What Is the World Coming To? What’s Your Idea of a Utopia?
Question by jane doe: what is the world coming to? what’s your idea of a utopia?
-when men get rich and old they just marry the youngest supermodels they can find (e.g. Donald Trump), and take advantage of their power and prestige by cheating on their partners and that’s okay
-partners cheat on each other or have open relationships often. or just have threesomes.
-women and girls sell their bodies to succeed in life, becoming camgirls or even porn stars.
-married men with the money to do it spend hours a day watching some 18 year old on a camgirl site, while keeping it a secret from their wives…don’t even get me started on the men with the nerve to travel to other countries to have sex with children.
-people as dumb as mitt romney are elected to run a country…i mean, no abortion allowed? come on.
-college is an excuse to have wild sex and get drunk
-people are still paying to eat the trash that mcdonald’s and similar chains dish out
-shows featuring obnoxious and stupid members of society are popular on TV…e.g. the kardashians.
-people become obsessed over stupid, reckless celebrities like paris hilton and lindsey lohan, just because they look good and have a lot of money to blow.
-there is an annoying, obnoxious advertisement everywhere i turn. even on dictionary.com.
-people are glued to their ‘smart’ phones much too often. e.g. throughout class, walking down the street,
-even when climate change and general degradation of the planet is such an apparent issue, so many people are still not doing even the most simple things, like recycling and turning off lights when not in use
-so many people are impolite, engaging in thoughtless violence and thievery, thinking only for themselves, making it an impossibility to even take the bus in many places in fear of coming into contact with these people. like when i took greyhound from fresno to los angeles a week ago–what a nightmare.
-so many smoke cigarettes and buy or do hard drugs when it is so apparent that it will screw a life up. in mexico brutal murders in the name of drug profit is the norm.
-people continue shopping at places like walmart and forever 21, aware that these products were made by workers payed something like 25 cents an hour, only to chuck these items in the trash after a short time since they were made so cheaply in the first place
-most of the world adheres to some religion, thinking theirs is the best. with over 4,000 religions in the world, and the advent of science, it should be pretty obvious that religion is a bunch of bull.

Is it really as bad as I think?
In my idea of a perfect world, recycling and responsible consumerism would be mandated.
Sex would be viewed as sacred, and done with just one special person. Teen porn, cheating, group sex and that sort of thing wouldn’t be so popular because adults would have better morals and not feel it’s right.
People would stop relying so heavily on fossil fuels, with everyone switching to alternative energy to get around, even if it does cost a little more. Algae biodiesel would be developed and made the norm.
Cigarette corporations would go bankrupt.
People would view their own bodies as sacred, appreciating the lives they were given, not filling it up with trash like Diet Coke and fries.
Parents would not beat their children.
People would not eat meat or seafood, because obviously it’s making a big negative impact on the world, not to mention it’s unnecessary and is an act of blatant cruelty and lack of compassion.
Sports would not be making so much money and garnering so many viewers. Because there are much more interesting and useful activities besides a bunch of macho men throwing a ball around (hello, this is 2012).
People would get the brains to stop believing in some religion or other, instead focusing on simply being intelligent and loving, and making positive contributions to society, not worrying about some man in the sky, believing that praying to him will actually do anything, or having 50 prostitutes after death if they engage in a suicide bombing.
