Is One World Goverment so bad after all?

What about the Galactic Republic? It lasted for a long time.

How come when it’s us, it’s an abortion, and when it’s a chicken, it’s an omelette?

Well one difference is we're not eating the fetus

Countries and nations don't do nothing but separate us, us humans.

Nations are just lines on a map. What separates humans from other humans as well as animals is genetics. Sound mind in a sound body in a sound society in a sound environment must be the goal of any worldwide government, and genetics determines those eligible for citizenship, not nationality.

Thank you Mini-Me for being one of the few people making SENSE here.

Unfortunately there is no law against trolls which this thread has plenty of.

Thanks Unfortunately, the OWG proponents here seemed to ignore that post rather than go through the pains of rebutting it (or conceding the argument).

What about the Galactic Republic? It lasted for a long time.

It lasted for a long time because it's easy for a fictional story to say that "this lasted for a million bajillion years." However, the inevitable happened, and much later in the timeline than it would in real life:

I mentioned earlier in the thread:

Let's use your Star Wars example, by the way - you briefly made mention of the Galactic Republic. However, did you forget that, because there was only one Galactic Republic that needed to be taken over, Senator Palpatine was able to consolidate power and create the Galactic Empire? This would not have been nearly so easy to achieve if he had to take control of the 1001 Galactic Republics.
