If they were mostly bad society could not function.

**Jens Van Assterdam** · 03-28-2008, 04:50 AM

1. Human beings are good in general. Most people are friendly, sincere, kind, they don't resort to agression or violence, they can be trusted and will not fuck you over. Basically, most people are good. Only a small minority are "bad apples".

Voted.

2. Most people are bad, can't be trusted, they will lie, cheat, fuck you over if it benefits them, finding someone truly friendly, genuine, good, trustworthy, ethical is very hard nowadays.
Voted

Let me suggest a third option:

3. Most people are someone else's tools (think about it!)

**polosas** · 03-28-2008, 05:26 AM

bad i think because they can look in your eyes and smile to you but think how to bite you.

**MissMina** · 03-28-2008, 06:22 AM

#2 In the end everyone is always looking out for #1 and no one else. Humans are shady as a whole.

**jalami** · 03-28-2008, 06:33 AM

A bit of 1 and a bit of 2 -- people are generally good, but good people can often resort to doing bad things.

I am with u on this.

**nico-t** · 03-28-2008, 07:09 AM

most people are bad. It's not called a 'dog eat dog world' for nothing, thats a fact...
also think about when people have the most fun in general conversations: gossiping and laughing about other people... just think about the last conversation yo had that made you really laugh out loud... 9 times out of 10 it was becuase of joking or ridiculing someone.

**scottybuzz** · 03-28-2008, 07:44 AM

definitley no.1

I think they are like that because of the consequences of being bad.

**AdPatron** · 03-28-2008, 08:33 AM

Most people are morons! Especially when driving!!

You can't say people are either good or bad... this can be quite relative and more realistic rather than such a naive or paranoid outlook.

I like dogs more than I do the overwhelming majority of human animals.

I hear you there man!!

My dog is actually a lot better company than most people that I meet.

Although I would love to believe that most people are inherently good with a few bad apples here and there stirring things up once in a while, it is sadly and unfortunately not the case. It is actually pretty much the exact opposite of that from what I have seen.

I myself have always tried to treat others with the compassion and kindness that I would hope to receive. Although there are those people with a certain arrogance about them that have convinced themselves that they are somehow better than everyone else and as a result will treat them as such. This arrogance is quickly realized, usually with in a few min of introduction. I have no time for people of this sort and I will politely minimize my contact with them.

I have sadly through my life come across many self-absorbed, greedy, two faced assholes that will only take action if they themselves are to profit in one way or another, giving no consideration of how their actions may affect others. On the other hand I have also been fortunate enough to make some great friends that are truly sincere and that would go out of their way to help those less fortunate without the expectation of personal gain whatsoever. Lately though it just seems that there are far more of the former and less of the latter.

**Rhesus** · 03-29-2008, 01:36 AM

I voted one. I think only a very small minority of people are not to be trusted, or totally unsympathetic. I think it just happens to be so that they somehow cluster and I've had such fortune not to group with them. Also, views on this board will be biased due to the disproportionally large prevalence of social anxiety here.

That sounds about right to me...

**After Shock Media** · 03-29-2008, 02:15 AM

Humans are just mobs only behaving because the others around them may shame them if they act out, however if the mass acts outs the heards will follow. Only a select few will always do the right thing when no one else is paying attention to them.

**basschick** · 03-29-2008, 02:44 AM

i think neither of those statements are true. good and bad are relative terms, for one thing - and i suspect that stupidity rather than badness is the cause of most problems in the world.

well social anxiety is one thing.
another thing is that perhaps this biz attracts more of the "bad apples" and the relative anonymity of it increases such behaviors even more...

**gxer** · 03-29-2008, 09:23 AM

All people are n.1

....

untill they act as n.2

**Robatolla** · 03-29-2008, 12:13 PM

it could be #1 rite now,but im leaning towards #2.Generally most people seem to be getting more and more like assholes by the second.

**ronbotx** · 03-29-2008, 12:25 PM

1) Most people in the mainstream world are basically good.

2) Most on gfy are crooked or in best case unethical.
