http://en.wikipedia....rd_of_the_Flies Agreed with wits. yay! I give you frustration in return for agreeing with me. [hide][/hide] Dammit wits! And I was thinking of younger kids, the kids in that book were already old enough to have been influenced. But who knows, the same thing might happen. Also, who doesn't like boobs, in my opinion much to his own peril. oh.. then the above image doesn't offend him! awesome. Anyways... here is the thing.. younger kidsdo have an agenda... The agenda is that they should get whatever they want. Were they to be given huge power, they would abuse it for their own selfish interests. Empathy is learned after all... and young kids are very easily influenced and impressionable. Kids who aren't properly disciplined think they can get whatever they want. And also you have brought up the major difficulty with the plan. It would be extremely difficult to raise them to a proper age where they weren't influenced. I don't ever really expect this to happen but the main idea is that kids view the world so simply and and face value, whereas we get older we twist and distort things. There is no right or wrong. would you kill a single person even though this person did no wrong, just so 20 people could live? A child would not be able to make that decision.. Depending on how a child was brought up, he/she would either say don't kill the person.. or not want to be the one to make the decision after all. It's not really that all adults are evil and all childen are innocent... Sometimes the simplest decision is one that only an evil person could make. >_>
