Question

Are most people in this world generally "good" people (like they don't commit crimes & felonies)?

Answer 1

No. I believe most people are corrupt one way or another unfortunately. I'm an honest person but that's a trait I rarely find in others...

Answer 2

Yes; otherwise, we would still be cavemen.....

Answer 3

Most people in general are good people.  The live their lives in honest and decent ways.  They go to work and make and honest living and can go to sleep each and every night with a clear conscience.  There are always "bad" people who take the easy way out of everything because they are lazy and greedy.  They don't care about others and only think of themselves.  The funniest thing is that when they get caught up in a jam and want to "change" they actually expect the "good" people to believe that they can.  Everyone makes mistakes, we are human.  We are man, sin began when God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the Fruit of the Tree and it happened.  But that doesn't mean we all should live our lives in sin.  The "majority" of people are good and decent people.  It is the few bad seeds that "stick out" like sore thumbs that make us worry and wonder.

Peace & Love :)

Answer 4

Being a criminal doesn't necessarily make you a bad person. There is a difference between good people who do bad things, and bad people who do bad things. I think that a 'bad' person would have done a lot of things to be classified that way before they even thought of committing a crime. I think that 99% of the world's population is awful. This goes way farther than the justice system.

Answer 5

Absolutely!  If you don't watch the news all the time - you would not hear all the negative.  It makes it seem like so much is bad, when in fact so much more is good.
