I believe we CAN end world Hunger, it IS in our power to do so.
If the population approaches such that the world cannot sustain it then measures can
be implemented to slow population
growth. Such measures have been implemented in highly overpopulated regions such as
China already with a good measure of
success.
And no I do not believe that mankind is hopelessly violent. I cannot believe that. if
I did there would be nothing to live
for since as a race Humans would be extinct very soon. if disease and nature did not
kill us, we would kill ourselves. So no
I totally disagree that we violence is in our nature and thus we are doomed to die.
And again, No...I think for us to reach the stars and successfully colonise other
planets that things would have had to
change drastically on our planet earth in terms of our own inter-human relations for
the resources to be expended for such a
venture in the first place. You would notice that today,with the current political and
social climate the world space
exploration organisations are severaly short of funds.

While I don't really have an opinion on Libertarianism, I do have a few
opinions about human nature ..
You can't end 'world hunger' anyway. No matter how much food there is, the
population will always grow to push the limits of the food supply. True,
people are starving and dying and we have enough to share here, but no
matter how much food we share, the population will just grow to meet the
supply and you're right back where you started. It's what keeps populations
in line in the wild (that and predators). People don't have any predators,
so the only thing to limit their population are limited resources. I'm not
saying we shouldn't help, but the problem itslef will never be solved. Even
the countries that have plenty will run into this problem one day.
True, but that's not likely to happen either. Fighting, it seems, is in our
nature.
Well .. I think if we can go without killing ourselves off long enough, we
will eventually leave this planet, but it won't be star trek, it will be the
same old crap just spread across different planets and not just confined to
one.
