Do you think one day (by whatever means) people of the world would be part of one nation, and speaking the same language?

I don't believe you guys. Think about it, it is possible, within a few centuries actually. Developed nations have declining populations. And after the whole world industrializes, there will be declining populations. That with the fact of globalization, will be an incentive to pick partners from another race. That would= a unified Earth race. Kinda like America- a melting pot, where people are almost of every type of nationality in one body. We don't need deaths, it can be the opposite, a ton of prosperity.

My bad, I overlooked that.

Or they just feel that others wouldn't want to be united under an American leader, or a Zimbabwean leader, or a Jordanian Leader, or an Uraguaian leader, or a Swiss leader, or a Tajik leader, etc. Perhaps we aren't the jingoists, we just aren't naive to their existence elsewhere.
@ ss3goku, whoever said the whole world is going to industrialize. At this point, with Radical Muslim Fundamentalist revolutions springing up every-which-way (which are reactionary) many countries won't see the light of industrialization, modernization, or shall I dare say, "Westernization".

I think that relations will have to get better with the Islamic world after people realize in 2050 that the conflict has been going on for a 100+ years. Not to mention that i think more and more Muslims are becoming secular, leading to more Turkey like nations. Suppose that even if the Islamic nations don't see industrialization, the majority of the world will still be united, they cover a huge area, yes, but vastly outnumbered.

Not true. They multiply like it's nobody's business! On top of that, they aren't becoming more secular or "Turkey-like", quite the opposite. They are becoming more right-wing and religious. But, perhaps you are right, and there is hope for a good future where they are secular, but it's still very unclear at this point.

Who said the whole world is going to industrialize? We NEED cheap unregulated labor. The third world is going to REMAIN poor into the foreseeable future, if we have anything to do with it.
That alone destroys any hope of a Unified Earth.
Who'd want it anyway? If the Earth was unified, we'd all have to learn to speak Chinese

I guess that explains why we kept the economies and qualities of life in West Germany, Italy, Japan, and Korea down.
Italy has a quality of life?
All the nations you mention were already industrialized, what did you expect us to do, return them to agrarian fiefdom? Industrialization is a one-way street... no country has slipped backwards [that I can immediately think of], with or without the help of a benevolent superpower. Even without us, Europe would have eventually recovered.
I repeat, it's not in our interests to have poor countries industrialize. The double whammy of losing cheap unregulated labor/resources, along with the extra competition for our companies, would do us in. We want markets, not competitors.

my estimate is 4000 years if it ever happens

4000 years? Not likely. Even so, the chances are countries will eventually join together according to their religions. But still, that's probably not going to happen, no, that's DEFINITELY not going to happen. Just think about the wars still going on in the Middle East and Southern Asia.

And so what if you don't have one common language in a country? That's too common.

No way.
There can be, however, a union of nations to work and progress together.

No never. Ever. Doesn't matter how many different alien clans attack us, the entire world will never be united.
