@ThebanPhalanx whats your problem? Would you rush straight foward into a wall of pikes from a greek phalanx and impale yourself? Or would you ask for some archers to hit them first and rush at their flanks or try to get behind?
for your information, rome was a different age. The roman empire didnt use wall of pikes formation anymore. They used the legions

You're a fucking idiot. You obviously don't understand the dynamics of warfare in hellenistic times.
Learn your history, faggot. Learn how Rome conquered the Diadochi's.

who would run into a wall of pikes lol. I sure wouldnt. Id call the commander a moron and ask for more archers

@Crucible52 well societies like america or england have over 60 million people. they're both multicultural as well. so my idea of eventually there will be only one (very) large multicultral society isn't utopian and wouldtn cause civil war just like there isn't civil war nor utopia in todays large societies.

@maxgunn555 on your idea of a one world gov't, the universal homogeneous state. It would be either a utopian society where everyone loves eachother, or it would be the greatest, oppresive dystopian society ever imagined. Giving what u know about humanity, what do you think will happen?? And, when the people realize it, they revolt. Aka, more war. Therefore, I hate the idea of a world gov't or NWO for this very reason.

Πόλεμος πατήρ πάντων.

I like this very much, I think it's something all those uber-nationalists should see before they mindlessly toss around their extreme views on war with loads of nations they dislike. Many of them don't understand war in its entirety and its many effects unless their nationalism is spurred by war they themselves have had to endure. A Korean War veteran once told me never to play those ww2 games and say 'war is cool' because war is a terrible, terrible thing that he'd experienced first person.

@ares1815 we are far but i just think it's inevitable. the governments need a government and thats sort of why there exists the UN or g8 etc so eventually there will be just one government and that defines there being one society. there will always be competition thats the nature of life even under one gov. you could almost say life is defined by things competing amongst another. plants compete for sunlight. facebook is a tool copmletely against gov. riots in london happened coz of facebook/bbm.

@maxgunn555 i tried t'make it look epic just to get atention or else nobody would even notice this vid but lets be real when we talk about war its maybe a common thing for our nature and MAYBE necessary for our development like many MODERN people claim but its still filled with hatred in its every way causing only death destruction seperation etc those are the facts which cannot be argued and people who are on the side of the "necessity of war" these are the people who never have witnessed war

@ares1815 the nature of war is one country's government forcefully causing badness (which is inneficiency in doing things) on another country's government. when we're all under one government wars become impossible.

@maxgunn555 its a utopian thought and never can be realized: New World Order and other theories of one world government are impossible to create because the big question would be under which banner do we unite? No country would agree to such submission because some cultures are too different to coexist under one ruler.

@ares1815 it's a realistic thought and maybe not utopian and your comment is wrong as it's already happening now...more countries are interacting/trading with each other - japan/usa/england/europe -sooon morefrom china. the whole of europe now uses one currency so in that sense they're very almost one country. airplanes cheaper make the world a smaller place as well as facebook/internet. got nothing to do with new world order - it's just a natural progression of life. races mixing e.t.c. future.

@maxgunn555 its a beautiful thought that your describing and my hopes are with you but the facts are harsh, the nations youre talking about are only participating with each other only because of their OWN economical benefits. The world market(Stock Exchange) is a nice example of the competitive nature between the companies. Facebook can also be seen as a tool for the govt just to have more controll over individuals. We are way far from one-rule-govt...

and how do you imagine this one-world-govt. How would the elections go? which countries would be allowed to run for it etc? Would USA agree when a Afghan would be elected as a world president? i dont think so...
