Which event in the world do you think is the single most significant and impacting?

Not counting the the invention of the wheel and the discovery of controlled fire, I'd say Gutenberg's invention of the moveable type printing press has been the most significant event in human history.

I dun one event should affect your life so much so that you cannot celebrate your birthday. It shows the kind of ignorance we are so full off. 9/11 cannot be termed even close to a devastating catastrophe. But we are giving so much importance to it. \nThere are more people killed in Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Typhoons, other terrorist attacks. Do you remember the dates of that? But one isolated incident in US and its forever memorized on the minds & hearts of americans. There are more people dead in Iraq than in 9/11. Do you remember the dates for that? Do you have even thought whether they died on their birthdays? No. 9/11 did not stop the world. No event will ever will. \nPeople will born, people will die. Time does not stop for anyone. I would not party on my birthday which is on 20th April. You know who was born on this day. Adolf Hitler. Does it mean I have to be silent. No. It would not mean that. \nOn the other hand, I believe in no party but some simple time spent with family during my b'day.

No brainer here.\n\nAlways family.  Family is the most important thing in the world.  No matter how crazy they drive me.

Not everything that happens in the freaking world has to be significant to America!!  This holiday is not significant to Americans at all.  Thanks for asking.

September 11, for one, but I'm sure that you have that one...\n\n2003 February - Space shuttle Columbia's 28th mission ends in tragedy when the craft breaks-up while re-entering the atmosphere. The seven astronauts on board are killed. \n\n2003 20 March - Missile attacks on targets in Baghdad mark the start of a US-led campaign to topple the Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. US forces advance into central Baghdad in early April. \n\n2005 August - Hundreds of people are killed when Hurricane Katrina, the most destructive storm to hit the US in decades, sweeps through gulf coast states. Much of the city of New Orleans is submerged by flood waters. \n\nHope this helps! Tallie

it is important.  But what about it?

I'd say one of the most pressing issues would include the US occupation of Iraq.  I'm sure you can find lots of historical data and speculations about the future conclusion.

In terms of a football competition, the FIFA World Cup.\n\n      However, as an overall athletic event, the Olympics, due to their history, and the amount of countries and people they bring together, is by far the better one.

Smallpox, definitely. It was responsible for around 300-500 million people in the 20th century alone (and its been around way longer than that). Smallpox was eradicated in 1979, but there are still cultures of it here in the U.S. and in Russia.
