My Thoughts on Language
Bad Grammer
The basic function of language is to communicate. In that, all other changes are natural evolution of the language. Anything which someone would call bad grammar or syntax are moot if the idea of what you are trying to express is comprehended.
HENCE, those who correct others language, so called "Grammer Nazis" don't actually improve the language of others. They actually serve to suppress and retard the growth of language. Also they are annoying as hell and suck.
Universal Language
To understand my theory on a universal language you first have to understand why languages diverge. Any groups of people tend to have their own words or expressions. Over time, these will gradually evolve into a language all their own. For proof look to yourself, don't you and your friends have words or phrases that no one understands? I know me and mine do. This is why villages that are only two miles away have totally different languages. They are separated by a river, mountain, or other such natural boundary. They never interact so their languages develope differently. This is exampled by the border of France and Spain, where and mix of Spanish and French is spoken.
Since languages diverge from community to community, the only global language that will develop will be as a result of a global community. And what is the only global community we know of? If you said the Internet you win the prize. But what language will be spoken on it? What language is spoken on it now? ENGLISH, but not normal English, a more corrupt, direct, and punctuation-free form of English. This English, which I am going to call chatroom because it got its start in Internet chat rooms. It relies heavily on abbreviations such as ttyl lol or brb. Chatroom also relies on emoticons such as :-) or ;-). Proof for this is in two forms. In China there are so many dialects of Chinese that they speak English to each other because they all understand it. This is evidence that English is become the predominant language of the world. Also, I have observed people use expressions like lol or brb in a spoken conversation. This proof that chatroom will someday replace English. Someday, after we all are dead, chatroom will become the spoken language of the world.

My Thoughts on Religion
Religion in General
It is an undeniable fact that almost all cultures on earth, even ones living in relative isolation, have developed some sort of religion. They have developed some sort of sense of a greater power; be it God, Allah, Shiva, or a willow tree. This leads me to theorize that there may be some kind of basic human need to believe in a kind of higher power.
I am also working on something about the difference between societies with a sun based ultimate god and ones with a larger, more in charged of the gods god.
