Would it be a good thing if everyone was like you?

[Bretrick]

Not in appearance but with the same morals, same interests, same likes, same dislikes, same...

 

[mrstime]

Yeah sure. However it would be awfully boring.

 

[hollydolly]

Not in appearance but with the same morals, same interests, same likes, same dislikes, same...

yep.... !! lol

 

[oldaunt]

Perhaps morals, but the rest? Nope. I'm boring.

 

[VaughanJB]

No. What a horrible idea. Who would I learn from? I need complementary and opposite virtues and ideas, that way I can bounce off them and come to a greater understanding. I mean, I like who I am, but damn, if this is doing things right, then we're doomed.

As long as there is conversation, the exchange of ideas and ideals without rancor, we can all learn, imo. We learn less from people just like ourselves.

Not in appearance but with the same morals, same interests, same likes, same dislikes, same...

It wouldn't be a bad thing at all, but we are all different and it should remain that way IMO.

 

[Marie5656]

No..too much sameness would be boring. I mean, we do tend to drift toward like minded, or similar minded people to develop friendships....but if all were like us,,no.
Thatis what makes places like this cool...people of different lives, sharing their own experiences. We are of similar ages, here, but sharing different views in a civil manor is what keeps the good folks coming back

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Nooooo!

 

[JBR]

I agree that some sort of agreement on ethics is crucial to any society intent on the common good. Without that, there's too much mayhem & chaos.

But diversity is important, not "sameness" among a population. Look at all the different sorts who make up the residents of a reasonably harmonious community. Isn't diversity something good about SF?

 

[Naturally]

... we wouldn't get along

 

[JBR]

... we wouldn't get along

You mean the different members of SF wouldn't realistically get along?

 

[Georgiagranny]

Hell to the no! I (we) would be bored witless

 

[Naturally]

You mean the different members of SF wouldn't realistically get along?

I mean I'm not perfect and if everyone were like me, we'd butt heads somewhere along the line.
And knowing me, we likely couldn't make it past the stubborn head butts ... maybe

 

[fuzzybuddy]

If everybody was just like me?
OMG!! NO!! My shadow only sticks with me because he has to.

 

[PurplePansies]

Lord, NO!

 

[birdy]

It would be a Mexican standoff.

 

[helenbacque]

Same morals/ethics but differ in most other ways. Old saying …. “Variety is the spice of life.”

 

[Michael Z]

Oh boy!

 

[Mr. Ed]

I would lose my individuality.

 

[caroln]

This reminds me of the Stepford Wives movie. It did not end well.

 

[Mr. Ed]

With identical everything who would be who?

 

[katlupe]

No way! Life would be so boring (not that I am boring) if everyone was the same. How could you stand out if we were all the same? Even in a herd of animals that looks the same to us are each unique and has their own personality, likes and dislikes.

 

[Pepper]

I'd be bored stiff, heck NO!

 

[debodun]

Hell, no. What a boring world it would be.

 

[C50]

No, most days I don't even like myself. Why would I want an entire world of mes? I'd have no friends.
