Unified Race, Utopia or Not?

Are you more likely to bicker someone whom you have no sort of connection to or someone who is very much like you?

Well, neither, but I think I get the gist of what you're saying.

My argument, however, is that those changes will be purely superficial. There will be plenty of other issues we will find to bicker over. Such as the length of an angel's wing. And it will be just as brutal as it is now. Assuming that human nature hasn't changed entirely, which is possible. But biology as we know it would not select for those characters.

Even with someone who is genetically no different from you and is raised in practically the same environment you will bicker. For instance, take identical twins.

We are programmed to bicker.

That is an individual and an individual though. The bickering between an individual and an individual is mostly harmless, anyway. When you take a very large group of people and it starts bickering with another very large group of people, that's when the conflict gets serious.

Ahh, I see what you mean.

Well, under your premise I suppose we may attain temporary peace when everyone agrees with each other. How we would get to that point, I don't know. However, if we do get to that point I forsee a rapid divergence and we once again slump back into our little groups that fight amongst each other.

Well arguments are just trying to findout who/what is right.

In the individuals sense, arguments are not really a bad thing. If it weren't for arguments, we'd never have gotten anywhere, as far as science is concerned. If the original scientists hadn't argued with each other they would have never known what was right.

However, as a great man once said, "War does not determine who is right, it determines who is left."

Arguments over things such as race and religion do not serve humanity in any good way at all, and thus need to be eliminated if we ever hope to show the true potential of the human race. One way to eliminate such arguments is to eliminate what the arguments are over.

Most wars, as far as I know, are over religion or land. If there's one unified group, there's absolutely no need to go to war with another country to take their land, as such a thing would not be possible if there were not another country.

Then there are things lesser than wars, such as racism and discrimination based on many factors such as race, religion, sex, etc. They might not be as serious as war, but they are not as simple as an argument between two people. They would equally be eliminated if there were not such differences.

Very true, though I am still a believer in God and a higher being essence, and until that is proven wrong, myself and billions of other people are probably never going to change

I added some more to my post, by the way.

And do remember, I'm talking about forced change, not us asking you to stop believing what you believe.

I'm talking, strip your identity, and if you resist or fight, you get eliminated. At that point, you don't matter any more.

It would most definately be a very rough time, but in the long run it would be benificial.
