There are no universal truths known to man.
There are those that would disagree.You're joking, right? 1+1=2 is a universal truth.
There are those that would disagree.
The truth is true absolutely.
The simple truth is that a one world government would be a good thing.....if it were a one world government in Ron Paul's world.
It isn't a good idea for us to have one government among the States, having such for the world would be catastrophic no matter who was in charge.
How about United Earth? or the Federation? Those worked well in the books, movies, and shows of star trek.
Why, even in the Enterprise series, the first episode, Broken Bow part 1, a corn farmer shot a Klingon with a phaser shotgun, which suggests gun rights prevailed into the 23rd century. And that was during United Earth's government under the strict guidance of the Vulcans who can be seen as anti-gun.

No thanks, that is fiction. Even having a federal government has been detrimental to liberty, anything larger will be worse. Why do you want dictators or sheep of another land to have power over your liberty?

Because no man is an island. If a city walls itself in from the outside world, it may turn out good for a decade or to, but eventually, things tear apart at the seems, strife, disputes, it becomes a cesspool. That arguement is the same that kept City-states going for hundreds of years in ancient times. But then a string of historic events brought them all together, under one uniform system, which prevailed and worked.
So, it's a bad thing to even consider letting someone with new ideas, with a different opinion, with a different view, to come in and share those, and help give life to an old idea, right?
Ya know, just because the star trek franchise is purely an act of fiction, it does bring good morales and a more keen idea into human thinking. When people isolate themselves from another, the group of people, mentally and genetically become stagnant, with little or no growth.
I'm all for the constitution, but im not extreme in those ideals, i welcome new ideas for a stronger future.
Look at the European Union, seperately, Euopes economy was stagnating, striffed with war and rivalries between each other, each country had the same line of thought, germans didnt want to be ruled by french, brittish didnt want to be ruled by italians. But each country, and their people worked past prejudice, and all united for the betterment of humanity. Now their laws are not perfect, no law is perfect, our own constitution isnt perfect. But the point is, the PEOPLE are united and stand hand and hand with each other, no matter the region, province, or country, their all europeans, their technology excells beyond that of Russia, China, or the USA. Because they share everything, rewards, and even poverty.
A united government isn't a bad thing in and of itself. Its the people behind it that can hurt the whole picture. Our federal government isn't a bad thing, its the people BEHIND it, that gives it a bad name. And states' governments are the same.
If someone argues for non-federalist government, to give powers back to the states, then what is keeping people form saying that power should rest amongst the various counties and cities, and try and dissolve the state government? Then what after that? a return to 13th century fuedal politics? Would you really want to have 50 individual countries? What of land locked states? at the mercy of the states of trade along oceans.
Christ, all it takes is a little thought into what you stand for, dont just go off saying something is bad without considering the entire picture.
You're joking, right? 1+1=2 is a universal truth. Put H2 and O2 in a chamber under standard day conditions with twice the molality of H2 as O2 and give it a spark, and you WILL witness an explosion. That, too, is a universal truth.
There are many more universal truths, but one thing does appear to be certain: The more complex the conditions, the less likely is the outcome. For example, one cannot say "if you commit a crime you will go to jail," and thus, that's not a universal truth. However, one can say "there's a good chance you will be caught."
Another universal truth is that given two otherwise identical and sizable U.S. populations, one armed and one disarmed, the disarmed population will have a higher crime rate.
There are those propositions which are generally and widely accepted as being true, but given time they may be disproven. Or perhaps they, like Einstein's "Theory of Relativity", are accepted as truth only because they cannot (yet) be disproven.
As for your 1+1 example... 1+1 does not always equal 2. What most people assume to be self-evident rules of arithmetic -- valid at all times and for all purposes -- actually depend on what we define a number to be. In Boolean algebra 1+1=0 (carry the 1). Our only reference for the measurement or "truth" of anything in the universe is the value which we assign to it. A "statute mile" consists of 5,280 feet only because that is the value we have given to it. The freezing point of fresh water at sea level is 32ºF/0ºC - only because Daniel Fahrenheit gave it that value in the early-18th century, and we accept it as such. There is no universality in measurement.
Don't Bogart that doobie! Pax...
Don't mean to be picky, but 1+1=1 in Boolean... the (+)plus sign is the "or" operator.
As it pertains to "truth"... REALITY is truth. It is our perception of reality that is suspect.
