Line 746:
* This trope is one of the reasons [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]] exists. Even if 40 people in a platoon can't agree on ANYTHING else, they can always unite around the fact that the sergeant's an ass.
* In street demonstrations against Israel, the crowd will often include fundamentalist Muslims, anarchists, neo-Nazis, and anti-Zionist Hassidic Jews who believe the Messiah must come before Jews return to Israel.
* [[Ronald Reagan]] seemed to be a fan of this trope, and in fact saw it as a potential avenue toward world peace. He once made a speech in which he wondered how much better the world would be if [[Alien Invasion|space aliens invaded]], thus forcing the US and [[Soviet Russia, Ukraine, and So On|the Soviet Union]] to put aside their differences and fight the threat together. He felt this would remind both sides of their shared humanity, and lead to an end to human conflict. Lest you think he was joking, he actually brought up this scenario in ''several'' speeches, including one to the general assembly of the [[United Nations]].
* [[Slayer]], bane of Religious Conservatives everywhere (at least in the 80's), released a ''pro-life song''.
