Anything is possible. But I do not think EVERYONE is bad and mean. I am. At times. But not all the time.

Yes. To make it confusing though, I have analyzed the meaning of bad and mean and don't like the implication. I believe it is human nature these things regarded as such. Self preservation is a human instinct, most people have the attitude of if it's me or him- I'll take him out. Also, unless you are a psychologist and have studied the inner workings of the brain, why worry if what you feel is mean or bad? It is the way you feel, and it should be respected without a bunch of analyzation and psychobabble for just that.

No, I do not think everyone is mean or bad, but I know everyone is capable of being such if they choose too. Unfortunately a lot of people choose that route. I am seeing many children following this pattern and it is very sad. Cruelty seems to be a pattern in today's society that many use to make them self feel superior to others. I had hoped we as a culture had evolved above this type of mentality, but it rages on. All I can say is be the one that turns this around, be nice!

Under the right circumstances, nearly everyone can be. Normally, we're all just trying to make things better for ourselves, and any meanness is simply an unintended by-product. Some people are more malicious than others. Making generalizations about the entire human race can close your eyes to the good in people.

I'm not bad nor mean - so if I'm not, then there must be more nice people.
So, not I do not think that everybody is bad or mean.

I think that people act out in different ways from what they have been exposed to or something has happened to them. I think that people can be mean and good at the same time.

No..I believe that for every bad apple you have an equal good apple....if you meet some very mean people, then there are people equally as nice out there to counterbalance.

Everybody, I don't care what they say has a little of both in them.

I think the majority is, which means that meeting a good person is something really special.

No - all are really good. However, we learn all sorts of nonsense which make us behave badly to each other thinking its good.
