Yes.
Sorry my give a damn is broken
What about the other two thirds? What about the actual children who couldn't answer this survey?
I’m sure they’re all terrible in their own unique way.
Even the children?
Don’t get me started on children
No I really want to hear your take. This is gonna be fun 🍿
The children I know don’t even like other children. You should ask them about how bad they are.
Okay but are these kids really so bad that they deserve to live in a sick society like
? And if so (they're not, no one is, but even if we assume so), isn't that the fault of 
adults and not their kids who are in the process of learning how to be humans?
Society is sick because it’s made of humans. It’s not like there’s some alien brain worm making people act shitty. They’re just shitty. So shitty not even they care about their own kids. So why should I fight biology and eight billion psychotic apes who want to destroy the planet?
So I guess you don't get surgeries or take medications or wear glasses or ward off starvation by eating?
Because the planet and most of its inhabitants did nothing to deserve this? Because most of the 8 billion humans have done nothing to deserve this? Because humans and humanity are capable of changing for the better? Because I don't want to live on a capitalist planet? Also...we were talking about
society, not the world at large, because this all started over the results of a survey of 
people, right? So you can't really use the results of this survey to extrapolate that humanity is beyond saving.
I’ve stopped believing that humans can change for the better.
And unless I’m gonna implant mind control devices in all eight billion people I’m not going to stop them being shitty.
And, yes, I think everywhere is bad. Because humans.
Society is built of people. If society sucks it’s because people suck. And society sucks.
