The Earths Biggest Problems

[Kuldeep]

Most of the rulers seems to be fed up of religion fanatacies, but irony is that regligions are deepest rooted. The point is how to take common factors of all the religion and make the whole thing as Universal Religion.

=Kuldeep;496623]As a ruler: 1. I would try to be human and teach whole human race humanism. Elaborating the statement, I would remove selfishness, ask everybody to love others and live for others !! 2. Obviously second thing would be ban all religions.

But who's going to take over the world Scott?

Quote by: Darebirth Actually, the main reason the U.S. went after the communists was because communism takes away a given nation's freedom of religion. Freedom of religion is something that the U.S. was founded on, so you can see how this would be a personal insult. My idea is to reduce the extremism in religion. Of course there will always be a reason that a person would want to provoke a war, but as I said before, without the people's support, their efforts would be futile.

The Vietnam war was about power. The U.S. felt a need to stop the spread of states easily influenced by the Soviets and Red China. Religion was part of why americans hated communism, but the cold war was a conflict of nations for power.

When one turns truly human, lust for wealth & power would seize to exist. As the over all ruler of the world has turned human himself , he should be able to control one and all. Characteristics of the set rules would be fixed by the human ruler as solid dictator. Every body has to follow by order of the ruler.

Very simple, the Ruler itself...MYSELF obviousdly

In the opinion of a capitalist. For a communist it would be liberating and helpful especially in a poor country such as korea. At least that is how it will be seen. Capitalism v. Communism you see?

My idea is to reduce the extremism in religion.

That isn't possible unless you want to kill them all which isn't possible. If you want to kill them all that in itself is EXTREMISM. You found your own excuse for war.

Of course there will always be a reason that a person would want to provoke a war, but as I said before, without the people's support, their efforts would be futile.

Religion is not the soul support for war. America for example a pluristic society with many religions already can't use religion as an excuse. We used fear and anti-"terrorism".

The Vietnam war was about power. The U.S. felt a need to stop the spread of states easily influenced by the Soviets and Red China. Religion was part of why americans hated communism, but the cold war was a conflict of nations for power.

Thank you for pointing that out. All war is for power in one party or the other. So no matter the excuses religious or political there will be war!

When one turns truly human, lust for wealth & power would seize to exist. As the over all ruler of the world has turned human himself , he should be able to control one and all. Characteristics of the set rules would be fixed by the human ruler as solid dictator. Every body has to follow by order of the ruler.

You would no longer be human if you no longer had lust. You would be some other being that does not belong in flesh. Animals are animals. To deny their own nature would be to deny their flesh. Self-control under these conditions is another thing. Believing the emotion will no longer exist is complete insanity.

Perhaps lust for wealth and power are part of what makes us truly human? Perhaps they are the things that make us human.

[Anmon]

Inhuman more like it.
If you want to feel truly human, give all your money and possessions away, except the clothes you wear, and have power over no one.

[Gods_Mercenary]

But the fact that very few people would ever do that makes the point that lust for gold and power is part of human nature. We define what it is to be human, not some abstract principle of what human and inhuman are. And from what I see, a good deal of the human dynamic is driven by a desire for wealth and power.

Thats just falling to the temptations of greed, anyone can pull up and say thats not right if they try.

Thats just falling to the temptations of greed, anyone can pull up and say thats not right if they try.

Well obviously falling to the temptation of greed is a human quality. Have you given away all your possessions save your clothes? Obviously not, or you wouldn't be talking to us.

They can, but they don't, tendency defines human nature, not ability.

[Kuldeep]

Thanks Anmon for telling what I was to tell in reply to Gods !!

If Gods is explaining the human nature and not willing to understand the benefits of humanity then, I am to absolutely say nothig...since it is because of human selfish nature the world is in present helm of affairs. Let one day a good human with true of his nature finish the whole world exploding few nuclear bombs.

I would never like to be Ruler of such a world if I to be led by present human nature and not by humanity.

Greed may be a human quality, but its not a good one.

Quote by: Darebirth Here's a question for all of you. If you were the ruler of the world, what two things would you do to solve all of the world's problems?

I think getting rid of those pesky humans would solve most of the problems . . .

[Darebirth]

Quote by: Technosoul Great idea - outlaw censorship of any kind and ban religious extremism from have their right to freedom of speech. Anyone notice a slight contradiction in that?

I didn't say "ban" religious extremism. Religious extremism is an idea so it can't be banned. However, it is an idea that causes most of the violence and tensions in our world today.

Once again, my non-censorship idea would put every world view on an equal level, and no society would be allowed to only give one side of a story. I beleive that if a person is honestly presented with a myriad of ideas from a neutral perspective, very few people would choose religious extremism.

My idea was not to ban these views but rather to put them on the same level as all other ideas.

How would we solve problems then? Do you suppose that we have universal ignorance?

But it is a possiblity that many would be angered that there would be no censorship. I believe this would cause conflict.
