Politics, Economics, Religion, Literature, Media, Food, etc., etc., people fight over EVERYTHING.

So I ask you, NS community. . .

Can people (and by people I mean the entire damn world) ever agree on something? And if we can, what will it be?

For bonus points: If we got the whole world to have 1 political/economic/religious mindset, what would it be? And, for the hard part, why?

Go!

I think we can agree that humans need oxygen to live. Well, except for this guy. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=509547)

Damn. I can't think of anything.

We can agree that Antarctica has the lowest crime rate in the world. :)

No, impossible. I doubt we could get the entire world to agree with the proposition that the dominantly believed reality is the real one.

See! No matter what, there is someone out there who will disagree!

I bet even in this thread people will disagree with eachother. . .

And what's this about Antartica? Those Peguins are quite shifty characters. . . haven't you heard about the fish racket they got going on down there?

We can agree that Antarctica has the lowest crime rate in the world. :)

Absence of crime rate is not a crime rate! So, you're simply wrong.

Damn, we can't even agree on that!? :eek:

Well, we can all agree that the ocean is salty. Right? Right?

We can agree that certain things are certain things:

*points at himself*

This is me

*points at badger*

That is badger

*points at MTAE and his ilk*

That lives under bridge

The entire world? Nope not one damn thing.

I believe we all agree that, no, we cannot get everyone to agree.

Congo, what's salty to you may be sweet to someone else. . .

and what you call a badger could've been called a tooky-wooky-chakala by another person

I believe we all agree that, no, we cannot get everyone to agree.

You win the thread. :D

If a single crime is commited there, that pretty much catapults Antarctica to first place in continental crime rates.

Everyone in the world can agree with that? Too many people would agree with MTAE to believe that he is a troll, and I think the crazies might disagree with you being you or that the badger is a badger.

Actually, the ocean around here is made up of both salt and fresh water. I believe it's called "breached," but I'm unsure of the English terminology for it.

possibly. . .but i started the thread and as its creator, what if I say Curious Inquiry doesn't win the thread? HaHA! Disagreed again!

We don't need to all agree on everything, we just have to learn to accept that other people won't always agree with us.

Fair enough.

But the badger is the badger until I eat it and I challenge any man to tell me otherwise...grrrr

That was what I was thinking of. "Bräckt" in Swedish, so you can see why I veered towards "breached."

Yea, but the challenge was to find something that we would all agree on, not accept that we all have different views

Pretty much everyone thinks Scientology is a crazy cult I believe...

We can't get everyone to agree on something unless everyone was raised from birth with the exact same idealogy and that's just not going to happen, period.

Unless, of course, we kill off most of humanity then the remaining--say, 10,000 or so--are all indoctrinated.

Everyone knows we live on earth! AGREE? I WIN GIVE ME SOME BEER!!!! :cool:
