Actually if the earth were to not be spinning we would all weigh a little more,
however, the act of stopping the spin would be extremely destructive, and
depending on how it was done could easily end most life on earth..

For instance, if you stopped just the earth the lovely atmosphere would
suddenly be moving quite quickly compared to the ground, as would the people,
cars, etc...
