I think they'll actually be MORE wars in the future then there have ever been.

[theripper88]

ok, I'll bite. Name two major countries that can go to war without destroying their intertwined economies. Terrorism may increase, but not nations declaring war against each other.

[LadySimmons95]

what was the surprise ending????

[theripper88]

There will be peace among nations.

[martin1homas]

wars will end when they will not be economically feasible to do them. Increasing weapon power make them less profitable. That is why now we have not major wars, not to say that there are not horrible wars. But not as big as in the past. As simple as that.

[theripper88]

Of course. When our economies are all intertwined and the people of the world consider it a natural "right" to live and work anywhere then war becomes incomprehensible. What we will be left with is pockets of social unrest from those who desire a radical change in the evolving world culture and their target will be the innocents.

no matter how much technology there is, there will always be wars

[drrickh]

a lot of these facts are wrong. in the real video Myspace would be the 5th largest country in between Brazil and Indonesia. google searches are now 37 billion per month

[BigDTexas]

Oh, I see, with technology, peace will happen.

Is that why Facebook and Twitter are currently being touted as THE MOST IMPORTANT factors in the overthrow of the Egyptian government and the revolutions in Libya, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Tunisia, Iran, and other places? Peace happens?

[SonOfRojBlake]

All the stuff about MySpace being like a country, and how many visits it gets, would be a lot more "woo, scary" if MySpace hadn't completely tanked since this video was made. It's practically quaint. Nobody I know uses MySpace any more.

[Alfonzo97]

what song is this?

[Harlequinification]

no offence mate. good theories and all but

1. the government LIES to you ALL the time

2. your video making sucks

@theripper88 Are you retarded or something?

If your going to war with terrorists you cant fight them face to face. Their objective is in their name, if your worried about them doing things to your towns cities and countries then they have achieved their goal.

[anremmert]

way off topic, but what's this music?

[AmMellow]

@theripper88 You can't trust the powers! Why do they have power? Why do they have money? Because they are selfish snatchers. Your scary. I want the people of the world to unite, but if you think the selfish bastards are going to give up their piece of the pie then your plain wrong. Inequality suits the powerful and they have the power to sustain that state of inequality. Namely by telling you it's pockets of social unrest that are the source of the inequality in your life. I say BOLLOCKS!

[AmMellow]

@theripper88 Even with all the info on the internet you still haven't done enough research to find out that commerce is the source of wars. But you've highlighted a point. Which is that even if every human being had access to all the knowledge on earth through the internet... doesn't mean they'd be able to absorb it all or choose to. Having said that, it's worth you researching this because it's important and impacts us all. T'internet can tell you, just ask the right questions!!

[flamenuggz420]

@shovelbum2012 I agree. In america, we spend more on war than we do on any other service, including education and healthcare.
