5% of the people cause 95% of the problems in the world. The rest of us are just trying to get by and live decent modest lives.

No i don't agree. We're all causing problems in our societies. But we're all also trying to live out our lives as well too.

That's a tough one. Everyone causes problems. Everyone has issues and baggage that affects others, so I'd have to say I disagree. On the other hand, a very small percentage of people (maybe 5%? I don't know) actually create problems that affect a significant amount of people, or harm others to a great degree. So, I also agree.

I disagree. The problems of this world require the work of, as many people as possible, to solve them and make a better world. The 5 % you mention are out of control, and more the results of us, not addressing certain problems, than anything else. We have a lot of abuse in our society, and this is fertile ground to produce some bad people. We need to realyze, that the problems of this world, need to be addressed, or our future will not be pretty.

Disagree.
Regardless of the percentiles....each one of us has a moral responsibility to be active problem solvers.
We all shoulder some of the responsibility for the problems, we can't pass all the blame onto a small percentage of people and just stand by and watch, without accepting the role of enabling.

A whole lot more than 5%.
I agree with the idea, but not the statistics given in your question.

You are very true.
See George W. Bush has managed to get over 100,000 men women and children killed in many countries. Being born agains Christian he must thinks heaven is waiting for him for the fantastic job he is doing for America. And there are many more such leaders around this world who bring chaos in the world and their actions bring deaths to thousands of innocen people.

Eh, maybe. I think the bad apples constitute a little more than 5% of the people in our world, though.

I guess I can agree with that, but I don't know about the 5% figure.
