Why are people afraid of a one world goverment? - RRT

i have a question? why is everyone afraid of a single goverment in control of the world?
it seems to me that this is inevitable given the fact that ultimatly we, meaning humanity as a whole, cannot fight mass wars forever, because our ultimate weapons would destroy us all, and if we want to continue unchecked population growth (and all of the problems that come along with that) we are going to need an entity stronger then these many seperate nations can provide.

Because all a world goverment would do is give the goverment more power. There would still be war, unless the world goverment somehow managed to eliminate religion, hatred, greed and any negativity whatsoever. The power would be centralized, if one goverment could control the whole world, there would be no dissenting. And population growth isn't a problem, more the people in charge.

In theory its not good or bad. Until you take into account that generally the people in charge act like idiots, or end up being corrupt money grubbing puppets. Not to mention the logistics to the entire thing. Even in 1st world countries poverty is still present, diseases left to spread as we research better ways to blow shit up. Shits a joke. If the advanced countries of our world cant take care of themselves how can we expect any of them to handle the worlds needs. Its nice to dream about these things but we are just not ready for it.

but wars would not be nationalistic, and depending on what form this one world goverment takes dissent and critisism would still be possible, ans maybe, just maybe some of these persistant global problems (pollution, garbge, energy, etc...) would get solved if we had one real voice dictating, instaed of many voices squabbling. i mean since the begining of humanity we have been moving closer to one world goverment, and population is not only a problem, it is the main problem because the more people there are, the more resources are used, which always causes tensions. i mean we aint in iraq because of the iraqies

man...... good question .... all great answers you and Minute have.....if theres any world power i believe that Korea, Japan or whoever we pay billions of dollars a year on...is going to be that power think about it all he technology we have THEY invented 1st ,tvs, stereos,cellphones,computers,technology for vehicles,othe electric gadgets, every new technology that is introduced in the U.S was in their country long b4..remember the toilet with the automatic flush with the wave of your have they had that shit at least 10 years b4 we got it(all thats pretty obvious that when we get a new technology to them it's pretty much OLD then. we need them more than they need us....hince the reason we pay them so much per year.....oh yeah they have better weapons then us also , which is why every time we were so scared of them when their were testing nukes.... THINK ABOUT IT

Ask yhour self this how can one govermetn protect or help 7 billion people? THere is no way that could meet the needs of all those people. nothing would get done nor could you get in contact with anyone. Just look how hard it is to deal with the federal goverment. wars happen because of goverment intervention. In a one world goverment there people will diagree and want to split off. Wars will still happen.

the thing about it is that 192 seperate soviergn nations cannot provide adequetly for thier poputaltions. and again i point out that we are facing some problems that are probably coming to a head. for example the enviorment.now im not or the school that we, humanity, are totally resposible for "global warming". but i will concede the point that all of our pollution and enviormental degradation (non-composable garbage, co2 emmisions, oil spills, clear cutting forest) have global implications. when the united states dumps its garbage into the middle of the atlantic, whose reponsibility is it? when china builds 20 new factories with very little pollution controls, who can tell them to upgrade. the free market really doesn't address those issues. and about war? war is generally over resourses(energy, treasure, labor, ec) with one goverment body allocating those reasources, thier would be less tensions, and less reaon for reagonal conflict.
