...if humanity could work together as a species towards constant betterment of themselves and their impact on the environments they inhabit. After we get THAT nailed down, we can then go colonize uninhabited planets.

I had no idea LOL. How did you even hear about this thing cause I've never heard of it in the history class... or I may not remember??



I also never heard about it in regular school or high school classes. I learned about it in university in my short time as a student of History.


A very odd school system! So your school system motivates students?! Dr. History style!? Then would be odd US system in university teaches world's history

You just couldn't resist, could you? You know goddamn well that we aren't united enough as a species, or even worthy enough, to go populate other planets until we get our snow together here. This is not debatable. Doing something half-assed isn't grounds for foreword movement with such vast possibilities to do catastrophic damage elsewhere.

It's not that bad. Besides, the act of doing things is usually/always the catalyst for betterment. If you wait to be perfect before doing anything then that's just the equivalent of saying that we should never do anything. Colonizing space is something we'll need to play by ear to some extent.

9 out of 10 fears are unfounded.

I don't understand why they couldn't just find another archduke. You basically just need a high-quality wax to sculpt the proper mustache and you're golden. Austria-Hungary was so particular and snooty about their heirs.

If too many Romanians start associating with their slavic neighbors, does it become Slavmania or is it still Romania?

Romania isn't even Roman so I think it needs a new name.


Suggestions:

Swampmania
Slavmania
you can call it Dacia if Romania bothers you so much

Wait, what!? Romania has both Roman and Dacic origins, what the something. And yes, this is part of the official history.

I mean I know it was Romanized and controlled by Rome once upon a time, but it isnt actually Roman unless I am missing something. Otherwise we would just call France "Romance" and we would call Spain "Romain" and we would call Greece "Romeece'.

You get my point. The root of the word is a hot mess. They should vote on a new name, like a Euovision contest.

@NoobX:

This is actually a common question. If "Romania" means "citizen of Rome" then we should if anything just rename Italy to Romania, and then maybe give Romania some other voted upon word. That is a lot better than having a random country called "Romania".

Well, former Roman soldiers after their career settled like crazy in Romania's lands, so....

Well, I don't really see a reason to rename it. That's what name this country has formed over the course of history. Countries aren't what you could call "logically named". The classic example even, with Amerigo Vespucci and America: we can say it should be renamed into the United States of Columbia.

Except Italians didn't get to the W. Hemisphere first. Descendants from Siberia/Mongolia did.

"The Americas" is a racist / Eurocentric name for the continents.
