I'd like to see one world government; it could start with the UN getting more and more power until they run things.

If the world were a democracy gay rights would be globally banned over night

I doubt it. Most heterosexuals are happy when others find love be it gay or straight. All homophobes are closet homos who hate themselves.

I've seen enough of the world to know only trash who don't know how to love are the ones who try and shame those who do

Very poetic, 45 million militantly Catholic Ugandans are still going outvote American liberals about making bum sex a death penalty

Well too bad for them because democracy is not to vote how people live their private lives. We need more socialism some places and more libertarianism some places. And no death penalty ever. Some people deserve life in prison; no government deserves the right to kill. These "Christians" involved is mob revenge murder make me sick. Witch hunt death penalty is literally what killed Jesus.

Don't know; don't care. I'm Buddhist. Life is about finding peace in truth and truth in peace; not about begging for forgiveness.

The un is literally made up of a bunch of the worlds governments. So you propose….this continues? You’re actually for this?

Let's say we socialize education for equal opportunity to earn privilege; move healthy competition from companies to individuals, from schools to teachers. Teachers bettering each other and the world all over the world would be world peace. Because peace is fair competition in a trustworthy system.

The only trustworthy system is “who has nuclear bombs, and what are their motives to use them” All those warheads everyone owns, aren’t going anywhere. And until we resolve the motivations for using weapons to solve our problems, this “one world government” will remain bullshit. Am I screaming that capitalism is better? No. But at least we get the illusion of choice.

I really hope I don't live to see a nuclear war: either die in the first bomb or it just not happen. The world uniting against a common threat would be one way to do it. But are people really so terrible that we can't see any threat if it's not a foreign threat? What about domestic threats like politicians who lie and people who don't have enough self respect to demand the truth?

This is a people problem. Let people fix it. When he wanted to sell books, bezos had a bunch of money and tuned it into …ta-da….. a marketplace. “Oh I wish Fiverr existed!” “If only YouTube were free!?” You got me on healthcare though, that one balks at the thought of being reined in.

Socialized education that prioritizes experience: a person move from medical assistant, to nurse, to doctor. It's perfectly fine for doctors to be fiercely competitive; not fine for them to be capitalist monsters selling treatments rather than providing cures.

Socialize emergency Healthcare because negotiation under duress is extortion. Let people have free hospital stays to recover; only cost being the time they take away from their work.

Free the drug market for safer recreational drugs and cheaper medicinal drugs. Let people not in hospital decide for themselves what's medicine and pay for it themselves.

That's the end goal eventually, but I'd rather not. I already dislike the standardisation if nany aspects of life due to globalisation, I don't want many more to be added to that liat due to a single government.

I love moving cities and still being close to a Petsmart and Target. I don't love how capitalism capitalizes on labor rather than values people; profits are unpaid worker's wages.
