I also have this thread in my forum, but I would like to hear opinions from people all over the world and this is the only international board I write often.
Most greeks btw are againist it, especially the younger ones..

I think it will be one of the best moves humanity could ever make. It would solve some great problems that now exist. Can you imagine being able to understand everyone as good as you understand people from your country? It would be awsome! I also believe that if a language was to be picked it would most likely be english. Alternatively spanish or chinese. I think it will happen sometime, even if it will be in 10.000 years
They say that one's ideas are limited only to the ability of the individual's native languages to render those ideas into comprehensible thoughts.

No, I would not want a universal native language. There are some words that cannot be expressed in every language. Luckily, other languages make up for those shortcomings. If there were only one universal language, a part of our collective human emotion will be eliminated.
