What would your utopia be like?

Non-corrupted communism.

Everyone would be as intelligent as me, and just as modest. :-)

Living in England, not having being born and brought up in the US. Going to a NORMAL school...oh, and complete seperation of church and state, Paganism/Witchcraft recognized as a 'religion', Bush out of office (even though I would be living in the UK), legalized abortion, legalized gay marriage, all cars by law either hybrid or electric, and no more sexism/racism/ageism/homophobia. Democratic/parliamentary government system, not corrupt. Electricity coming entirely off windpower/solar power/alternate energy...the list goes on.

**EDIT** Oh yes, and natural instinctive social structures would be embraced. That means that people with low IQs would be left behind. Sorry, it's the way nature works! We need stupid people, because dirty jobs need to be done...America wouldn't be morbidly obese without the help of the McDonalds hamburger flippers! And intelligent people would be able to instincitvely sniff one another out. And there would be more of us...

I like the here and now just fine. It's unexpected, dangerous, constantly surprising, occasionaly life threatening, Neil Young's still alive, and it could all kick off at any minute.

Or ...

Lesbians. Vast swaying fields of them. And beer. Lesbians with beer.

:D

None.

Paradise is so boring.

"'But I like the inconveniences.'

'We don't,' said the Controller. 'We prefer to do things comfortably.'

'But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.'

'In fact,' said Mustapha Mond, 'you're claiming the right to be unhappy.'

'All right then,' said the Savage defiantly, 'I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.'

'Not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and impotent; the right to have syphilis and cancer; the right to have too little to eat; the right to be lousy; the right to live in constant apprehension of what may happen tomorrow; the right to catch typhoid; the right to be tortured by unspeakable pains of every kind.' There was a long silence.

'I claim them all,' said the Savage at last.

Mustapha Mond shrugged his shoulders. 'You're welcome,' he said."

My utopia isn't.

BUMP BUMP BUMP
and also
I think I'll do mine
As a committed centrist, my Utopia would be a moderate democracy with strong moral values and inclusion for all. Poeverty would naturally not exist and people would be able to fly on....erm.. clouds... Every tuesday and thrusday would be "NO WORK DAY" and people would be free to indulge in non work-related activities. I'll think of more later...

What would your utopia be like?

Lot's of cake (but without any custard), and the Smiths would reunite.

They used to live near me! *clings onto someone else's fame*

Lucky...the only fame I have to cling to is that of my two male cousins: One was in the band Fan Tan Alley, which had a minor hit with the middle-aged population of Victoria, and the other was in the WHL, untill quitting after a massive bar fight last month.

Oh ok ...
I can't compete with that. My family are Irish... so actually yes we probably could with the bar fights...

Completely disease free; tolerant of gays and straights; every person pulls their weight, thus requiring no money, everyone works for the benefit of each other - volunteerily, not through cohersion.

Oh, and I want lots of yummy fruit cake with lots of custard OR thicken cream with brandy flavouring.

Good except for the custard part. Custard is disgusting.

What would your utopia be like?

A Christian Utopia! :D

A Christian Utopia! :D
Could you elaborate?

Perfect. Well, almost.

What would your utopia be like?
Where the hearts of men have changed and they no longer envy or thirst after wealth or covet or are jealous, but rather seek the best as much for each other as they do for themselves.

Where every child ( and indeed, every human being ) is treasured and loved and cared for as our gift to the future.

A perfect anarchist society in which all people live in squatted houses (I'll take the vatican) and grow food on the ruins of the old society

My utopia isn't.

You're just upset because you're a Gamma Minus. :(

Mine would be a libertarian socialist (read: true anarchy) in which no one knows what money is, and farmers actually are useful and get compensated....and with electric cars, and solar power.... and no Mormans (inside joke) and custard EVERYWHERE (hahaha...boo-ya, people who don't like custard)

yeah....and like Jesus Lizard said: lots of lesbians with beer!!

centrist dictatorship, nobody is stupid enough to believe in communism or religion

Oh ok ...

Hey us Irish don't have drunken bar fights. We go outside...

What would your utopia be like?

A small government exists with a police force which prevents theft and assault, and a military which uses the spoils of war to fund the government's existence, negating the need for any taxation.

Excess war loot which is not needed to maintain the government is used to subsidise the purchase of alcohol for all citizens (once every couple of years "government plunder" is shared equally amongst the civillian population). The national anthem has a 3-minute guitar solo.

The homeless don't starve because fruit grows like a weed everywhere. Speaking of weed, weed grows like the fruit does.

I wouldn't change the political system, like some are advocating. I'd change the very nature of reality. I'd make it more fun, more unpredictable and less dangerous.
