Does anyone else think that Tel-aviv should be the capital of Israel and Jerusalem should be the capital of humanity?

No! Whats Jerusalem got to do with most of humanity? It's a place of violence not humanity. Old fairy tales are not going to change that.

A period/decimal point says much with great brevity.

I prepose the building of a new city in africa. Placed in the region most likely to have been where humans first evolved.

i like that idea Vali. i believe it would be ethiopia? or maybe where civilization/writing first started, which would be in iraq i think.

Don't you think it should be where the ultimate sacrfice for humanity took place?

ultimate sacrifice?

You know, that guy,,,,Now what was his name?,,,,,,that died for the sake of humanity,,,,,,You know,,,,,,,that guy that was trying to teach us how to be humaine,,,,,,,,,Whats his name?,,,,,,,,,Some people call him the son of god, others call him just a man,,,,,,,,,,Errrrm,,,,,,,,,Kri,,Cry?, or was it Geees? Dam. I'll have to get back to you on that one.

um...Why do we even need a capital. hmm...how about...Earth. That seems like a good capital for humanity.

hahaha nix. I didnt know there were any christians left in britain! I thought we were talking about a capital for humanity, not a capital for christianity. There are 5 billion people in this world who would not too kindly to that idead of yours.

Did I say anything about christianity?
Who on this earth does not repect his actions?

No Poo (sorry dood but I think I'm gonna be calling you Poo(as in Poo Bear )from now on if you don't mind)
I think we need a place where the world could have a neutral ground to work on, enabling the leaders to come together in equality and teach each other about their own ancestors mistakes, thus making sure we all don't repeat them again. Then hopefuly, they could sit down with alittle bit more respect for each other and sort out the things that are important to life like Global Warming and Famine.

Maybe the UN and other aid organizations could also set up base there.

Build a new city under the Atlantic Ocean and call it Rapture.

nix, the UN IS neutral ground for all the world's leaders to come together in equality etc.

The UN is in the USA which vetoes alot and seems to have no respect for the UN. I'm thinking thats not on neutral ground

I'm also thinking Jerusalem is owned by no-one, so why don't we all claim it as the Capital of Humanity?

No. My idea is better. A big art deco style city under the Atlantic ocean called Rapture.....

nix, the land the UN is on is considered international territory and is not territory of the United States.

And in all fairness, Russia has used a lot more vetoes than the US has :P

Anyway, my point was is that just because you give it a new name and put it in a new spot doesn't mean it won't devolve to bickering over national pride and the welfare of pawns in the global game of politics

I don't think it should be in Russia either.
Until it's on truely neutral land I don't think any country will respect it. It might even be the cause of this national pride. You must always repect your host. Yes?

As I said - under the Atlantic Ocean! Or more realistically, The arctic is truely neutral, as are parts of Antartica. Apart from that, I don't think anywhere is. So perhaps it should be in one of those places.....

RIP GAZA

Build a new city in The Antarctic and call it Atlantis. A city for humanity on a continent that not one country owns - a true city of peace.

Well...its better than the moon idea!

Jerusalem as capital of Humanity? Its definetly not neutral land...
How about Mecca?
Strassburg is an example of a city torn in dispute, claims and wars that became a european capital-of-sorts.

New York Baby!!!!

don't we have a capital for humanity? Its call earth. why we think so small in this matter. if were not alone then earth is our capital in a huge universe we live in.

I'd rather not live on the moon, nor under the sea. Its a little too cold and many storms in the Antarctic. a floating city could work but it faces many issue in it self.
I just agree there is not any neutral area to do such a project, yet I fear it will be done one day in the wrong ways. New York LOL, might be diverse, but it would cause more issues then goods.

A golden city on a hill thought king Author did that once. You create a target even it is for good some one will knock it down.

Stuart We have that utopia for you. Have a look at your supplies before you.

Bloody hell...how old is this thread?

Joanna, i posted the comment about Rapture on my old account in 2009!
