In what ways?

I think it would be completely full of both joys and horrors untold unless we knew how to control the ability. Personally I don't think we as humans are capable of controlling such an ability....the result of that is chaos.

I think it would put a huge mental burden on people. Accepting each others faults would be much mor difficult. For example, if you had a partner who was a recovering alcholic or sex addict or whatever, how difficult would it be to HEAR their unexpressed burdens on a daily basis.
And ofcourse, there are always people in society who are manipulatives and would use it to their advantage. Or people who honestly believe that they are good who are just plain rotten, like child molesters who may BELIEVE that they love a child and will do no harm. They could send out thoughts of love and utter adornment on an unsuspecting/inexperienced child.
And then of course, there are the schizos who would never be sure of whose voices and thoughts they were hearing. For them, it would just be more excess noise. Yeah, not a good idea.

I'm not sure. It may cause insecurities. You know a cartoon/comic right? When I was a kid, (ages 4-7) I really thought my thoughts were on display for the whole world to see in the form of the bubble on top of cartoon/comic characters head. I thought that bubble was on top of my head, you know black type and all. I realize now how insecure I must have been. But at the time, I was terrified that everyone knew what I was thinking. Oh well, that's a great question though.

Life would definitely be noisy, woulndt it? There is a library of resources for assisting individuals and groups opposed to noise pollution from hearing each other'ds thoughts. Access to sound level monitoring equipment that individuals often do not have can assist with testimony and comments presented to planning commissions, zoning boards, city councils, and judges all of whom think too loud. Experts in the field of noisy thought processes and their distrubance of atmospheric conditions are probably working on projects in your local area as well as nationally. Contact them using their quiet and thoughtless web formats, or call toll free at 1-888-200-8332, or write to The Noise Pollution Clearinghouse, P.O. Box 1137, Montpelier, VT 05601-1137.

It will be better places.
For people would not have to guess and second guessing others's intentions.
People who have good thoughts will be recongised and cheerish.
People who have bad intentions and thoughts can not carry out their evil plans as everyone knows about what they are thinking.
Those people will eventually be outcasted and perish.
In short, the world will be much better. But there ain't no more privacy.

I think it would help in some ways. Like understanding peoples actions and behavior.But it could probably cause alot of problems because some people wouldn't like what others think about especially if its something weird or offensive.

Possibly non-existant. Often we think things that we would never say out loud. Some of our thoughts come from out of nowhere, and people wouldn't understand. Of course we wouldn't understand others, either.
There would be more fights; more war, if anyone were even left.

OMG, I think we wouldnt have any relationships anymore! We all think things negative on ocassion, some more often than others. Not too good if other people would know everything in our heads. How could we ever be at peace with ourselves?

I think then it would become clear to us (if it isn't already) that our thoughts and intentions have substance.
We wouldn't learn to change our thoughts, our thoughts would change us. We would all learn to accept eachother - one another's thoughts, feelings and opinions.
The fact of the matter is if we accepted these things now, we'd all be a lot better off.

Well, my mom would have heard me call her a ***** a thousand times. That would have probably ended my life. I think that's a big difference!
