Why Do People Freak Out About The Idea Of A Global Government?

[Institutional Control]

I think the Romans did a pretty good job of ruling the world.

whatever, if there is one thing we can all agree on it's that the world was much better off after the fall of their empire

They built aqueducts throughout the empire.  And arches. How can you hate on anyone who invented arches? I think the only negative I can think of is that whole Jesus "incident".

Why was it better? Was it better because people could establish their own rulers/government?

Well, the president would always be Chinese. Not necessarily a negative, but something to consider.

I would rather see it like European soccer, with a super elite group of former countries that you have to play your way into/can be kicked out of.

Of course, I also think we should run goEMAW this way, demoting posters who had a bad run to ksf until they play their way back up.

I don't think we should be making assumptions about what the makeup of the global govt. would be. I think everything is on the table.

Okay. I should probably try to follow along better before I just type whatever thought enters my head. That would drastically improve my bbs style. :dobbersettingincorner:

Are we talking popular vote? If we had two rounds and the option to select ranked choices, I think we could avoid some basic problems.

Also, Netflix and ESPN3 everywhere!

I'd put a Bush in charge of making sure we always won world President.

[michigancat]

Obama would win in a landslide with or without help from a Bush. Only weird Americans hate him, lol.

the ottomans did a bang up job.

no, fight wars for control of the global presidency.  the winning country (or team of rich people) gets to pick the president by any means they choose.

Have you seen how corrupt foreign governments are? Makes our look like an ethics foundation.

So how does this help Obama and the Bilderburgs?  I mean, corrupt foreign governments taking our loot screws both of them right in the face.
