So. I'm a jaded cynic and pretty much believe that human beings are fundamentally scum. As a great man once said, "when I'm in a crowd of people, I always wonder 'who left all this shit everywhere? You're shit, I'm shit, we're all shit'.
I'm just wondering what the ratio is on this site of optimists vs. pessimists when it comes to human nature. I would make a third option, like "It depends", or "Humorous non-sequitur!", but whenever I see one of those in a poll I choose it just to spite the scientific method, so just answer in a world of BLACK AND WHITE ABSOLUTISM.
(Obviously no one believes the world is purely good or purely bad, but you must believe that human nature is more one than the other.)
