No really. Who commits the majority of crimes worldwide? Who does the most horrible, evil things to fellow humans? Who are responsible for the ills of society? Certainly not children!

Cripes, give the little things a break. I'll hate them when the grow up. Let them be for now.

It might also have something to do with the fact that:

1) Children are generally confined to home and school most of the time

2) The vast majority of the earth's population are adults, thus it stands to reason most of the crimes therein will be committed by them. Reverse the demographics, and I'm sure you'd find a lot more kid on kid violence.

3) Children lack the influence and ability to be responsible for most of society's 'ills'

So.... you're joking, right?

Don't forget adults also are responsible for the greatest achievements in human history too. They are responsible for the vast, vast majority of everything in the world good or bad. Kids don't really do that much.

1) Nonetheless, they still have opportunity for evil.
2) Nonetheless, more violence is still done by adults overall.
3) This is not a position they themselves chose, so is moot.
4) Yes.

I don't think he is. I think we're dealing with a case of teenage angst.

The thing with children is they don't actually appreciate the dangers of the real world, yet at the same time they firmly believe they do. I'm using dangers here in the very general sense of the world, it extends from muggers in the park, to failing exams and thereby not going to University/College.

Therefore children view their parents as control frieks. They generally grow out of this at a later age when they get a bit more common sense.

I am using perfect logic. More babies are born per second than people die per second. Thus there are more children in the world than adults. Plus growing up anywhere in the world is hazardous, it takes alot for kids to grow into adults. So by the time one generation of kids become adults alot of 'em have died off. But since more babies are being born every second, than the adult/child ratio stays about the same. If there were ever more adults in the world than kids the population would start to decline, that's why we're overpopulating, there's more of us than there are of you.

Youre failing to consider that "child" means anyone under 18, so you've really only got the 1-18 age range to work with there. an adult can be 18-120. Much larger demographic. Perfect logic my ass.

Just because America has more adults than children in it doesn't mean that's the same for the rest of the world.

I know perfectly well that a child is considered a child until they're 18, but I'm speaking more of kids from 1 day to like 10 years. I'll say it again, if there were more adults than kids in the world the population would decrease.

Incorrect.

In ten years or so you'll know (hopefully) why your assumption is not valid.

The fact is, despite (i'll give you the benefit of the doubt that your first assumption is right without checking) birth rates being higher than death rates, the majority of the world's population remains greater than 18.

aw, heck, I'll provide proof:

from the CIA World Fact Book:

0-14 years: 27.8% (male 919,726,623; female 870,468,158)
15-64 years: 64.9% (male 2,117,230,183; female 2,066,864,970)
65 years and over: 7.3% (male 207,903,775; female 263,627,270)

note: I doubt highly that 15-17 will make up for that huge gap (15-17 are considered minors in the US). Even if you can attribute another 10% of the world's population to those aged 15-17, you're still looking at about 5 out of every 8 humans on the planet being 18+ years old (62.2%).

Fine, whatever, you win. But let's just see what happens when the death rate (which is still more adults than children) gets larger than the birth rate, shall we? You go encourage people to not have children, and then we'll see what happens.

The problem ain't adult or childish. It's about education, respect, culture. Though they have less knowledge and wisdom, I admire children for their innocence and vision of life. We should listen a little more to children, some of their ideas are the most wise you can find out there. On the other side, children must listen to adults, because they need us, and, later, these little brats ;) will be mature adults.

Look at the pyramids to see that there is more adults worldwide than children, it's easy. Have the sum for everything over 20, and the sum for all under 20... http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/idbsum.html

Not really... of course it depends how you define "kid", if all under 18 or just under 15, 12, 5, whatever... But the fact is, outside of Europe and America, most of the population ARE kids...

Now you can blame kids the underdevelopment of their countries if you want, but that is a whole different thing...

We already know what will happen. Population growth can be modeled very accurately with a logistic equation (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LogisticEquation.html). Population grows slowly at first, exponentially when it increases to a point that there are a sufficient number of births, and finally as it approaches the carrying capacity of the environment it grows logarithmically.

In the developed world there are many countries with a zero growth rate and in parts of Europe there is already a negative growth rate. That doesn't mean those countries will die, it just means that a population shift will occur. People from overpopulated areas will move to those that do not have as many people.

Murder

Europe and America (not counting Russia) come to, what, about 1 billion people total?

there's no way that a population of 1 billion can impact age distribution statistics of a world of 6.5 billion people to such a degree (remember, around 65% of the world's population is aged 18+)... if everywhere outside the US and Europe, there are more kids than adults.

if such were the case, the world under-18 demographic would be much greater as a % of total population.
-----
example (if this were the world with kids outnumbering adults everywhere outside of US and Europe):

let's say that 75% (arbitrarily high, but will help prove the point) of 1 billion people are adults.... that gives us 750 million adults and 250 million minors.

let's say that 50.1% (roughly the lowest possible majority) of the 5.5 billion in the rest of the world are kids... that gives us, let's see here... 2,755,500,000 kids and 2,744,500,000 adults.

which would give us a world population comprised of 3,005,500,000 kids and 3,494,500,000 adults.

if such were the case, and kids barely outnumbered adults in the rest of the world, the totals would be 46.24% under 18 and 53.76% over 18.

If there were more kids than that outside the US and Europe, the % of kids overall would increase (of course). But with roughly the smallest possible majority, the % of kids overall is 46.24%.

According to the CIA, approximately 65% of the world's population are adult... which means that about 35% of the world's people are under the age of 18.

35% < 46.24%

It is impossible, therefore, that the rest of the world has more kids than adults... based on the CIA's stats, of course. hehe

18 if I am not mistaken is the adult age in US

So your numbers were corrupted

Anyway to compare a large amount of numbers (Adults) to the much less number of people (children) then you have to go by the percentages.

Fine you hate adults still, then they should stop taking care of you. Dont asak them for money, employment, food, water, supplies and dont use the machines they built. Lets see so if there were no adults then all the children would be dead but couldnt start since children are formed by...

Adults aren't control freaks? Last I checked they were obsessed with controlling everything in their lives, from their diets to their noses. People are starting to screw with things they couldn't previously control, like genetics. If a kid does something besides work, they usually hear about it.(You crossed the street by yourself? You threw a snowball against the wall? You bought a pack of gum with money you found on the sidewalk? You had a friendly conversation about last night's baseball game with a stranger?? You're going to your room young man!) The strange thing is adults complain about what kids are doing, but I'm sure most of those adults(especially those from the hippie era) did the exact same thing. In fact they're probably the cause of it. I don't think people talked about screwing people they weren't married to before the hippies came around. People didn't do a lot of dope before the hippies came around. Basically the hippies pretty much screwed up life for everyone, and now us young'ns have to hear about. It's hard enough that I have to bike home worrying about whether or not one of my neighbors just got busted, but then get yelled at by a cop for being out too late.

18 if I am not mistaken is the adult age in US

So your numbers were corrupted

Anyway to compare a large amount of numbers (Adults) to the much less number of people (children) then you have to go by the percentages.

Fine you hate adults still, then they should stop taking care of you. Dont asak them for money, employment, food, water, supplies and dont use the machines they built. Lets see so if there were no adults then all the children would be dead but couldnt start since children are formed by...

And stop saying nuh uh it annoys me it serves no purpose. Just say no it is much shorter and easier to type, and it makes no sense. The last time i heard nuh uh was from a three year old.


Ahem, NU HUH! NU HUH! NU HUH! NU HUH! NU HUH! NU HUH! So how do you know I'm not three? NU HUH!

I don't hate all adults, just some. In fact, I like most of the ones I know (which is mostly my teachers).

NU HUH, NU HUH, and NU HUH!

No really. Who commits the majority of crimes worldwide? Who does the most horrible, evil things to fellow humans? Who are responsible for the ills of society? Certainly not children!

Cripes, give the little things a break. I'll hate them when the grow up. Let them be for now.


Your nuts.... and probably like 10 years old

If you hate adults? then your better kill urself soon or your gonna hate urself.

You cant go round making sweeping statements like that man.. Its like saying all white people smell, or all black people are dumb???? It makes no sence.

Maybee (in your eyes) adults seem so bad, because adults get the freedom to do what they want.

Children are looked after by the adults so there is less freedom to go out and do bad stuff.

Although.. Ive met some evil little sh*ts in my time.

What about the school shootings?
Bullying?
Peer presure.

Its not adults that are the evil ones my friend.

An evil adult will have been an evil child.

Maybee when you grow up a bit you will learn to broaden your horizons.

Are you suggesting a Logan's Run scenario, because that would be sweet ;)

Seriously, on the grounds that you're serious as well, children are far from perfect. I've had six year olds chase me with me shovels, I've had children try to steal my wallet.

Humans are inevitably good and evil, because without one there can be no other. Adults may do the most horrible things but they also do the kindest. The only problem is that evil things get better ratings on the news.

Ok, regarding the argument of "more adults than children means more adults are committing crimes"

Ok, instead of looking at the number of adults comitting crimes and the number of children comitting crimes, ask yourself:

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF ADULTS/CHILDREN COMMIT CRIMES

That will give you a dfeo answer

On second thoughts, I suppose in the centre of town on a Saturday night, they often do... :p

Nuh uh! That would be more confusing, for me anyway. My teenage mind can't handle that complex math problem, it's too busy worrying about which hormones go where. :D

Hmmmm... An emotionaly unstable (teen? child?) thinks all adults are bad. People like you make the world a horrible place. Sorry if you were just joking to inspire conversation, but in the case that you weren't, I hate you.
Why?
Because you're one of those stupid kids that stands around in doorways for no apparent reason hindering everyone around you because you don't think or care about others but you say you do.
If kids were smart they wouldn't grow up to be muggers now would they. If kids were smart they wouldn't stand around clogging up hallways.

Oh, and just in case you missed it.
I hate you!

Please, calm down. If you are a Christian then may I remind you that the Lord says that if you hate, then you murder those in your heart, and therefore you break the 6th commandment that clearly states "Thou shalt not kill".

Now, moving away from that, I think you both need to chill. You shouldn't hate somebody based on ignorance. One side says "it's children" the other "it's adults".

ADULTS AND CHILDREN ARE THE SAME! SOME IGNORANT, SOME WISE!

SOME SMART, SOME STUPID!

SOME NICE, SOME ARSEHOLES!

DEAL WITH IT!

Im sorry, I just wanted to get off the mark, your right I never properly read the whole topic.

Couldnt find a "say hi" forum so thought id do it here.

Hello :D

To continue discussion (if it is a discussion, not just messin about)

What type of adult a person is = what type of experiences they have had growing up.

Hundreds of thousands of incidents shape what type of person some 1 is.

Individually adults are smart, put them together and we are like a flock of sheep, follow the crowd.

Nutters usually! either do-not have any friends or have milder nutter friends (following the crowd)

This may or may not have been said, but

It is kids who become the adults who commit the crimes...

So therefore, using my twisted logic, kids commit all the crimes, though sometimes after they reach adulthood. How do you like that, biznipe!?

Please, calm down. If you are a Christian then may I remind you that the Lord says that if you hate, then you murder those in your heart, and therefore you break the 6th commandment that clearly states "Thou shalt not kill".

The sixth commandment actually states "Thou shalt not commit adultery." It is the fifth commandment that says "thou shalt not kill." Same deal though. On a related note, if you hate you murder those in your heart, like silver wings said. So it's not good to hate. It's like T.I. says:

Don't be a groupie keep it movin shorty,
You dun't know me,
I ain't trippin, tell the truth cuz really,
You dun't know me,
And you know they call me T.I.,
but you dun't know me,
You be hatin' and I see why,
cuz you dun't know me.

Moving away from that, nobody responded to my post so I guess I won. Anyway, I think Bashan is right.
