Cyberwarfare.
Nuclear warfare.
North Korea.
Quote:England for example isn't as divided as it used to be, its unlikely that lancashire will start a bloody war with yorkshire again in my life time, or that england will wage war with scotland or wales or the french or germans. Europe is more united.
Won't it just be fascinating when someone stabs everyone else in the back?
Quote:The point I'm making is that people can become more united without creating new reasons to start war with one another. The human race is probably doomed to start wars with each other all the time yeh but it doesn't mean nothing can improve with changes. So i think in theory if everyone were the same race I don't think war would change i admit, but on a domestic level i think violence would decrease.
Sure, people can become so. People can also find entirely new things to go to war over (oil). I didn't say nothing improves with changes, but people still feel their emotions regardless of whether they can justify them or not... losing justification for an already present violent outburst does not make it any less a violent outburst.
If everyone were the same 'race', you'd be looking at additional violence resultant from homogeny. I know that if I am ever to find the 7 people identical to me on this planet, I'll probably kill them

Now let`s talk about race!
Yes, like the nuclear arms race. That one's my favorite

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
