I think that's the immaturity thing at play. Us v them mentality always starts to make itself felt

That's a fair point. The cooperation thing probably works most efficiently for small groups of people. We tend to do less better on the larger scale. Get enough of us in one place and we seem to start bickering over everything.

what better adversity than an entire planet trying to kill you?

But that being said, humanity works better when they have an adversity to fight against

I think the difference is that if we go to mars, there is no ecosystem to destroy

If they brought back the holy roman empire, the wouldn't have to worry about wars or the eu!

What I don't understand is why people imagine transporting our current immaturity out to other worlds would result in any outcome different to what is happening on this planet now. XD

unless they go nuclear, in that case we dont need to worry either xD

i think the opposite, if there is a war coming, the eu (trough nato) will be directly responsible, but dont stress too much over it, a conventional war between nato and russia/china would be such a logistical nightmare that it probably couldnt be fought

eu is crap but it's still better to have it, otherwise there might be another war sometime. Colony on mars would be xtremaly cool

23 Jun 07:47

Hobitt

23 Jun 07:46

EduardoGaray

or we could, you know, switch to a rational method of production xD

23 Jun 07:46

Hobitt

is definitely not something i want to be part of, not to mention the so called trans atlantic treaties with the us that are being negotiated without the people having a chance to say anything on the matter, and so on.

dont worry yestarday me john and amit talked about what is considered good or bad and other philosophy

a shout box isnt the best place to start a debate over something as complex as this xD that depends on what corruption means to you, but the eu is ruled by a bunch of plutocrats who werent elected by anyone and are only concerned about their own power and wealth, at any cost. A government that spends the cash of the citizens on bribing a tyrant like erdogan, so the millions of refugees their adventurism in syria and lybia helped create doesnt make them look bad...
