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

oats · 03-12-2014, 12:08 AM

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?

SiK · 03-12-2014, 12:10 AM

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?

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

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.

Certain · 03-12-2014, 01:06 AM

@oats over freedom.

oats · 03-12-2014, 01:08 AM

I don't get it :-/

you high bro?

Certain · 03-12-2014, 01:09 AM

@oats, you're embarrassing me and yourself.

oats · 03-12-2014, 01:13 AM

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?"

Inno · 03-12-2014, 01:17 AM

I think an epidemic of cataclysmic proportion should do it.

Like super aids or some shit.

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

oats · 03-12-2014, 01:19 AM

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
