My head would blow up!!

Holy hell....

That's way more than I want to know... first thing that came to mind was the OCD'ers. then the scitzo's, then the serial killers....nope not something I want...besides then I would be dumbed down by people like George W Bush

It'll be a better place.It can't be as sad and dejected and as terrible as it is already.
There may be more equality.

I knew she'd say that

The whole world would seize up in misery. At least for a few days. Then those of us used to living in misery would get the world running again. War would stop.

I'd poop in my pants..well your pants...however that would work.

I agree with Midna. Tomorrow and the following weeks, months, years would suck because everyone would know everyone else's secrets and true feelings. Eventually we would all realize that we are all fucked up in one way or another and an age of tolerance and acceptance would ensue. Hypocracy would be a thing of the past since hypocritcs would be exposed. Prejudice and intolerance would decrease since we could sense and understand how one another feels. Crime and violence would decrease and lying would be impossible. We would become interconnected as a civilization and approach harmony.
That kinda sounds like the Borg. Star Trek fans, anyone?

Personally, I think it would be a boring world so far as inter-personal relationships go...and a scary one when thinking globally. With living in such a capitalist society, people would be exploiting people for a buck any way they could. Then there's the issue of identity. This idea conjures up a great deal of thought. Thanks.

I'd love to have telepathy.I know we have more than 5 senses.

Actually, we have ONE sense made of millions of 'feelers' but our brains have only evolved to cope with 5.

So I'd use that power to get into Paris Hilton and Britney's mind.Maybe Nicole Ritchie's too if I haven't lost the will to live by then

lol...would they still have the same appeal if you were able to get inside their...mind?

I think Britney is cool still.It's her butt.

I'd like to read the minds of other BPs and sort out the many fakers from the real.
All those celebrity fakers would crap it.

Why would you want to do that?

If we were born to read minds, we would find a way to deal so it would be helpful w/our survival; just like any of our other senses. If we weren't born w/reading minds and one day everyone could, we would eventually adjust but at first it would be chaotic. It's like if everyone was born deaf and one day could hear.....

I guess it would end up cancelling each other out and we'd go nuts , coz it'd be like 'that guy is gonna rob me i better get him first' and then the robber would be like he knows im gonna rob him and so he will try hit me first, so i better pretend im not gonna rob him' and so on and so fourth until no one can actually do anything except stand there drooling waiting for the next thought to conunteract

But maybe inter-personal relationships would become even stronger because people would feel closer.
I guess there are always some that want to exploit others, but if we could read each otners minds exploitation and deception would be impossible. The intended victim would always see it coming.
Individualism is something we hold sacred, but it is also what's wrong with the world. We Americans are very guilty of this and it leads people to not care about others as much as themselves.
If we all become so interconnected so as to lose our individual identities, each and everyone of us would think that the collective consciousness is our own. It would be one giant personality. Scary.
