I'm sorry if you're experiencing something that's upsetting you so much that you hate most all people right now. I hope it's not the way you feel on a daily basis. That would be a tough existence indeed.
I do not choose to define you by this one question, as most the rest of the answerers seem to have.
You may be interested to know - or you may already know - God has destroyed relatively large groups of people in the past who were involved in wicked things such as child sacrifice (as in the case of the Canaanites), debased sexual wrongs (as in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah) and extreme violence and physical abuse (as in the case of the flood) among other things.
It certainly is unfair that righteous, meek people must be constantly affected by people who choose to ruin themselves, others and this planet. But the Bible, at Revelation 11:18, explains that God will soon "bring to ruin those ruining the earth."
Psalm 37:10, 11, 29 says, "And just a little while longer and the wicked will be no more; and you will certainly give attention to his place and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace...The righteous themselves will possess the earth and they will reside forever upon it."
Just how many people on the earth today are "wicked" and how many are "righteous?" We cannot know the number or the percentage precisely, but the Bible makes it clear that the majority of mankind is on the "wide and spacious road leading to destruction" and very few are on the "narrow and cramped road leading to life." (Matthew 7:13)
However, you can gain a lot of peace by adopting God's view of the situation. Though he will do what is necessary to clean up the earth and make life worth living for those who are willing to meet his requirements, "Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not wish any to be destroyed, but desires all to attain to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)
If you look at people causing you hardship or pain of any kind as people who potentially will eventually see the light of truth and make changes for the better, just like Saul who later became known as the Apostle Paul, you will find greater joy in life now.
I highly recommend you get yourself a copy of the book called What Does the Bible Really Teach? I'm sure it will help you deal with troubling situations and so far unanswered questions or unsatisfying answers you've received elsewhere.
I wish you well!

I think we need these numbers in order to facilitate the next level of consciousness, we are at the breaking point of either learning unity or destroying ourselves. No worries in 100 years the numbers will be much lower either way. Let me say that if you want to help, then bring more good into the world not anger and hate......

Wow, you've got some major anger issues I would guess. I think you are about 65 years too late as Hitler was killed after WWII.
I would venture to guess your life is pretty sad to make a statement like that.

If you were to accomplish this task, please place the bodies in a buffet line near a source of water and napkins. Mmmm, I'm salivating at the thought.
