You cant just start a thread and ignore arguments.
Asking for evidence is known to be the cowards way out.
Its what the disinformationist says when he is desperate.
"Oh, i am totally cornered in my argument... DO YOU HAVE EVIDENCE? DO YOU HAVE EVIDENCE?" lol
Troll somewhere else globalist...

Wrong.
Stop spreading disinformation.
You are spouting your opinion as fact.
Clear indication of disinformation.
Globalism is a fallacy made to benefit the few.edit on 9-7-2011 by BanMePlz because: (no reason given)
Secondly, there is no reason why these "global elites", if they exist, would want a totalitarian world government.
Eventually, when all third-world countries industrialize (which is a matter of when, not if), we will see a world-government in the works.
I've heard all the arguments against a one-world government, and frankly, none of them hold any merit at all. The most common one, "There are simply too many religions, cultures, and ethnic groups to expect a democratic one-world government".
The U.S also has a very diverse mix of ethnic groups, religions, and cultures and they happen to make it work and are democratic for the most part.
Should the U.S become more decentralized, then?
Should they split up into 50 countries, and then decentralize further into defining their borders by cities? That is what the argument implies.
"Federalism has more than one dynamic. In allocating powers between the States and National government federalism "secures to citizens the liberties that derive from the diffusion of sovereign power."...It enables States to enact positive law in response to the initiative of those who seek a voice in shaping the destiny of their own times, and it protects the liberty of all persons within a state by ensuring that law enacted in excess of delegated governmental power cannot direct or control their actions...Federalisms limitations are therefore not a matter of rights belonging only to the State. In a proper case a litigant may challenge a law as enacted in contravention of federalism, just as injured individuals may challenge actions that transgress; e.g. separation of powers limitations see... The claim need not depend on the vicarious assertion of a States constitutional interests even if those interests are also implicated."
If the U.S can be a stable democratic nation, then a world government can be a stably democratic as well.
Each nation would be a state, and the former presidents of that country would be its representative. There would be varying laws between the states, but a federal government to oversee such things as climate change, research and development, a space program, and education of all citizens.
If we are ever to colonize the stars, cure most diseases, solve poverty, and become a knowledge-based sentient species with a largely educated population, then a one-world government is of most importance.
We spend trillions of dollars on military technology, our top scientists working on heavily funded military projects and weapons that specialize in killing and suffering, and there is the constant possibility of a nuclear war which could end civilization as we know it, not to mention documented climate change and the impacts it has on our planet.
Albert Einstein was quoted to have said to the U.N: "IN ORDER to achieve the final aim - which is one world, and not two hostile worlds - such a partial world Government must never act as an alliance against the rest of the world. The only real step toward world government is world Government itself."
Albert Einstein did not work directly on the atom bomb. But Einstein was the father of the bomb in two important ways: 1) it was his initiative which started U.S. bomb research; 2) it was his equation (E = mc2) which made the atomic bomb theoretically possible.”
Neither the public image nor the personal protests capture the true, complex story of Einstein and the bomb. Contrary to common belief, Einstein knew little about the nuclear particle physics underlying the bomb. On the other hand, as the archives show, Einstein did not merely sign the letter to Roosevelt. He was deeply involved in writing it, revising it, and deciding how to get it to the president.

While i am not opposed to a fair and Democratic World Government, i am opposed to those who would subvert such an institution for their own ends.
The issue is not so much World Governance, but who oversees and what are the rules and what are my rights as a citizen/individual.
If this World Government had a Constitution and a Bill of Rights and an International Law that everyone could abide by then it wouldn't be such a problem.
The problem is that we face a Corporate World Government with no Democracy, no Rights and a blatant disregard for any laws or ethics or morals.

Originally posted by MathematicalPhysicist
Yes, because unlike you, I am an educated person and come to logical conclusions with sufficient evidence and data at hand. I don't take things at face-value, but, perhaps you do.
Originally posted by MathematicalPhysicist
There is evidence for everything that exists, whether it is physical evidence or inference made from scientific experiments and mathematical proofs (black holes, for example). Once again, you're wrong..
Originally posted by MathematicalPhysicistSo, you think science is also apart of the globalist agenda? Do you even know what science is? I wouldn't expect you to, seeing as you are clearly an uneducated person.
Originally posted by MathematicalPhysicistScience has evidence. Experiments can be repeated by ANYONE to confirm a scientific fact, but what experiments can I repeat to confirm the fact that there is a "globalist elite"? None. My apologies, but educated people require evidence before they are convinced and not take extraordinary claims at face-value. I find it hilariously ironic how you are saying science has no evidence, and yet, there exists sufficient evidence to prove a "globalist elite/agenda" exist. :
Originally posted by MathematicalPhysicistThere was sufficient evidence, but of course, someone like you would not be aware of that. There was rigorous experimentation conducted by other physicists, constant scrutiny by other mathematicians of his mathematical proofs, and it all turned out to be sound. This is how science works, not your conspiratorial drivel where anyone can make a claim and be taken seriously.

Pfffffttttt! Your O.P. smacks of the most odious kind of elitism, and given that O.P. is an advocacy of global governance, for all intents and purposes we can reasonably assume you are one of these so called "global elites". Define that term however you like, you have revealed quite a bit about your political ideology in your opening post alone. For example:
Originally posted by Jean Paul Zodeaux"Third world" is an elitist term, even if you only used it cavalierly and thoughtlessly. Whether non industrialized nations eventually do industrialize or not, labeling these nations as "third world" is most assuredly elitism.
Originally posted by Jean Paul ZodeauxThis is how an elitist tends to argue, fallaciously, this fallacy being an argument by dismissal. Putting words in the mouths of expected opponents in order to justify an argument by dismissal only exacerbates the fallacy. Further, hidden within this fallacious argument is the revelation that what you are advocating in terms of a "one world government" is a democracy. Perhaps you've never heard, or perhaps you have, that out of democracy rises tyranny.
Originally posted by Jean Paul ZodeauxThe elitist also tends to make vague generalizations about "facts", and are all to often woefully uninformed, which makes sense since being informed tends to dissuade one taking elitist points of view.
Originally posted by Jean Paul ZodeauxConstitutionally speaking, all the States in the Union, of The United States of America are guaranteed a republican form of government. Just because citizens' - certainly not the people, but citizens' - can vote for certain government officials, this does not make - Constitutionally speaking - the U.S. "democratic". The elite desperately want to convince people that the U.S. is a democracy, and of course, expressions such as "making the world safe for democracy" are designed to elevate democracy as some sort of mechanism for freedom, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Originally posted by Jean Paul ZodeauxYes, it should. Under the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, the national government established in the early days of the United States had a difficult time functioning as a national government. The biggest problem they faced was raising revenue due to the fact that the Articles of Confederation did not allow that national government to impose taxes, and could only request from the states funding. Because some states would honor the request, where others did not, this created a big problem and became the primary basis for federalism. However, federalism was never intended to destroy the sovereignty of the states, and anyone who has ever read The Federalist Papers knows this. Of course, elitists don't really believe they have the time for such droll reading.
Originally posted by Jean Paul ZodeauxUnder the Constitution for the United States of America, it is not impliedly so, but expressly so. Of course, you have used artful language to avoid the reality that the 50 states are sovereign and hold express powers not delegated to the federal government, by presenting "50 countries" instead of acknowledging them as states. In terms of implication, what your argument here implies is that political power flows from the top down, which of course, is grossly elitist.
Originally posted by Jean Paul ZodeauxThe foundation of all governments is the people. As you made clear in the beginning of your O.P. before there were governments there were people. Governments came later. Thus, all political power begins with the people, and the hold the inherent political power at all times. Some people may imprudently surrender that power, but even under this circumstance, the fact remains the same, and that is that all power flows directly from the people.[./quote]
Of course, the government should be serving the people and only the people. But, what you are proposing, is essentially, the devolution of mankind. You want us to revert back to our natural instincts and return back to the hunter-gatherer days, don't you? I mean, after all, those were the days when mankind was free to rape and kill whom he pleased, were
The rest of your arguments is riddled with unnecessary historical definitions, ad-hominem fallacies, red-herrings, and appeal to authority fallacies. Frankly, I haven't the time to dissect such nonsense. The simple fact is, the majority of the people do not want libertarianism. They prefer centralized government, and what the people want, goes. Do you disagree with that? Do you want enforce your ideals of liberty on a people who view them founded in complete foolishness?
Originally posted by indigothefishmankind has alot to learn before it 'evolves' the the global unification level
if it were tried right now, the 'imperfections' of man would corrupt the whole system.... greed still exists in man, lack of real empathy and compassion.. mankind still falls for the most basic of tricks, fails to understand compromise ( compromise and working together being a main pillar in a global establishment, without it global establishment is nothing more than global tyranny )... just to name a few
humans have been at war with one another since they have existed, think about that.
i agree with the original post, that it is inevitable that one day man will reach his higher potential and he will form peace on Earth all people will be unified on a global scale.
but i strongly emphasize that mankind as a collective has not reached that point yet, mankind still has much to learn and work on.

Originally posted by BanMePlzOkay, show me evidence for the timeline of the big bang. You cant. Period.
Yet you still believe it. Good job. you're so educated.
Originally posted by BanMePlzOh yeah, im so uneducated. Boo hoo, im so insulted. I totally dont know what type of person tries to put other people down when they dont agree with their argument *sarcasm
Originally posted by BanMePlzYou have an extraordinary claim which is "a one world government is inevitable" Where is your evidence hypocrite?
Originally posted by BanMePlzYou cannot prove it or disprove it. Your allegations of delusion are moot. Try again smartguy.
Originally posted by BanMePlzYeah, when the theory of relativity first came out, there was plenty of evidence... the rigorous experimentation and scrutiny were all just for fun. HAHaha.
Originally posted by BanMePlzYou are just a typical wanna-be know it all. You dont know jack squat.
