World Peace or No More World Hunger?

"solving" all the violence sounds great...\nThe only sure way to do it would be... total extermination which also would cure the hunger...\n\nSo yeah...lets rest in peace

as long as there are living beings on the plant there will be aggression and war.  War will not end, it will possibly get worse due to potential conditions in nature that will kill hundreds of millions of people in the future --> what would happen if there was a potato-famine like problem in China and India at the same time where they were unable to produce ANY food.  This would be 1/3 of earths population trying to feed themselves.  Both have nuclear weapons.  That is a VERY scary potentiality.

It would be nice to have a world government, I think, along the lines of the UN but with a bit more teeth and backbone, but a world religion?  Not a chance.  I for one would never give up my personal religious views to be subjugated by any of the mainstream religions again.  Of course, if there's another Holy War started up and Christians and Muslims wipe themselves out the way it seems like might happen, then we'll see.  Buddhism is at least close to what I practice.\n\nAs for peace, I dont' think that total world peace will ever be possible.  Humans are too greedy, stubborn and materialistic.

Our grand children or at least our great grandchildren will live in a really ugly world filled with violent people. They tend to get that way when food is scarce, and even the larger animals (bears, panthers, dogs, etc) will consider man a rather choice meal since their prime natural resources will be sorely diminished.\n\nThere is a massive domino effect that most do not even consider. The majority of the so called Civilized Worlds live for now, and tomorrow be damned. Or so it seems.\n\nYou and those (including myself) who are concerned, unfortunately do not make up the majority of whom it requires in stopping the global warming process (or slowing it down). Sad stuff. It really is.

There will NEVER be peace...there is too much greed in the world. \n\nThere will always be someone wanting more than they have...be it, money or power.

Yes.  It was an anti-utopian thing when population control was one of the biggest worries on the planet.  I do not know what year it was made.  I'd guess in the late 60's early 70's.  \n\nIn essence, the point was that the world was running out of food.  People who had outlived their usefulness were encouraged to remove themselves from the poulation in very comfortable and pretty suicide centers (I forget what they called them).  \n\nIn addition to that food was strictly rationed, and very very processed.  There were two types of foods.  Soilent Orange and Soilent Green.  Everyone loved soilent green, it was tastier, but there was a horrible state secret.......  it was people....  from those suicide centers.  \n\nDefinitely a nightmare scenario, but thankfully, with genetic engineering and plant sciences, we have overcome that food problem, and are all going to die out from complications of global warming or nuclear war rather than this particular overpopulation scenario.  I guess we could starve, but state sponsored cannibalism is probably not on the menu.  Then again, I never thought the US would go for  GITMO or the NSA domestically spying, either.

I think it's better to spend the money and help feed 3rd world countries instead of exploring things even though it might be useful.\nWhat we don't know yet won't hurt us but hunger is what we do know and we should try to fix it.

no.  we have plenty of food anyway, if we distribute it better.  We also have better farming techniques etc for growing high yields of food.  Just look at how obesity levels are rising - there is no limited food.\n\nChina only has the power to do this because they are communist - everyone is sub-ordiinate to the state.\n\n\n\nWhat is people's problem with India? They are the largest democracy in the world, with far less corruption than in places like USA and the people living there are generally peaceful, fun loving Hindus.  They haven't done anything to anyone...

1. yes, it's naive for us to say that we are alone in this universe as big as ours.\n2. yes, too much second-hand experience and weird auras felt\n3. definitely. we aren't so bad right now, but i do believe that there will be a time when virtually most starvation, poverty will be reduced. The only thing i don't believe would be that our environment would be as clean as before in the future.\n4. definitely.

The world system as you know it will end with fire. It will burn up. In other words it will be recycled just as anything is that is burned with fire, changed and put to another use.\n\nIs that simple enough. When, only God knows. \n\nThe nice thing is you do not have to worry about it because there is a way out for you. Read a bible in your native tongue and find the answer. If you can not email me. cjkeysjr@yahoo.com.ph and I will give you my opinion as simple as I can in such a way a little child can understand. That is a promise. \n\nAfter that the rest is up to you to do or not do OK.

Hi kishacheyenne,\n\n  My answer to this is to read Terry's last sentence in his response to your question. Sorry I couldn't help you out on this one. Next time ask something a little easier to answer, like how do we stop wars and bring peace to our world. I understand your anger. The average American  will just have less food on the table to feed their family, while the "fat cats" keep getting fatter!!!

No, because everyone would actually want world peace. 9/11, the embassy bombings, the Cole, London, Spain.... these show clearly, that peace is not at the forefront of the enemies mind. \n\nSo, no.

I'd end world hunger. There's absolutely no excuse for it. Americans already consume the majority of the world supply of grain. And we definitely don't need that much food.

We have no idea- The definition of "optimum" would be optimum for who?  For the rest of life, excluding chickens, pigs, and dogs, a human population of zero would be fine.  If we had 10 billion, then 10 billion and one would be great for that last one born.  If you are asking what is the maximum *sustainable* population, that unfortunately can only be answered when you pass it and discover that you are now past the max.  H G Wells estimated that when we got over 2 billion, there would be mass starvation.  Other later said for sure anything past 5 billion would cause mass starvation.  We are now near 7 billion and have a huge overall food surplus (of course, thats just food, not addressing energy, clean water, etc).  We may be able to sacrifice wetlands, tropical forests, etc, and get even more food, though its doubtful if the ecosystem could handle it for long.
