The disadvantage of a one world government is that small indigenous populations would lose they self control and probably lose the cultures and traditions.

No one person should rule the world.  I would immediately turn the world into a democracy.

Because most of the people with power in the world have another agenda and it has nothing to do with what is best for the ordinary people. What they want is a controlling one world government. Liberals, sometimes gleefully and at other times out of ignorance help them by encouraging "international laws" to be held over the laws of sovereign nations and by encouraging welfare states.  In other words giving power to ever larger government to ease us into the transition to a central (and suppresive) world government. \n\nWhile, I do not believe that the United States should "police" the world, the United States can and should defend her own interests.  Iraq was a threat to the United States under Saddam.  North Korea, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and several other countries are also threats. We need to take care of those threats too.

NO!!! I don't want one government controlling the world, but I know(the Bible) that in the end-times that is gonna happen, and all the Christians will be persecuted and put to death. I don't want to speed that along any more than necessary.

Things get done quickly and relatively efficiently without the need to vote on things.  Since all of the power is with one person, if the one person is good, then things will be very good.  Of course, there's the downside if the one person isn't that great.

Personally I wouldd like to refrain from drawing the chaotic conclusions in Hobbes state of nature. If every government in the world ceased it would leave a power vacuum as expected. The local gangs would have the slight advantage, or those who form groups quickly would be most likely to survive. Parts of cities woul;d become under ownership before one becomes stronger than the rest. If the city is taken over by a major group either through fear or diplomacy. In 'countries' you'd probably find yourself in a situation of inter city wars, for a wee while followed by leagues.\nWhile I sit down and think about it it may reflect ancient Greece: Dorian tribes sacking the land, inter city war followed by Leagues (as the way of the future) I think history would end up repeating itself for a greater or lesser extent.

The entire world cannot be governed by one person.Even if the masses elect him it would not be a good idea to have the world governed by a single person.

We are all one nation. The Empire. Go to http://360.yahoo.com/first_emperor_of_the_world.

Maybe because we're the only country that has the advantages to lead the world. If a one-party country like China would control the world's economy I think we wouldn't enjoy the freedom we have. We're open minded and multi cultural and these are good advantages.

As the Youngest of the real countries we sort of had our choice and became the first Succesful Republic Democracy with A capaitalist monetary system and a Social conscience.  We give more money to the world then ALL Other countries combined and have the greatest Allies on the earth.  Perfect nope but we are heading there I would suggest you join us.

If you are suggesting that the world simply be one giant nation, I think it's a nice idea--but one that would never work.\n\nThe world is an unbelievably complex place--and that's when no one on it is trying to destroy anyone.  Since that seems never to happen, it only complicates it further.  I think the best that we can hope for is that those nations who can have enough good sense to elect leaders who can truly think globally and fully appreciate the problems and needs of people far away.

Why would a one world government be a bad thing?  The progress of government throughout the years has always entailed small, individual governments coming together for the common good.  Look at the history of nearly every country and you'll find that to be the case.  And why can't a one world government be a democracy?\n\nAs a matter of fact, a one-world government (or truly cooperative nation governments) might be the only thing that prevents What's Next For Our Little Earth: nuclear, biological and/or nanotechnological war between the individual nations.  That's MUCH more likely to occur before world population gets to a point where it's a serious problem (as in, mass destruction).  As more and more countries have mass destruction technology, mass destruction is inevitable.  Only a global, cooperative effort will keep it under control.

Government knows best whats good FOR GOVERNMENT, namely keeping us "teaming masses" in check.  Since government not gonna voluntarily give up its power, YOU must choose your areas of freedom. The man can't be everywhere, all the time.

We already have a one-party system.  It's called the "Property Party".

Largely because the only people interested in imposing a New World Order are the ones who want to force everyone to conform to their ideological and religious beliefs.\n\nYou don't need a New World Order if everyone is free. Enlightened anarchy (no, not just plain garden-variety anarchy) is the only truly effective form of government.\n\nNow, we just have to wait for the entire species to become enlightened, and to let go of fear, hatred and prejudice. Then we'll be fine.

Can you boil down a group of 250 million people (in the US - 1 Billion+ in China), to just a few leaders.\n\nPeople around the world are complex and individual, don't sell them short... in some countries they may have very little choice as to who their leaders are.  In most democratic countries governments ebb and flow with the passage of time... never perfect but hopefully improving in some areas as time goes by.
