To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Globalization & Americanization

Do you support globalization and Americanization? In other words, do you support the movement towards earth one day being under a single secular democratic government as has been depicted in science fiction media to great extent over the past century?

Never going to happen, just because governments and leaders don't want to loose their power and religion won't allow this to happen. But would a single governing body be better? Who knows maybe, depending on the checks/balances in the government.

I hope you don't mind me making all of these polls?

I strongly support globalization because this should solve allot of problems. It is highly unlikely this will happen anytime soon because of religion and different points of view humanity has. I strongly feel against Americanization, because of the simple reason that the word alone is IMHO the complete opposite of globalization. I'm not insulting Americans here (at least not intentionally), but the term just rubs me the wrong way...

Never happen just look at the EU, 27 member states and first time Europe been that united since the Roman empire. Result utter chaos, its not just a single currency you need but a single law code and single language and lets face it you never going to get the French to speak English. 😆 😆
