I am not trying to say one language is better then the other so we all should learn it. It doesn't matter if it is English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, whatever.

But wouldn't it be amazing if some how we were able to pick one language and everyone on earth must learn this language so we could freely communicate.

Would you be open to this?

but then we'd have to hate people for a reason other then their language :( I dislike that factor, but I like the idea of new hate.

Trust me, I've found that enforcing rules world wide is much harder than you would think.

It isn't like I said we should only speak one language but make it mandatory to have one universal language. You could speak as many languages is as you wan't.

English I think is the closest we are ever getting to a universal language.

It sure would make things easier. I think there'd be a lot of fuss over how the language would sound though and I don't think it'd last very long.

English IS the international business language. Why do you think the Chinese and Indian governments are so keen on people learning.

I certainly agree that everyone being able to understand everyone else would probably be a good thing. All we need now is to discover the Babel Fish and we'll be good. ;)

I don't really want an universal language, but I want the world to convert to the metric system.

Same here. Like the Babel Fish (I think that's what it's called) from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
