Obviously hypothetical question as no matter what laws you pass we'll always have sick people but say in this parallel universe it was possible if you gave up all the good things like meat, sex, alcohol, swearing the world would be at peace no ISIS burning people alive, no murder no crime at all would you be willing to give up those things listed by Sandra Bullock character.
shareOnly cigarettes should be illegal. There are smokers married to non smokers and parents that force their kids to inhale tobacco smoke. It's against the law to smoke in public buildings as it gives us freedom to breathe. Other stuff should be legal. Always leave law and order with individual freedom.
shareAs much as I dislike cigarette smoke, you can't outlaw cigarettes. Prohibition of liquor didn't work in the 1920s, and prohibition of drugs doesn't work now.
If you make cigarettes illegal, you'll create a black market, and crime will go up. Cigarettes will be smuggled from other countries, people will make them in underground factories, prices will skyrocket, and tobacco addicts will hit you over the head and rob you to get money to buy cigarettes.
Prohibition doesn't work, education does.
I intend to live forever.
So far, so good.
Marijuana appears to be less harmful and addicting. That should be legal and prostitution should be legal and no more involving drug dealings of the Mafia in prostitution. Many of us whine about second hand smoke harming us. Cars need to go hybrid and be energy efficient.
shareNo, we love hot lesbians/bisexual girls.
shareI don't think it would, because like Edgar Friendly, someone would always have to be left out of the "perfect" world, and those people would eventually plan an uprising and overtake the "47 year old virgins living in their mommy's basement singing Im an Oscar Meyer Weiner". lol
It's always a novel concept but for a TRUE perfect society, you need both, ying and yang.
You know, I've missed your sparkling personality.
I would recommend reading the book The Giver. It has a perfect society with no hunger, crime, or war. Its mainly about a rebellion.
shareIt's amazing to me that this question is even being posed. (and troubling)
Their society evolved into total chaos. Imagine the area Phoenix coontroled, but spread over the entire country. Do I take Cocteau's world over that? Absolutely. Do I take it over how we live now? No chance.

Progressives think so....but as most of the dystopian books/movies of the 50s-70s demonstrate, they all end badly.
But alas, there will always be a new generation of progressives that think they're smarter than those who failed before them, and these recycled attempts at full government control and utopia, are given new life.
Definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.
Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?
