If it were possible to live in a world where 100% of the people shared your exact feelings about things like; religion, family, politics, morals, etc., would you do it?

Yes that's called a nation.

But you left out race

You'd get a lot more done that way.

Yes, I would. It's more or less how I pick my associations now.

I enjoy homogeneity. Diversity, not so much.

No.
But I'd like to live in a world were different ideas are considered factually and civilly. I'd like to like in a world where the press was made up of journalists like Tim Russert and David Brinkley, not duplicitous partisan hacks like Chuck Todd and George Stephanopoulos

I'm not sure that that is a good thing.

Normally, surrounding yourself with 'yes men' is courting disaster.

Across the board? I don't see the benefit.

On specific issues? Yes.

I'd like for everyone in the world to be like me except for 2 or 3 that would be radically different. We'd keep them in a zoo for entertainment and educational purposes.

No. I would starve.

I am an attorney, therefore, I need people to act human. In direct terms, I depend on acts of ignorance and negligence for my business.

Liberals, with their thought processes, are for lawyers as the buffalo were for the native Indians...we feed off of 'em.

The most diverse nation is also the most prosperous nation---coincidence, no?

No, I don't want to live in a world like that. I would like to live in a world where the opposition is not stark-raving mad, though.

No. There needs to be views that run counter to your own. For example, let's say that in this world an idea or view was put forward that had long term negative consequences for the population. However, since everyone shares the exact same mindset, it takes root and spreads and ultimately harms society. Had there been opposing viewpoints, maybe it only affects a small part of the population or no one at all.

Is this a trick question so you can call me a bigot?
