I was reading the thread about favorite movies and I was suprised at how different everyone's lists are. It got me thinking. People are different and like different things, but we are all humans and have lots of things in common. Is it possible that anything could ever be created that everyone would say "That is the best."
Edit: I guess the Earth is a planet we can all agree is the best planet for us to live on.

In other words, you are asking "Why do people differ in beliefs and opinions?".

No I'm asking "People differ in beliefs and opinions, but is there something so perfect we can all agree on its perfectnessitude?"
I don't usually think deep thoughts, but something got me thinking about perfectness. Must have caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror again.

Because a bell curve has two ends...

Never!

There are some ethics and morals but some people are either happier going against them or constrained for not agreeing with those ethics.
(e.g. terrorists, cultural/national disputes)

That is a fact though, not an opinion. We don't have the ability to even look for anything remotely better yet.

Are you saying your life is imperfect?

...but of course I was speaking of the Rolling Stone's interpretation of the word.

i think this is an interesting question. The variation in opinion on almost anything is surprisingly wide. Even in the scientific sphere ,agreement on the results of seemingly rationally constructed arguments is difficult. Prior beliefs, convictions, vested interests,ego, sales 'skill', mood swings, all of it seems to get in the way. In the general human sphere, i think its a mad-house of opinions (inlcusive of the current one admittedly), the range of which i think is very easy to grossly underestimate.
