a question on odds?

Question

if you could define people into good and bad..dont you believe that the "bad" people are pro-creating at a faster pace...thereby raising children to be bad and causing the odds of people increasing to the bad side.just an odd thought..what are your opinions

my thinking is that good people settle down and raise familysof one or two while idiots go out and have tons of children raised neglected under a bad influence

Answer 1

What you're saying as "bad" is the stereo-typical scene at Wal Mart of the Obese mother screaming at the top of her lungs at two of her seven filthy children. The youngest, an infant, sits there with snot and food all over its face and instead of getting picked at by an older sibling, should be getting a diaper change. Why "Moma" (if that's her real name) thinks these kids should behave is beyond everyone else in the store. Everyone else in the store knows that when moma's at home, she turns these kids loose like cattle and screams "go outside, I can't stand you brats anymore!" Never a loving word, a decent meal, a good book, or any other action that resembles what many people would consider standard parenting.

Statistics show that most criminals and general malcontents come from this type of family. I don't think exposure to these type of people causes others to become bad or overly influenced by them. Generally, they just become their victims at the most and frustations at the least.

Answer 2

you usually (if not always) have to teach kids how to do the right thing, not teach them how to be bad. so, all kids are born and start off in the bad category. they only turn good, when they are taught to do good.

thus, anyone born is bad to start. there are not many people who are able or willing to teach other kids to be good. so it's very dependent on good parents teaching bad kids to be good.

it's not that the "bad" people are procreating faster. The point is everyone is procreating, but the teaching to be good is not keeping up with the birthrate... poor parenting, probably because they had poor parenting... a never-ending cycle, unless someone who is good teaches other people's bad children. the public schools don't do it, so who can teach other people's children to be good? television? ha! not a chance.

Answer 3

Poor uneducated people who can't support their families tend to reproduce faster. I don't know if that necessarily makes them "bad."

I am a morally bad person, and I don't plan to reproduce at all.

Answer 4

I would think bad parents make better people, kids, parents when they grow up.

Good parents, make mostly good people, but also generate bad.

Answer 5

How about those of us that cannot have children? Where do we fall in your odds? No.

Answer 6

i agree somewhat, but the good people will have greater power, so the balance continues
