DeadYorick Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Let the machines control the world while we feed their batteries inside cryo tubes with our perfect, false and virtual lives each... Or just wait for Morpheus. I actually laughed at this Anyway I doubt that world peace is achievable. Like the Simpson's has told us if we have World Peace aliens will come and see that the world is finally defenseless and will take over the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corinthian Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Alternately, we may achieve a semblance of World Peace after the Fourth Empire arises and conquers the entire planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk102 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 It has been achieved. Ta da: If we found a source of free energy, peace may be possible. Otherwise I'd tend to agree with Totenkopf about the necessity of genetic/technological manipulation of the population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth InSidious Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 (Whirled peas.) If that pun isn't a good enough reason for WWIII, I don't know what is. Seriously, though, the only kind of world peace I can see happening is a kind of despotic tyranny under a god-emperor. Which isn't a very bright prospect for the future, if you aren't the god-emperor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But look at the bright side, you can become a space marine. Or, if you are enlightened enough, join me in the Eye of Terror. The tender love of the Chaos Gods is available to all.

Taak Farst Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 there will never be peace until the world ends, and I think thats the curse of the humans. I think the world will end because of humans, the excessive use of fire, electric, oil etc. Then, as the earth dies, I think peace will be born. I know I sound weird but you know...

Ctrl Alt Del Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 You can grow that on your home. It's free in that case. We have but another option: Secretly build an underwater city at the Ocean Floor, invite tons of brilliant scientists, beautiful women, generic drug addicts, little girls with brothers, and big gorilla men with sons. Then all we need do is a nice speech, that criticizes not only God concept, but Capitalism and Communism as well while, ironically, our system will be a mix of both and an anarchic government. We call it Rapture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corinthian Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Uh, Rapture was a perfect Capitalist system. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? No, says the man in Washington, it belongs to the poor. No, says the man in the Vatican, it belongs to God. No, says the man in Moscow, it belongs to everyone! I rejected all these answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose Rapture. Also, incidentally, Communism and Capitalism are not forms of government, they're economic styles. It's perfectly possible to have a Communist Democracy, a Capitalist Dictatorship, or a Socialist Monarchy. Incidentally, there are no true communist nations, only nations with Communist Ideals. Even the USSR was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Anyway, I'd call Rapture a Dictatorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven_Q45 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 @Rev7 That´s right. War is natural. War is always. For example a dispute between 2 peoples is war too, only not so brutal. If there is an other earth like planet out there. They make war, too. And it´s STILL war. Look to Afghanistan or Iraq. Well an idea is to a disarm of nuclear weapons. But say this to a country like North Korea or a dictatorial country! Or is war an intention that we destroy ourselves again that it´s possible again a new world can give?

Ctrl Alt Del Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Uh, Rapture was a perfect Capitalist system. As long as you understand the concept of Ryan's "Great Chain" being solely capitalist, then Rapture is the Burgo Maxima. Also, incidentally, Communism and Capitalism are not forms of government, they're economic styles. It's perfectly possible to have a Communist Democracy, a Capitalist Dictatorship, or a Socialist Monarchy. Incidentally, there are no true communist nations, only nations with Communist Ideals. Even the USSR was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Anyway, I'd call Rapture a Dictatorship. Yeah, I know. And thought Ryan didn't "dictate" via laws, he was ultimately the law there.

Corinthian Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? Living by your own steam is pretty much the core ideal of Capitalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 That much is true. And I consider it as the capitalism part of the system he built there. The communism influence come from the concept of the Great Chain: Everyone works together to achieve a common goal of prosperity... But each looks after what matters to them.

Corinthian Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 That's not communism, that's just community. I can set up a neighborhood program to clean up the streets without it being related to Communism in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
