs from the inside once we've done that well all hopes of a good future for our children will be lost

[BlackRampage]

Oh? And how do you think we will destroy ourselves? Men have been at war with each for thousands of years, yet we're still around. What has changed? Even if "war will take over" there will always be those who aren't involved in such a war, there will always be survivors, those who have gone underground, etc, etc.

One of the greatest qualities of the human race is our ability to adapt to just about every imaginable situation, that's including a worldwide war.

 

And what do you propose would need to be changed? Strife is in our nature. You can't deny that which is natural.

The event that wiped out the dinosaurs resulted in only species between the size of a mole to a large rat in mammals being able to survive and with nuclear weapons we are well within the capability of recreating such an effect on a global scale . So unless you believe in God ya got somewhere around ? a 1 in 1 trillion shot that evolution is gonna recreate the human species . lotsa luck with that.
