No.
if You say no, Why not????????? it makes no sense to me.

Gotta keep the difference. If you want to talk to people, learn their damn language.

It would certainly lead to increased global integration and a single global culture (which would have thousands upon thousands of subcultures among it, like the broad overall US culture and the subcultures in that), and if you think that's a good thing (which I tend to think so), then yes, a single world language would be a good thing.

However, good luck on getting people to abandon their national languages.  It's never going to happen in the near future.  The closest we can come to is a worldwide second language for everybody to learn, which English is already the de facto second language for that.  The internet is certainly pushing that as well seeing how the bulk of it is in English.

Hell! NO !!!
what do u mean by LANGUAGES ARE POINTLESS ?!
To God I speak Arabic,to my bf Spanish, to girls Italian, to boys French, and to my horse--German lol !
Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone so how dare you say that "PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD MUST SPEAK ENGLISH & IGNORE the rest of the languages ?!"
The English language is rather like a monster accordion, stretchable at the whim of the editor, compressible ad lib.  sorry !

I think it's more of everyone learning another universal language WITH their other one, not forcing people to only learn one in particular.

but in this world ! ...we're forced to do many things that we won't do !
and if you ask me ; knowing one's language (mother tongue) + only ONE  foreign language is not enough !

No, we're lucky to have so many languages in the world. It makes life more interesting.
