Wow. That's a frightening attitude! It
scares me to think that there are actually people in this world with
that kind of attitude. Yikes! I have a lot of fears as a parent. One of
them is knowing that my children have to grow up in a world where
parents teach their children warped and selfish attitudes like these!!!
I thought this pole was a joke. I thought everyone would vote that
they want their 5 year old to share. I must be living in a dream world.
Wow, 20% would want to see other kids fail a math exam? How many 5 year
olds take math exams? I know a math teacher. A human-hearted person
would want everyone to do their best.
Man, it's hard to not get on a soap box. I'm far from perfect, but
it seems to me the biggest problem with this world - the mess everyone
is in - is because children grow up to be greedy selfish adults - all
competing to be #1. They grow up this way because that's what the see
their parents doing - regardless of what they're told.
I can hear it now. "Oh, lighten up. This is just a fun poll."
Well...the results don't lie. Kudos to all who would rather see their 5
year old sharing. Those of you who don't, please reconsider for the
sake of humanity.
