Title: what would the world be like if....
Firecross - June 13, 2004 01:16 PM (GMT)
everything was shared without boundaries and there was no currency
personally, I think it would be the absolute and total downfall of society as we know it

A broken Unification system? It wouldn't work. At least, it wouldn't work for humans. The world would fall into anarchy, with human's natural sense of greed.

| everything was shared without boundaries |
A rebellion would arise, with two or three countries arguing about the amount of land, or trade, or resources each was getting. A war would start inevitably, and that would deplete our resources even faster.
Natural resources, again, would start arguments, for they would have to be shared/divided equally, to avoid arguments and wars.
If there was a war, and it included the United States and another (most likely Eastern) country, the ABM(Anti-Ballistic Missile) treaty would prevent the use of the very weapons and the adequate defense against such weapons, and we would be bombed to hell.

| there was no currency |
The world would fall backwards into the early stages of trade, which has its ups and downs.

in a way, i think it would be better......there wouldn't be any evil dictators *coughcoughgeorgebushcoughcough*, and there wouldn't be any countries thinking that the were superior than others, since there wouldn't be any countries. i dont know how to explain this; i think it would be really good, but it would also have some bad things (ex: no set teams for olympics)

Call them factions.

The Former US would claim everything as theirs and when the war started the planet would blow up (missiles would be aimed at silos causeing a chainreation.)
Karn - June 13, 2004 08:56 PM (GMT)
lets put it this way with the weapons we currently have it would suck cuz every where would be bombed but if we only had the use of old fashion weapons (as in no guns or missiles) it would just be chaotic and another government wold set up again

Humans are just too irrational for it to work. Look what we did to Communism. It was a great idea until the greedy bastards (e.g. Stalin, Lenin, Mao Zedong etc.) ruined it.

AHHH AT'S A COMMIE!! RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!

Durendal - June 13, 2004 10:45 PM (GMT)
yeah and i live in hawii! lol Communistic!
Axem Titanium - June 13, 2004 11:36 PM (GMT)
Didn't you people learn anything in History class (not that I learned much either)? Communism worked until the people at the top decided they were "more" equal than the little peasant people so they deserved more money.
'Ivan - June 13, 2004 11:48 PM (GMT)
Yes, yes, Communism is a very good idea in theory, but human nature is what fails it.

it would work.... that is IF we didn't have all the wierd types of people listed below
1. despots
2. thieves
3. murderers
4. rapists
5. queers
if we could live in a world without them... we would be fine... but I'm thinking.... when rules are set up... people break them... but in some countries... you can drink any age so drunk driving isn't a problem because they think of acohol like soda almost... so its no big deal thus they do not bother making a big deal about it.... HOWEVER, making drinking legal in all ages here after all the years its been banned... would become chaos... so i we had a country with one rule in the first place... we would have the perfect civilization.... this one rule would be don't do something bad and if anyone broke this rule, they would have a trial to decide if it was truly bad or not... then the world could live in peace... of course the only way to do this now would be to either go back in time and prevent government or just erase every person's mind in the world of government.... which could only happen in Harry Potter :P
Durendal - June 14, 2004 01:05 PM (GMT)
Yeah and there was a completely uncorrupted government, EX: we took kids and raised them from birth to be completely impartial. and the death sentance was reinstated, i'd like 2 see someone steal something when they'd have 2 face death.
Lionheart - June 15, 2004 10:16 PM (GMT)
to durendal:hmmmm.....well some ppl are just stupid.......
to sara:and george bush rocks. hopefully we will get rid of alot more REAL dictators. (start paying taxes then tell me what you think about bush)......
Durendal - June 16, 2004 03:15 AM (GMT)
I say we take everyone out of england and put all the stupid and retarded people there! and the smarts can ahve the rest!
Axem Titanium - June 16, 2004 02:59 PM (GMT)
I could make a really mean joke right now involving hypothetically saying you wouldn't have to move anything if you wanted to do that but I'm not that mean and I don't think it's true either.
Anyway, England is big enough for all the stupid people.
Lionheart - June 16, 2004 06:31 PM (GMT)
i think you mean isnt..........

*cough* alot of people i know dont like him, i guess because we've only seen war and stuff since he's been president. also, since he's been "fixing" Iraq and other places in the middle east, the gas prices here are crazy high and alot of people arent going to be able to afford going on vacation this summer.... :( i guess everyone's entitled to their own opinions, tho....
Lionheart - June 16, 2004 07:14 PM (GMT)
.....high gas prices? i saw gas for $1.73 a gallon(today) they are coming back down. but if we would be allowed to drill in alaska it might help some more.
.....and iraq needed fixing. unless torture chambers and rape rooms are ok. not to mention the mass graves.......
and to answer the "prison scandal" thing be4 you bring it up i think we should give the ppl who are responsible for it like 5 years in iraq prisons........
sara13987 - June 16, 2004 07:18 PM (GMT)
thats low~!~!~ its $4.50 a gallon here~!!~!~!~! <_<
yeah, its good that its fixed now, but...i dunno....why did they go after Afganistan then? its all so confusing, i wish that there was just peace.... :(
Lionheart - June 16, 2004 07:25 PM (GMT)
afganistan was because thats where alkida(spelling?) was based. and we didnt really want to have them hit us again.
as for gas...4.50 you live in cal?
.......wow thats all i can say.......
Lionheart - June 16, 2004 07:26 PM (GMT)
oh and we are trying to bring peace...real peace to the middle east.....
sara13987 - June 16, 2004 07:26 PM (GMT)
me? live in cali? hahahaha :lol: im a canadian, a newfie to be exact~!~
Lionheart - June 16, 2004 07:33 PM (GMT)
well then you should be after your leaders......for not pressuring opec to pump more oil thus decreasing gas prices.
sara13987 - June 16, 2004 07:36 PM (GMT)
....even if i did, i wouldnt make much of a difference.... all of NFLD's resources (including the oil field) are being drained off us so we're millions or even billions of dollars in debt. i guess the prices isn't really alot since they have to ship the gas and oil and stuff here.....
Lionheart - June 16, 2004 07:45 PM (GMT)
ya plus your dollar is worth less than ours.....ack well..... CUT YOUR BUDGETS YOU BIG FAT POLITICIANS(to all politicians, everywhere. who overspend)
Durendal - June 16, 2004 07:58 PM (GMT)
right now its like a quarter less... but yeah the gas prices here were like 85+ cents a LETER! thats quite a bit.
alana136 - June 21, 2004 03:59 PM (GMT)
Simpley we would probley all de-evolve (if that can even happen) and start living in trees with the monkeys ^_^ hehe... ^_^ ...monkey...anyway. Then after time the earth would be cured from polution and stuff because humans are no longer there to make it. than after more time humans would come back having a new chance to start the world... but we would most likley screw it up and end up back where we started...
sara13987 - June 21, 2004 04:01 PM (GMT)
