When is our world going to be safe and at peace?

Question

Please no sarcastic, satirical answers.

Answer 1

I would hate to say it,but probably when something catastrophic knocks the human population back down to about 500 million. But then again it would probably just start all over again. The reason I say 500 million is because that population size is supposed to be the perfect amount for a healthy earth in harmony with nature.

Answer 2

probably in the future, when President Bush and Hiliary Clinton either get shot or die from an injury or die from old age :)

Answer 3

I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but probably never.  Did you know right now that there are over 30 conflicts going on?  Yea, the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine/Israel get most of the headlines, but there are wars involving other countries going on all over the world.  Unfortuantely, human nature doesn't seem to change.

Answer 4

Maybe when only the  c o c k roaches are left alive.

Answer 5

hate to say but #1 has something...there are to many people and most of them are wacked.

Answer 6

Unfortunately the world will never be safe and at peace. It's human nature to hate that which is different, or want what the other guy has, or try to prove they are right by hitting harder. It has been that way since humans first found themselves on Earth. It's the reason that species survive, strangely enough. You have to be willing to fight in order to survive. If you don't fight, you die either by being killed or by having essential things taken from you (food, home, etc).

Answer 7

It never has unless you believe the bible and God made earth peaceful. Safe has never been a choice. Eat or be eaten. Life goes on. THe suns UV radiation is part of the problem.

Today here is what we know:  many of mankind’s advancements cause earth surface to warm, destroy the ozone layer, kill off endanger species, heat cities, and in some way cause more destruction.  Blacktop (roads and parking lots), buildings, air pollution (causes lung and other diseases), deforestation, duststorms (which increase hurricanes and cyclones and cause lung diseases), fires (cause pollution, mud slides, and deforestation), refrigerants (like CFC's), solvents (including benzene destroy the ozone layer raising skin cancer rates) and plastics; cars, airplanes, ships and most electricity production (causes pollution including raised CO2 levels) are human problems we need to fix to keep life on earth sustainable!  The federal government needs to adopt a pollution surcharge to balance the field and advance new technologies. We must pay the real price of oil (petrochemicals) including global warming, cleanup and for health effects. But with that we must understand we have never seen what is now happening before. CO2 has never lead to temperature change, but temperature change has led to increases in CO2. The models have to be made as we go along with little evidence! The result is:  change is on the way, we just do not know what changes. But again adding a small amount of CO2 to the atmosphere enlarges the earths sun collection causing warming; increase water in the atmosphere and they form clouds cooling earth but causing flooding. Even natural events are warming earth and causing destruction. The sun has an increased magnetic field causing increases in earthquakes (more destruction), volcanoes (wow, great destruction), and sun spots. Lighting produces ozone near the surface (raising air pollution levels). But humans have destroyed half of the wetlands, cut down nearly half of the rain forest, and advance on the earths grasslands while advancing desertification which increases duststorms. The USA Mayor's have taken a stand and I believe are on the right track, we can have control and can have economic growth. With the peak of oil in the 1970’s, the peak of ocean fishing in the 1980’s, humans must stop procrastinating and make real changes to keep earth sustainable including in the energy debate, finance and regulation. The sun is available to produce energy, bring light to buildings and makes most of human’s fresh water. Composting is the answer to desertification. New dams are the answer to fresh water storage, energy and cooling earth by evaporation, we need many small one all over (California needs 100 by 2012 and has not even started).

President Bush has made a choice of energy (ethanol) over food and feeding the starving people around the world; this is a choice China has rejected.

Answer 8

all you hippis and pessimists need to read a few history books.

our world is the safest and most at peace it's ever been right now!

Answer 9

when each and everyone of us come together as civiled people and want world peace

Answer 10

about 9 years ago, people never locked there doors, closed there windows,locked the car, or set up an burglar alarm system. now a days, people have to make sure that no one can even come NEAR their homes! our world is not becoming safe, and that's why our police population has grown!we are never safe, even if alone.

Answer 11

Never.  World peace is an ideal we hypothesize because there have been times in our history when we have not been at war.
