Do you like people?

I'm not so great with people, but I recognise that they have their merits and faults. I just prefer my own company a lot of the time.

...

Yes I do.

That's about my entire opinion.

Sometimes I don't care.

I love humanity. I hate much of what it does to itself, to the world, and to non-humans but I do love humanity. I have faith in its potential as well. Hope for that.

Though I look at the world and fear that we will just continue as we are.

A better way of putting what I was trying to say in my post.

I effing LOVE PEOPLE.

I find the key is imagining them complexly. But really, how can you not love people? Sure, like any population there's ones that do bad stuff, but the majority of them do it without meaning to do anything bad at all. And when you look at all the awesome stuff we also do, which generally is done on purpose... it's hard to fight.

Besides, people are fun! You can talk to them and do things with them and it's totes awesome. Even if you're one of those "I hate people, just give me a book forever, please" people, who do you think makes books? Video games? Everything else that anyone has ever used to shelter themselves from people? That's right, other people.

Are people perfect? Heck no. But that's no reason to look down on them, and you might as well get used to being one.

I agree with that.

I have a love/hate relationship with people.

I don't have much of an opinion on humanity as a whole. While people generally irritate me, I think it's more because the obnoxious ones are always far more noticeable. You could say that I don't so much dislike people as being around people. There are plenty whom I respect out there, just as there are plenty I dislike or maybe even despise.

This basically sums it up for me.

Large groups of people make me nervous, individuals not so much.

I like humanity as a species, there are a lot of larger scale groups I more or less approve of, and I know far more individuals I like than I actively dislike.

Based on that, I'm gonna say I like people.

I'm thankful for how many people in here have given a positive opinion of people. I probably shouldn't be as shocked as I am about how many people in here seem so spiteful and misanthropic toward humanity, for reasons that should be obvious.

I generally tend to deal with my opinions of people on an individual basis and don't like to make blanket statements, but I suppose if I had to, it'd be pretty much what Aon said.

I love people. They taste great with ketchup

That doesn't count, everything tastes great with ketchup.

Ten bonus points to the fool who feels the need to point to something that doesn't.

The majority of them? No.

Tacos don't.

Well, I can say that I'm interested in people. In that sense, I rather like people. There are individuals which I dislike, but as a whole, I think mankind isn't all that bad.

Are people perfect? Nope. But I think its the imperfections that make them interesting.

I enjoy other people, as long as they're not giant douches. And I don't think that everyone is a douche. Why should I base all people upon a Vocal Minority of douches? I should openly embrace people; there's a high chance that they're not a douche. And if they are, well, I'm going to hit a non-douche sooner than I think.

I neither hate nor love humanity. I can understand people who do so though, but I don't agree with them. I won't say "Fuck yes, humanity!" because genocide, racism, homophobia, rape and etc. But I also won't say "Fuck no, humanity!" because love, helpfulness, tolerance, understanding and etc.

It's a mixed bag.

In general? Absolutely!

Here? Heeeeeell no.

Nope.avi I dislike-to-hate people and society in general.

Edgy enough to slice bread with.

I like humans as a science project but not potential interactions. They need to stay on there side of the safety glass.

I like specific individuals. I try my best to be ambivalent on humanity in general, but usually suspect that I'm giving them far too much credit.

I generally find them confusing as hell. But in a good way.
