You sound extremely self-contained and hypocritical in these reviews.
I guess you all have relatively "normal" lives where you encounter little problems from time to time in your everyday life.

Let me tell you something about the world: 100.000.000 americans live beneath the poverty line now. Will true emotions get them jobs?
In Mexico, gangs of (teenaged) drug-dealers kill each other and bystanders in the war about drugs. Will Shakespeare's works end the killings?
In 2005, there were 8 major wars and a variety of other conflicts under way, most of which are still current. Will free will end them anytime soon?
The world's recources are won't last much longer, still the world's population keeps growing. Climate change is causing natural disasters all over the world, tens of thousands die from it. Will democracy oppose these threats (efficiently)?

Even if we turn away from the global issues and take a look at what kind of shape our great society is in despite culture:

Life is more then ever a big competition: Who's got the best car? Who's got the best i-stuff? Who's got the best clothes? Who's got the best connections? Who's got the best parents? Who's got the best skin color? Who's got the best genes?
If you fail to excell in any of these categories, you're labelled a "loser". Your self-esteem decreases, and like vultures the others start kicking and tearing apart what little is left of you. (Not true? Check any High School in the world!)
The beautiful people with the good lifes might enjoy reading Shakespeare at this point.
The less fortunates, the losers, get depressed; they become outsiders, stay friendless and partnerless. Some kill themselves, because they can't stand it anymore. Others spend their whole lifes in misery, having the telly show them the good things they never had.
If you're an immigrant, you might get beaten up and even killed because you're different. If you're "lucky", you find a job where you earn 50 cents a day, always fearing deportation. If you suffer from an unbearable disease, your life can be over before it begins.

So, that's today's life for an enormous part of the world. Great, isn't it?
BNW is a utopia, in my opinion. I admit, the people are stupid, and they're drug addicts. They're sex-crazy and incapable of real human emotion. They're conditioned and manipulated to be this way.

They're manipulated to be different from us, they're better people. They don't feel blue, angry, jealous, scared or pessimistic. They don't kill, they don't insult, they don't steal. They're just happy, even is "happy" in this case only means "Just that euphoric, drugged state".

Besides, anybody is free to leave the World State, you can live on the Falklands and apparently everywhere outside the borders, so what's the problem?

Given the alternative of suffering pysically and emotionally, I'd rather go without culture and live in Huxley's world.
Anybody who argues differently is simply ignorant and selfish, like "Let them slaughter and rape each other as long as I can read Othello!".
