-
we would be more honest
-
The movie 'What women want' comes to mind.
-
If there was such a thing as The Seven Deadly Sins Store, it would be sold out and a line around the block.
-
wwe would have to be a lot more careful about our thoughts and attitudes.
-
There'd be a lot more awkward silences in the lift, that's for sure!
-
G'day Grtravels, Thank you for your question. I suspect that there would be a marked increase in relationship breakdowns and violence as people react to what other people are thinking. On the other hand, it would probably save some time as customer service officers can serve us much more efficiently. Waitresses would know what we wanted before we ordered for example. Regards
-
Oh hell, I guess I'd never be able to leave the house!! LOL - Wait, does the house protect my thoughts from being read???
-
All the world would be yours except the answer bag.
-
I think a lot of people would be angry with each other if they knew what they were "really" thinking.
-
We'd probably run out of friends pretty quickly!
-
We'd all go crazy - I mean we can't now but we think we can as it is -- Looneybin Town is were we'd be
-
We would all end up hating each other.
-
Punches.
-
I would probably be slapped many times ... lol
-
We would all be some fighting fools is my guess. On the bright side, we would know who loves us. We would also know when someone was thinking about ripping us off or using us, which brings us back to fighting fools.
-
We'd have to develop thicker skins and kinder hearts.
-
80% of all relationships would collapse.
-
it must be great coz you don't need to ask anything or say something...
-
No one would ever have to say anything. Some people may die. Husbands and wifes would be faithful.
-
It would be great sensory overload if you were in a crowded room! Plus, I would probably get my feelings hurt many times over, then become an agoraphobic.
-
I would never have to tell the movie theater attendent what movie I wanted to see. He/she would give me the ticket and then tell me to stop complaining about the prices.
-
Utter pandemonium!
-
Homocides and divorces would quadruple. 20% of the work force would be terminated. government secrets would be no more. Maybe, its a good thing we cannot read each others mind.
-
Less Divorce. Less Crime. More or Less Friends. More Peace. Better Government.......
-
i would be looked up in a max secuity area in some prison some were.
-
Someone, somewhere, would develop a hat or device that would block people from reading our thoughts!
-
Id probably be a slut cause i could read girls minds..lol
-
If it were at will, it would be a different story but if just every thought of every person you come across... it would probably make your mind explode. And really, you would probably hear some really gross and scary thoughts. I think I would rather not have that one. It's not my business when you have to use the restroom or any of that business.
-
I would get very embarassed!
-
Someone did. This question has already been asked. Edit: Now that this has been merged with the one that was originally been asked, my answer would be, nuthin' but trouble. Especially at a party where two women show up in the same outfit. :)
-
absolute mayhem
-
i would understand more, cry more, have less people in my life....well it would be a really lonely place. not just because of others thoughts but because of my own.
-
There wouldn't be much communication in words anymore.
-
There wouldn't be a need for answerbag anymore, then what would we all do?
-
There would be alot of men getting their facees slapped!!
-
I think everyone would end up thinking exactly the same after a few years, which would result in mindless conforming.... doesnt sound like much fun at all
-
There would be lot more throwing up going on...
-
you would either LOVE me or HATE me...
-
Terrible to know inner thoughts generated by your uncontrolled conscience.
-
We'd become a hyve society, I'm not sure if it would be a good thing.
-
Most everyone would get fired and sued for sexual harassment :-0
-
My husband's would be blank.
-
Liars would disappear for one thing. It would foster honesty and everything would improved since it will be based on the truth.
-
Two words: mind rape.
-
WW3
-
It would either lead to a new level of understanding, or mass mayhem.
-
MAJOR HEADACHE. If we could read each other's minds, then we could get really mad. If somebody was saying bad things to you in your head and you knew it, you would get kind of upset. We would also have a hard time thinking, etc.
-
i would be complete chaos for many years until poeple started frowing up that way and knew no other way of dealing with other people. i'd say it would take abot 5 to 7 generations before it was simply normal and people that were born without the ability might have some difficulty getting by in life as if they were deaf.
-
Some people have this ability, like twins they can comunicate without speaking to each other.The eyes are the windows too the soul and some people not very many have this gift.
-
I think sometimes we can already with people we are close to.
-
Even more fights and wars than there are now.
-
I think we'd adapt to the fact that our minds could be read. Like someone said, we'd develope thicker skins. Everyone would get used to it, just like another form of communication. I bet it'd feel like living in a glass house though, no where to retreat to be alone.
-
What? You mean you guys can't?
-
we would get pissed off of something that someone else was thinking and then we would end up beating the crap out of them. jk. we would probably have good dirt on the person. lol! : )
-
We'd all be dead or severely beaten!
-
we'd die out really fast.
-
It would be chaotic. We would all be beating each other. I think its best if we just keep our thoughts to our selves.
-
No one would talk, and we'd pretty much live our life in fear of fear of fear of fear of fear of fear of fear of fear of fear...
-
A wonderful thing! Honesty. We would have no way to be dishonest, so we could trust with no fear. No one would be sent to prison unless they were guilty, and no one would be released unless they were truly safe for society. No child molesters would ever be able to get away with hurting a child. Politics would be a whole new game, with real solutions being offered for real problems. All of the things that are wrong would be evident and we would be able to fairly address each case. Greed would also take a major hit. The wealth would be spread more evenly. The whole world would benefit, and I can't see a down side at all.
-
Wow! You are a right dirty minx, is that legal?????:-)
-
nobody would talk any more just walk around doing the normal things and just look at eachother and you would know...
-
A lot of people would be offended. I def think some sick things...
-
I'd probably have a permanetly red face from being slapped for my comments.
-
War without end.
-
Lots of hostility... And hurt feelings.
-
The world would be a better place.
-
if we could read each others minds then maybe we would get a little bored of talking to each other don't cha think? if we could just reeeeeeeeaaad all the thoughts all the time, all the anwsers, beliefs all the time!
-
There would be a lot MORE divorcing and a lot LESS marrying.
-
This is a great question. I think it would be horrible on so many levels. People would intentionally think certain thoughts to manipulate other people. And they would do it so much that they would forget what kind of person they were. This is my "about to go to bed" answer. I'm not quite sure about the logic of it. Sounds pretty good to me, but, I'm tired, so.....
-
You wouldn't be asking this question... :-)
-
I have some pretty cynical thoughts, so sometimes people would be mad at me. Other times, it would help because they could know things that I couldn't figure out how to tell them.
-
Life would be honest
-
well with males it would be cool but females can never make up their minds ... so it would be a lost cause !
-
Oh you mean telepathy...I am thinking of...???
-
We would be more advanced because we would instantly know who was full of shit.
-
First, everyone would be shocked and grossed out by the stray thoughts everyone else was having. Then, they would realize everyone else was shocked and grossed out by the stray thoughts THEY were having. Then, after everyone is mutually shocked and completely grossed out, we can all finally live in peace and acceptance of all of our disgusting sick diversity. :)
-
I would be in major trouble all the time.
-
I think that we would be able to let people know how we really felt and they may not understand all of our thoughts but how many times have you wanted to tell somebody something and you just couldn't form the right words? Also our thoughts form faster in our heads than we can form them by mouth and by the time they come out of your mouth they really aren't the same thoughts or you've already lost track of what you wanted to say because your mind has already moved past it? I think it would be a world that could function much better and on more levels. We'd also know people's intentions and there would be less terrorism.
-
I think it might be chaos
-
CHAOS!! Imagine this: a wife reading a philandering husband's mind..Ü
-
You know the movie "What Women Want"...something like that...lol
-
Indescribable MAYHEM
-
We would get really low self-esteem seeing all the bad stuff other people say about us, and not realize that we think just as much bad stuff about people we like in our heads.
-
It would be a crazy, crazy world.
-
we wont be here...
-
3 Simple words.!!! "..KAOS..KAOS..KAOS.."
-
We'd all go crazy and kill each other, there'd be too many voices in our heads at once and I don't think our brains could cope. I'm going on the assumption that you automatically read everyone around and had no control over it.
-
All people would know other people aren't talking about them. All people would realize there is no reason to assume so much. All people would be unified and one.
-
we would die
-
All hell would break loose.....
-
The world would be awful.
-
You would not be asking this question!
-
George W bush would be exposed and implicated somehow for the pre knowledge of 911 and not doing anything to stop it.
-
We would know everything going on
-
The world would be in utter chaos overnight
-
people do it all the time without even knowing it.so next time just think whats going on their thoughts could be your own.
-
lots more murders and sexual harrasment lawsuits
-
We would be in a hep of trouble........M.C.S.
-
