If everyone thinks one world democracy would be bad, does that mean one national democracy is bad?

Question

I'm a little confused. Everyone responded to the one world govt. question by saying how terrible it would be. Does that mean you all think we shouldn't have a national govt, but rather 50 state governments? Or maybe just city governments? Neighborhood governments?

Our representative democracy had been wonderful for us. We will never have to worry about a war between Virginia and Texas because they both have a voice in the governement. Why would we not want to include the rest of the world in our noble experiment?

Answer 1

We would have to develop a single global culture first. Meaning similar values, language, concepts of law,.......etc.

And of course religion would have to be eradicated. The great tribal construct. The historical reason behind 95% of all global conflict. Greed being the other 5%.

Don't see any of this happening any time soon. Perhaps in a thousand years, when we evolve further.

Developing a global economy is our first step in tying us all together.

A one world democracy is inevitable though. At some point in time way off.

Answer 2

I totally agree with you, it is wrong and totally unacceptable leaving those troops out there uncatered for, they have one objective, and that's to protect their nations from invasions. The democracts will regret failing the troops and i believe the only way the new strategy can work is if the americans give the new strategy a chance to work and if they (democrats and the americans) stop opposing the president in public bcos when they do, the insurgents.iranians,syrians etc will get the message that all they need do is hold on a little longer in order to fustrate the president and for the democracts to call for the troops withdrawal. I'm not an american but i'm in support of Bush cos he has a great plans for america and he wants to make sure that further 9/11 will be prevented. The Americans needs to trust their president cos they elected him to oversee the affairs of the nation. I think the American should look back to 9/11 and ask themselves one very honest question "Do they want a repeat of 9/11"? The troops must not be allowed to fail in Iraq and Iranians must be denied nuclear power cos that will mean the Unitness of Arab nations and believe me, Isreal, American and the rest of the world are finished. Therefore American pls look before you leap.

Answer 3

There is a difference between a true democracy, which by nature are doomed to fail and, our representative democracy. The representation provides a buffer between the establishment of law and a people who could vote to pass laws which they can't understand the full ramifications of. As far as other nations forming one government, understand this, they are concerned for themselves. Most third world governments are run by dictators and thugs and are concerned with themselves only. Just look at the corruption in the U.N.

Answer 4

This is a joke... right?? You really can't be that dense.
1. Who ever said that the "One World Government" would be a Democracy or even anything resembeling a Democracy?
2. In order for the rest of the world to be included in our "noble experiment" they would have to dump hundreds of petty dictators and despots so that the people could enjoy the right to vote.... not likely to happen
3. Also *ALL* Muslim countries would have to radically change their belief system to allow *any* freedom at all.

Answer 5

I think the states could do better than a central federal government. The federal government is too big and the larger to government, the more corruption. Most states want a secure border and the federal government wants open borders. That alone would be a selling point to me for state governments seceding from the union.

Answer 6

It's a matter of proportion. The more voices raised, the less one single voice can be heard. Those of us afraid on one world government fear that in a world government our voice would be lost with six plus billion peoples voices.

I fear that if their are problems in Iraq and India, the world government would pay more attention there, and not be paying attention to Alaska or Texas. There are more than two billion people in China and India, if they voted to take resources from the USA and give them to someone else, we (the USA) only have a few hundred million people to oppose them.

Answer 7

Actually, that's what the three branches of government is all about. Limiting the power of the central, in this case Federal, government is exactly what our forefathers wanted, and for VERY good reasons.

Answer 8

I would never be in favor of "one world government". Our system works for us while other systems work for other countries. We need to just leave it at that and quit trying to convert the world. We wouldn't want that to happen to our country why would we think any other country would as well?? Different cultures, societies and religions.
