    Ha! what a good question, makes me think...am i really who i should be, do i act the way i'd like others to act, do i treat others the way i'd like to be treated? Its like the Golden Rule rewritten! And i don't know how to answer your question...

    Yes! The world would be better. As the parent of four teen boys, I've found that a lot of the parents in my community make my job harder. I seem to be one of only a handful of parents who take the time to find out what they're kids are up to. Maybe they're afraid of seeming nosy or rude... I really can't fathom their thought process.

    When one of my sons says they're going to a party at _________'s house, I call to find out if there will be adults supervising and what time the party will be over. On average, when we host a party with about twenty kids, I get similar calls from only two parents. Most of them drop their kids at the curb and don't even introduce themselves. Perhaps they don't want to seem "uncool", but guess what? Our kids need parents. They already have lots of buddies!

    I would like to think so. I've always been taught to treat others the way you would want to be treated. It is definitely going to be interesting to see what others might say and the percentage of people who say yeah, considering the state of the world today. If 70 percent agree, than why is our world the way it is?

    Yes, this is why I like cloning, LOL. Seriously yes it would, but it would be a tad boring and I'm sure someone would do something. As long as it was not that world domination type, 4 year mentality bullshit, I think it would work. But what do I know?

    I like spamandham's answer!

    Well in my case, there'd be no suicide bombers or terrorists to worry about. Everyone would have a fantastic witty sense of humor. Hardly anyone would ever get offended about anything. Everybody and their neighbor would play guitar.

    it certainly would be more peaceful... and full of love but... i don't think it would be better... the world is how it is and if we all act the same it would be a total chaos... so we need diversity...the world is not perfect but... we have to live in it...and one or 2 persons won't change it no matter how hard they try.... we can't be all the same.. and can't be all nice and polite..cause that's how it works...

    If you call drinking scotch, chasing women(and occasionly catching one), driving fast cars and and wasting most of the day on the computer "better", then yes I'd say it would.

    Yup, unless they need to drive somewhere then there would be a world full of short tempered drivers

    God forbid...I would like people to behave like: for men--Dave Matthews (except everybody would be high half the time); for women--Marisa Tomei ('nuff said)
