What would it take to get you to transfer your allegience to an international government for the planet Earth?

We don't need a world governance. All we need is a forum, where all can voice themselves, respectfully and with respect given to them. Globalization is not really a very good idea.

If I was certain that such a government would unambiguously respect human rights, and would limit itself to only the few legitimate functions of government, I would be willing to claim allegiance to it.
I find it highly unlikely that any global government like that will come about any time soon.

I think it would take more than just a set up government. I think it would take loads of brainwashing and mass consumerism. Excuse my cynicism, but I think until we reach that non-feeling point we won't be able to be rid of bad feelings between nations. It's not the greatest thing to think about though. Ideas need to spread and we need to be open-minded. It will take a long time for that to happen...

That was the dream of the Communist Internationale. I am an American who could not even conceive of asking this question.

There is nothing that would make me do that. The only place that would work is in fairy tails and SiFi... never in real life.

I would absolutely not even entertain the idea - although according to the bible, it is inevitable

It would probably take my life....because I would put up one heck of a fight.
