Utopia

Can there ever be a Utopia?

Definition:

an island described in Sir Thomas More's Utopia (1516) as enjoying perfection in law, politics, etc.

You can't have a utopia, as it presents law of any sort into the picture. Laws are evil, and not needed within a perfect society.

 

[Comprensión Mutua]

The term ''utopia'' is subjective and ambiguous; differing for each person. For me, a stateless land, liberated of the burden of tax, of oppression and of unethical actions is a utopian thought, though, for others, their idealistic utopia is different and will perhaps conflict with my utopia.

Utopia as the poster above mentioned differs from person to person. But there can never be a utopia because no one really knows what is perfection for law,politics ect

 

[I'm Still Breathing]

No, it can't exist.

Utopia is greek for "no place", so clearly if you ever had a utopia it would be no place, therefor not existing.

you came here with a Greek meaning and we pulled it from the English dictionary.

No, there is always going to be people who are greedy and commit crimes to get what they want. Even if there weren't people like that there are still people who are mentally ill and they sometimes don't understand that they're doing wrong.

Let's take ethnic cleansing into consideration + genocide of humans not fit for a perfect gene pool.

That may be true but take into consideration we do have housing for the mentally ill. Every person that displays any sort of mental illness should be treated appropriate in this ''Utopia''. People commit to crimes for a reason Be it they need to feed their family or just went insane from trouble in their life. people are greedy because they know they can prob obtain what they are after.

This.

Also, I believe humans (or any other animals) are inherently selfish. We will always strive for the preservation of our own genes before anyone else's. Therefore, such a society cannot exist for humans or any form of life we know.
