What % of people in this world are "bad" people? Child molesters, serial killers etc. (please dont include Winona Ryder shop lifters etc in your count)

I once heard Bill O'Reilly say 80% of people are good. That of course leaves 20% bad. 20% bad! I don't know how he arrived at this #, but if he is right, that is pretty darn scary.

You guys have a guess as to % of bad people?

judging by this last election I'd say about 52% are bad, in America.

EVERYONE has bad and good in them....we all have our good days and our bad days, even the worst criminals have a bit of good in them, and the best characters in the world, still have a corner of thier heart that is evil.


Its the small choices that are either good or bad, not the people.

Trying to take advantage of the wording on a prop makes you a bad person.

Somehow I agree with you. But ignorant/stupid doens´t always mean bad, sir.

I can't say off the top of my head, but I'd be willing to wager that a goodly chunk of them work with Mr. O'Reilly.

Depends on where you are i think.Growing up in Ny i would say maybe 60% have good intentions while down here in Nc i would say more like 80%. Now if you just did a percentage on my wifes family i would say 1% good (my nieces rabbit muffy). :icon_conf

In Nebraska it is a high percentage of good people. Very friendly peaceful state for the most part.

All in the eyes of the beholder. What makes a person bad? If I asked a girl out and she said no, how about I go back an hour later and kidnap her, take her to my place and rape her, then tell her she is going to marry me? Is that bad? In some Muslim countries that is merely taking what you deserve. Some guy on the news did just that and the court said no law was broken.
 

in your heart, you know i'm right

exactly. to know what is good, you have to first define what good means.
