What do you think? Tell all here!

sounds good on the surfacebut underneath, it is a set-up for a totalitarianism government. they wish to govern language, guide reproduction (ie, select mates for everyone), rule passion, faith, tradition and all things tempered with reason. that right there is why i think this is a crock. if you regulate those things you make everyone the same, you control faith? no, you take those things and forcing people to be the same.50% Voted for by Kazrith, Applehead, opera ghostess.
how can you control passion?
there are so many traditions out there, people wouldnt even follow it.
no, this is not a good thing -
If onlyWell at first it seemed like a crazy insane cult from the cover page, but if you go in and read the story behind it it seems very interesting.Voted for by me alone.
A word to the wise kind of moment. If only, if only... -
Blew me away.I find it...accurate. Only when we are aware of nature can we protect it and prosper with it. I do have my own views on the 'infinity'. I interpret it as life and nature, and with 'faith', I see our beliefs in general, not just religion.Voted for by Oral Fixation.
I think that over time, we can abide by these rules. China's begun in a sense: Limiting childbirth. We have a United Nations, but we need to be more involved. It can work.
We just have to REALLY try. -
Interesting to think...what if these were the "God given" 10 commandments Moses walked down the mountain with?Voted for by dollar.
The world certaintly would of been different today...
I honestly don't believe these guidstones will be able to cause any changes in the world. At least not the world we know. The world humans have created to this day is way too developed with old religious beliefs and traditions that unless after some years we destroy most of ourselves through war or some natural worldwide disaster happens and there are only a very small amount of humans left afterwards; They find these stones, believe them to be "god given", and put their rules into practice. Otherwise they shall remain just another part of the landscape and nothing more.

I think
you have many good points. I think by passion they mean having oodles and oodles of babies to 'express your love', which I am compelled to do sometimes. You can't just over-populate your Earth like we're doing...gets stuffy and cramped and we end up polluting up the wazoo.I think also, in a sense, making everyone 'the same' would benefit. All of us as one people. As humans, we're a race, but we let the colors and religions divide us. Why not all be at peace with having our own beliefs instead of having wars and solving them by blowing each other up? By settling conflicts amoungst ourselves in the global government, we don't have to bring in a bazillion people from each nation to blow each other up. Less war. More love.
Haha, make love not war. But as the guidestone says, don't be a fool. Wrap your tool.
Maybe condoms will be free everywhere.

There is only two ways to unify the world underneath an ideation that people will not follow. Make them, or break them. Force or destruction. When one likes an ideal so much that they want everyone else to agree, and they want this to be written in stone, then they run the risk of becoming a fascist.

I'm not getting that from the stones...
I see nothing about controlling who we can love and who we can have relationships with. I see nothing about rejecting the homosexual and the mentally retarded. I see nothing about not being allowed to be different. I see the world being more tight-knit with each other. I see making it harder to get a license for children. I see embracing each others differences so we may all live in peace.As always, 'can't we all just get along?'

2) guiding reproduction wisely - increasing fitness and diversity
4) Rule passion - faith - tradition - and all things with tempered reason.
and here
9) Prize truth - beauty - love - seeking harmony with the infinite

uh huh
sometimes i wish people would have to get a special license in order to have children... so they'd for sure be good contenders for parents, but really, it is just totalitarianism... it is... yeah... um... Hitler tried to create a perfect world (fascism)... L. Ron Hubbard tried to create a perfect world (Scientology)... where did that get us? yeah... crapApril 14, 2007
