what do you think is the single most important cause for humankind to unite over?
 

like, if you could choose one thing that all people across the planet would rally together to address, and it would magically happen no matter what, what would that cause be?

Alien attack....People never rally together more or become more united then when under attack or at a time of war

If we all had to work together to preserve the element of oxygen. To breathe or not to breathe?

R!CAN!?!?

At first I thought this sounded good....then I started to think how other countries would only work for themselves because who gives a fuck about the next guy(country). It has to be something that the entire world would be FORCED to work together on....Which is why I said an alien attack

@oats

Are you familiar with the planetary boundaries?

@oats

No. Atmospheric?

@oats

this thread reeks of "their" programming.

I will have none of it.

@Certain are you saying that I am the single most important cause for humanity to unite over? I know I've been helping with the mags here and there, but you don't need to overdo it.
@Vulgar some, yes. The full list includes land use, biodiversity loss, atmospheric aerosols, chemical pollution, climate change, ocean acidification, ozone depletion, nitrogen cycle, phosphorous cycle, and fresh water use. it was developed and quantified by a coalition of scientists in Stockholm, who set limits for each of those as the "planetary boundaries" for stable living conditions on Earth.

no, the title asks what do YOU think. it's a reflection of your values. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

@oats over freedom.

I don't get it :-/

you high bro?

@oats, you're embarrassing me and yourself.

are you talking about my prepositional use? that not only did I end in a preposition (shocking to most speakers of Queen's English), but that I should have used the word "around" instead of "over?"

I think an epidemic of cataclysmic proportion should do it.

Like super aids or some shit.

Hush, little oatsy, don't say a word.

the question is not what do you think would cause humanity to unite.

the question is what would you like to see humanity unite over? if you could magically make it happen

I would like to see humanity unite over banning Fireball whisky.

Oh well juat say that next time.


I change my answer to marijuana

Haven't read thread but drugs.

-Attack from outer species

-World Ending Catasrophe ABOUT to happen...I.e the sun diminishing it's power. This one would be over time though. So if Earth knows the star will dwindle and die say in the next 100-200 years, we as a race, not nation (s) would bring about the building of a ship to seek life on another planet quickly. While that ship(s) seek(s) We would also build a "massive carrier" (Noahs Ark) to transport the lucky thousands (1 percenters)

a. This also includes the loss, or need of any element needed for life much like the already mentioned Planetary boundaries I assume.

b. Now that I think of it, there would actually be more looting then togetherness considering the other 99% of the population, but still, china, USA and other wealthy nations would pull there resources to build Noah's Ark.



I think that is it though. Literally

Fuck, now you change the question or clarify.


I would like the world to unit over the fact we are useless "users" of Mother Earth that can't replenish shit. Yet we reproduce faster then ever, sooner then later she will reject our doings and start a new cycle via Ice Age, Polar Shift or simple flooding.

Sooner then Later. Volcano, tornado, tsunami////Super storm basically. Earth Quake. Pick your poison, all of the above likely.

Shut up, @oats.

The world should unite to get me unbanned at RB

and also that robbery oats stole from me 5 years ago would be stricken from the record. Because oatmeal os a cheating faggot.

Then the world will be rite.

There will never be world peace on this planet until the New Jerusalem.

long bar and short bar text battlers can live in harmony

My everlasting freedom.

Rally the troops.

Btw there will b drugs.

renewed interest/funding in space travel
