I almost titled this post "Kids Are Dumb" but then I realized that nearly half of Americans would probably agree with the priorities of children under 10.
The poll of just under 1,500 youngsters ranked "God" as their tenth favourite thing in the world, with celebrity, "good looks" and being rich at one, two and three respectively. ...Meanwhile "killing" and "wars" head the list of the "very worst things in the world", followed by drunks, bullies, illness, smoking, stealing, divorce and being fat. Dying is in tenth place. ...
The children who answered the survey would also put a stop to stealing, but wanted more holidays and more hospitals.
Sounds like the list was made by the Democrat Party! (Except for "divorce".) And what would happen if we put them in charge?
Asked what rules they would make if they were king or queen of the world, the number one response from the under-10s was to ban knives and guns.They would also put a stop to fighting and killing, telling lies, drugs, bullying, drunks, and smoking.
Knives? Good luck cutting your tofurkey on Thanksgiving Academy Awards night.
Meh. YOu're kinda funny, but you feed into that whole "left wing conspiracy" thing. You'll notice one thing here in St Louis-- We are die hard democrats, or definitely lean left. If you want to live in Republican world, cross the river to Illinois. You'll find plenty of them there.
As far as the kids go, it truly is funny to think that they are biased. Theses are CHILDREN, and unless they watch Faux News 24/7, they are going to have the correct and moral answer.
Hey dude..lighten up..their just kids. Do you really think killing and wars are a good thing? And hey, they did rank being rich high on their priorities..thats a conservative thing right? :-)
I just think that opinion surveys of children are absurd. The only possible point can be to create a "the children are so wise because they hate guns and knives" aura that completely ignores reality. (Rhyme unintended.)
Manish: Wealth, killing, and wars are all neutral things whose goodness depends entirely on the circumstances. Simplistic surveys like this obscure more truth than they reveal.
