People would find their own set of moral structure that may or may not include aspects of the Judeo-Christan based morals of the west today. Whether atheist or other the western moral value system is heavily rooted in Judeo-Christan values that would not exist under a state of anarchy.
Wrap your brain around this thought: What if the Aztecs moral value system became the predominate values of the world? Would murder still be wrong? Or if Buddhist values dominated the world? How would an atheist value system look under those conditions?

As much as I would like to say such a way of life could exist, humans will always need to form some sort of society for protection. Take a look at the Viking or Vandal or the Huns. Many of these cultures existed with very few rules. Maybe that is why they no longer exist as separate cultures.

well that's hard to say everyone has emmbedded with in them good and bad if all the things you listed where non exsistent then there wouldn't be bad things to do!
There for everything is free game!
but sence i know of some sort of good and bad! I wouldn't do anything that i'm not doing now!
I would speed for sure! and maybe test a few other things
killing i never hated anyone that much~! people are people they do stupid stuff. oh wait there was a man i wanted to kill! but it's not worth my time and i'm greedy and well want to love my time not waste it!
but if times like these where to happen with our mind sets that most humans are at!
most of our jobs would be to survive!
best wishes

No, my moral base would not allow it. However, you bring up an excellent point. We have all grown up learning what is right and wrong, so it's engraved into our minds. What if we never had this teaching? To be honest, I think it's impossible to know for sure. Every single person would be different than they are now with a different upbringing. It's impossible to tell, or be proven. Who we are as people is defined greatly upon what we have been taught.

this is kind of an unanswerable question, cuz i would like to say id still be a good person, but if i was raised in a world where doin bad stuff was the more accepted and widely done thing, im sure i would be a much different person than i am today

GOOD QUESTION! No I would not. Although it probably depends on if I had ever learned that doing those things were bad. But I do believe in a conscience and I think a lot of people would follow that as a guideline.

You know, i had this question asked to me in HS. i obviously said no rules hell yeah! And that I would kill the person that killed my mom, and what justice would come to me if something happened to me? And in that discussion it was brought to light that it is easier to have the justice system than complete anarchy.

Total Chaos. if this existed since we were all born, we would do all sorts of bad things because at an early age you are easily influenced. if it happened now, no I wouldn't kill people im not a bad person.

But how would we know what is bad? what would define good-right, bad-wrong. We would not know. We would be living without a purpose. It would be a world of total chaos and havoc
