To show how wonderfully tolerant this place is of nonsense:

In my utopia breast augmentation surgery will be outlawed (save for procedures done for illness reasons) on two grounds:

1) It's a waste of valuable resources*
2) They look bad

Discuss.


*In my dream utopia, healthcare is not only "free" (well, Universal) it's also mandatory

Can't have the sick bring down the healthy

It's not for everyone.

The extent to which a society isn't for everyone is almost exactly, I would argue, the extent to which it isn't a utopia.

This trolling is beneath you. I actually thought you were interested in discussing the nature of a utopia but you've basically failed to say a single intelligent thing in the OP or any of your responses. Stop wasting our time.

Oh trust me, your Utopia will have strip clubs, and prostitution.

You may punish it more severely but you won't eliminate it any more than prohibition has eliminated alcohol and drug use.

Well if we're using magic wands to change the nature of reality in our utopia's mine is gonna be a cross between Babylon 5 and the Norse Valhalla.

Go out and battle shadows all day, get resurrected and party all night who needs to worry about real crap like economies or health care.
