Funny enough, I coulda sworn despite the Federation being a utopia society, holograms are essentially treated like slaves despite their self-awareness. Would be interesting to see where our society take this some decades or centuries from now. Jokes aside, we as a society still have issues with racism, basic human rights, animal rights, etc, etc. Regardless of where one stands on these issues I don't think we'll ever be "mature" enough to progress past these and start to deal with other issues. It's funny, because TNG pushes that Earth is like a utopia with no prejudice, poverty or hunger (no real explanation of how they do this), but there are clearly episodes that show people still have the capability of being selfish, deceitful, and prejudiced in the series even towards other organics, and the Federation clearly does not treat everyone fairly, and endorses genocide "for the greater good". --- The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him. They're all complacent sheeple. Passion fights, but reason wins. <cite>DarkKirby2500 posted [p:885796488] in If we had ...
