taking over the world

well, they got close in world war 2, but that was a group following a really charismatic person. eventually they were stretched too thin and were overpowered.

i don't think it's possible, just as i think world peace is possible. the way the world is you'll always have power hungry people wanting to topple whoever's in power, or hate filled people who despise a group of people. just life. i remember being told as a child by my teacher there was a man somewhere who had a suitcase, inside that suitcase was a button and if he was to ever push that button it would rain down nuclear missiles over the world. scared me when i was little, don't believe it much now, but i'll never forget that.

best to just not worry about it if you are, at this point the world powers are basically glaring at one another saying how awesome they are. i doubt anyone will be able to take over the world, and with the way our global economy works, i also doubt another world war will break out any time soon.

You took the words out of my mouth dahvid. Unless the whole world didnt know they were being taken over in which case it could be happening right now! J.k. Lol. One human? No. Its too much responsibility.

No, one person can not take over the world even with the advances of technology period

I am sry but i don't think i get it when you say taking over the world what do you mean, enslavement of human race through tehnological meanings and our exploatation for a greater desing, or complete annihilation of our kin and just a meaningless domination over the territories our planet currently have??? :D

I believe someone tried this before! I believe his name was Nepolian or Hitler or something. From a strategic standpoint you don't take what you can't hold. Now there are of course as stated above different kinds of control. Can these be attributed to one person or group I think not!
