This is actually a massively interesting topic, if you want to discuss it without a lot of anger. I mean, in the grand scheme of things, a single unifying language on earth would be an amazing way to break down political and cultural barriers. It is actually wasteful to have more than one... but as language is such an important part of human development, it isn't easy to just get rid of them.
Now, I'm an English speaker, so let me say that I don't think English is the best language... only that it is currently the most widely spoken. If in time some other language replaces it, that's fine... just so long as ultimately it is spoken everywhere.
