Should Kids Control The World? [Poll]

Post by GLCQuantum »

This has been my thoughts for quite some time now.

Kids nowadays are more adept than the stoneman was and they seemed to do okay. I am extremely fortunate that I get to witness 'this' side of humanity on a day to day basis. A kind that has not yet been corrupted by greed and power. A kind that doesn't hold onto grudges for more than a few hours. As kids they are generally far better human beings than 90% of them will be when they hit 30.

I think the whole world should be handed over to them and start from scratch... the adults becoming slaves as such (the workers/teachers/etc)

Can you imagine wars starting over oil.... wars would become a thing of the past.

People in need would actually be helped due to sincere compassion, rather than 'looking good' in other people's eyes.

The World would become one rather than racist.

Money would be split evenly (apart from the few 'bullies') rather than given to the elite - a kid just wants some sweets... not half of China.

Poverty would become a thing of the past...Kid's share whatever they got in their pocket if another kid doesn't have it.

Kids would allow internet to run freely between all countries as some countries have better online games than others... that's the only pie they want a piece of.

I think, whence you hit 12, you should become a 'slave' (on a better salary than you get now as the money is spread... but your only duty is to help and overlook the running of the world by our kids)

The kids have their 4 year terms from 8-12 and then they too... become workers for the new people in charge. A peaceful world with kids calling the shots - adults simply assisting.

Sounds bizarre sure... but think about it! :D

Kids?

What age?
What level of education?
What knowledge of life and world?

Certainly my kids (in their thirties) know better than me now about what's going down.

Still, I voted you a nutter :laugh:

Something like that but not entirely. You can't doubt that kids are more innocent than adults.

I believe, as with many things, Thailand leads the world and they already have this system in place. Only the age of the kids differs from your scenario. :rasta:

I can understand your way of thinking GLCQuantum, But the idea has many floors. Kids don't have world knowledge etc. Sorry, but i think the gin and tonic has got too you.

Bullshit. No wars over oil, sure. They'd be warring over sweets and video games. And over time, they'd realize just how much of these they could have if they could find something valuable to sell. They'd then realize the financial value of oil and... hey.
Money would be split evenly (apart from the few 'bullies') rather than given to the elite - a kid just wants some sweets... not half of China.
And you don't think that the 'few bullies' would get together, form gangs, and gain control of the population that way?

And why do you think money would be split evenly just if kids were ruling the world? I never remember getting together in the playgrounds with all my mates, putting money into a big pool, and spreading it out evenly! Did that happen in your school? Does it happen where you teach?!!
Poverty would become a thing of the past...Kid's share whatever they got in their pocket if another kid doesn't have it.
No they don't.

some do. some don't. Just like adults.

Sounds bizarre sure... but think about it! :D

I'll put that one down as an 'I Understand your sentiments but not sure' then.
