Get a regular job and work for a bit. You'll quickly come to change your mind.
but i've had real jobs, and i've found that while a few are hard to get along with, most everyone i've been around have been just fine.
so define what you mean by assholes. do you think people are naturally evil? or are you saying that people are just selfish and display what they want to, when they want to? does that make them evil, or just (non-evil) assholes?
i do agree with the latter...i think society has become very me,me,me and have disregarded manners and etiquette to the wayside, but i do think that people are GENERALLY good. i think there are ALWAYS going to be rotten eggs out there, and yes, i think they are wired to be that way (nature.) but i would like to think that people, while having very selfish tendencies they aren't afraid to show, are good and kind at heart, and have a flat assumption of right and wrong.
