Do you think its possible to have a United States of Planet Earth?  Do you want one?

Yes, It is possible to someday have a "New World Order."  I mean this in the most positive way.  It will take time and some revolutionary type of thinking however.  I have traveled all over the world and I have found that we have more in common with people of the world than we have differences.  People want the same things--good health, happiness, economic opportunity, to raise a family, hope and just governance.  We are closer than many will lead us to believe. It will begin with a vision of common grounds regarding shared values and the continuous denouncing of evil and evil rhetoric.  Certainly, there is going to be hatred and contempt, but we cannot let a small minority of "Terrorists" threaten our very existence.  People are basically good and will choice good over evil once their primal needs are satisfied.  The problem with a world society is one of fairness to all people and sectors of the world.  This becomes a major obstacle to world peace and is probably the one thing that can prevent the evolution of governance to that level.  That notwithstanding--doesn't it sound a lot better to visualize world peace than to live in a world full of hatred and violence?  And a world in which we are united against those who create chaos.  I could envision a day when we are governed by a board of our peers that are responsible for ensuring just and competent governance.

because we're used to it...\n\nThink about it for a second. In history, America was discovered and war erupted. It would be the same concept, but differ from immigrating. If we all were to travel to another planet and establish a colony, we would have problems because we are bewildered of the resources on the planet. Does it supply water? Does it have air?  It's really the ecological questioning you want to develope in your debate. Otherwise, talk about how fun earth is. The most important thing when you reason... bring up questions that will make the listener think about the consequences of going to the other planet. If we all go to the other planet, will supplies last? WIll there be a politcal conflict of who owns the planet? Also, list your points. Then... at the end... mention how the world would be a better place if we stayed on Earth... Lets not abadon our planet... LMAO. good luck.

Yes, every problem could be solved through hard work and/or blunt honesty.  Unfortunately, too few people are willing to work at it.  It is a shame--"we've borrowed this earth from our grandchildren"

I don't think it could happen at least in the realistic sense.  A nation is defined by its borders.  How can one nation have many borders on different contents.  You can have an economic union something of the sort of the E.U. but they are adrift with no real Constitution and have multiple social issues.

Yes. Assuming it's a map of the right part of the world. :)\n\nBut then... I'm not American.

no, but it would be very stupid to assume that Earth is the only planet that can sustain and contains life.  the universe is gigantic.  i don't think any human can truly grasp how vast the universe is.

America's founding was quite a bit more complicated than that, and starting a country today would also be much more complicated.\n\nAll the land in the world today is owned by one country or another except for Antarctica. There are international treaties for Antarctica too however that prevent one country or another from claiming it as territory for its own. Elsewhere in the world, to start your own country, you would have to rally a sizeable group of supporters, get funding, and secede from the nation that your particular part of the land is in. Then you would need to be powerful enough to repulse the attacks of the host nation, form your own national identity and remain organized long enough to maintain national unity. If these things can be accomplished and you did this long enough to be recognized by a majority of the other countries in the world, then you too can start your own country. Good luck.

one day if the US gets a little more power over the rest of the world and some technological advances the US could actually become and empire and use its influence to in effect rule the world.....or.....maybe one day the superpowers of the world will decide to band together and make the entire world and all its people into an unbreakable empire...hey you may laugh now but one day it could happen.

The US is a strong, prosperous country. If the desire was there to take ove the world as other countries have throughout time, it could potentially be done. The thing is - the desire isn't there. The US runs on the principles of democracy, free enterprise, and freedoms. If the US took over the world, it would become either a totalitarian society or a dictatorship, two things we have looked down upon for decades. The United States is already one of the most prosperous countries in the world, one which believes in free enterprise [having a rich, poor, and middle class - much like a social hierarchy]. If the US was so determined to become the most wealthy country in society, it would go against its principles [which date back to the Declaration of Independence] of free enterprise. \n\nThe mear thought is silly, my dear. Silly.

How about EarthGov?\n\nI think a world government would require a body sort of like the United Nations, but with the powers endowed in Congress.  I do believe that the U.S.'s three-branch system works well, and should be (with minor tweaking to accommodate everyone) used as a base.\n\nTherefore, a united judicial system consisting of people from around the world would be required (for the first few generations, until we accept everybody else as equal citizens), before eventually basing it just on qualifications.\n\nAn elected leader, like the President would be a good choice, just as long as that person is a good person and actually knows what he's doing (after all, he'd be leading 6+ Billion people.)\n\nYet the government would also have international abilities that the U.N. has, so no one could accuse one country of butting into another's business.\n\nAnd if the "New Founders" are ever not sure what to do, they can just reference to the dozens of movies, T.V. shows, and books which have covered this subject, such as "The 5th Element & Star Trek".

I don't think it's possible because people want what is no theirs. the U.S. is a prime example. They will keep taking until they have it all and someone is going to fight back.\nthat said we have Bush as a president and the U.S. will keep electing idiots.\nWeapons of mass destruction. HA!!  he just want the oil and people are dying for NOTHING!

I guess it depends if the earth is able to sustain life before we are able to colonize on other planets or star systems.  But yes, if we are just talking about the world only as our planet, yeah, its coming soon.  It sucks.

The laws of probability makes it a yes to your question.  We are not alone.  In fact earth is just a speck in our own galaxy.  Our galaxy is just one of many galaxies.  Yes it would be amazing to find other beings....provided they were friendly...LOL

You don't have to ask me twice----yes !!!!!!\n\nI would like to see land for wildlife and parks. I would like to know we can support the people here with food if we had too.  And there  would be enough grazing land for lifestock . And Medical for all.   And a place for all to rest.\n\nThis country is a mess of its own problems-and closing that door for a few years would help.\n\nSorry for my crude English.

Afraid not.  The only planet in our solar system that has the temperature and atmosphere that will sustain life is good old Earth.
