I personally would like it to be a simple one, but even if it isn't, imagine the benefits that would result...
Opinions, ideas, insults?

I think that the more immediate concern should be making people learn more than one language so that chances are they will be able to communicate with others. People would argue about which language is the best for the global language.
Also, English is popular, but certainly not everyone knows it. I think that if the schoolchildren of many nations outside of America are almost forced to learn their native language in addition to English, that English speakers should almost be forced to learn another language as well.
I think that this is a good idea--the global language,--and there have been some created for that purpose, but they don't seem to catch on. English is probably the closest thing we have to a global language, but many people feel resentment towards English speaking nations such as America or Great Britain and, thus, probably have no interest in learning it. It would have to be a different language entirely to be fair.
The best solution is really to become familiar with at least one other language because the global ones are not so popular.

I think that, although it is a good idea (look into esperanto, for instance, a simplified language intended for global use), it would be impossible, and in the end pointless to "establish" a global language
that is the kind of thing that must establish itself
at this point, it looks like it will be english, but then, at one time it looked like the VCR standard would be the "beta" type not VHS.

All languages evolve. More important loan words will be added in each language. Less significant words or languages will eventually become obsolete. I do not think it is necessary to create a new one. History shows that the process has already been on its way from so many different directions towards a unified one.

Isn't English already the global lingua franca? What else do you need?

it will eventually happen, if we make it that far.
