There is no possible way a world government that could be formed. When it comes to wester and eastern society, things vary greatly. Ranging from religious and culutural beliefs to ethical and social beliefs. What some people in western society find acceptable is considered a sin and atrocious in eastern society. In the United States the constitution states that each person is guaranteed the three basic freedoms. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness. This is totally different in a country say like China, India, or Iran. The only real way the world would come anywhere near to forming a world government would be that everyone would have to be brain washed and genetically altered so people are tolerable and acceptable of everyone. Next to impossible.
So you are saying that in China, India or Iran, people cannot be free, pursue happiness, or even live? I think you have been exposed to too much American propaganda. Indeed, China has some issues with human rights, namely self-expression and censoring, but Indians or Iranians? How do they differ from Americans in those three statements? And what of that the West and the East having different ethics? 7% of Australians are Asians, and our culture is greatly affected by Asian culture. There is Christian churches and a Buddhist temple in the city where I live, and the two religions live side by side. I don't see how a single governing body would create more racism, different cultures live together under one goverment all over the place.

Err.... can I stop to say how ridiculously stupid that post was?
I'm Indian. When I go to India, my cousins are happy. They play games, aren't 'forced' to do anything, hang out with friends. They are certainly different than us, think more 'innocent'. But just because the US decided to put it on paper and name it Constitution, doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't have those rights too.

Ticktock, maybe the reason your cousins are so well-off is because they live in a more wealthy area of India. They're probably in the upper-class, correct?

Wrong document. That's the declairation of independence.
Right now, I pay about 8 cents on every dollar I make so that old people can die slower. That's america. I'd have to pay 108 cents on the dollar to support the entire world's poverty. Also, some poor chinese kid is probably working his {expletive antidisestablishmentarianized by Cspace} of every day so that I can buy stuff cheaper and live a less costly life. That only works because not everyone is subject to America's labor and wage laws. If they were, I wouldn't be able to afford all the things I can. That's why the world cannot exist under one governemnt. One country has to rape another in order to promote growth.

Tick Tock, I dont know what your problem is but please stop being so disrespectful. It's fine if you want to speak your mind, but geez leave the nitpicking and insults at the door. I was naming off countries that first came to mind. Neraphym you were right, it was the Declaration of Independence. When I posted this I was up very late the previous day and wasnt fully awake.
Also to Nuu, if the world was to form a world government. Who would be the people in charge of forming those laws saying what is right and what isnt right? Call me ignorant if you wish. Maybe I am just listening to American propaganda. But to be honest, as long as people are around, there will always be war. Some people will always pose the government and there will be some group out there trying to cleanse the world of another ethnicity. Always will be some insane whackjob out there trying to harm innocent people. I really dont know what you would call this. But thats my opinion and what I think.
P.S. My opinion, everyone is created equally and deserves to be treated with the same amount of respect and decency as anyone else. It does not matter who you are, where you come from. No one is better than someone else. Dont judge a person by their looks, but look at the inside of them and see them for who they truly are.

'First came to your mind'. Hah. "It does not matter who you are, where you come from. No one is better than someone else."? What a hypocrite!

Personally, I believe in complete social equality. Everyone gets the same number of votes, 1. No one person is worth more socially than the next. When it comes to everything else, let darwin rule.

I dont see how you can call me a hypocrite. I didnt say or do anything that shows that I am a hypocrite. If I said that everyone deserves to be treated with respect, but I go and disrespect someone else. That is being a hypocrite. The first three countries that came to mind were the ones I listed. That has nothing to do with me being a hypcorite. I'm not going to try and argue with you anymore. We can agree to disagree, you can call me a hypocrite all you want. I know who I am and what I have to say. If you dont like what I have to say then fine, that' your opinion.
