    I would guess any number who believes that war and violence are a necessity in solving or social ills. Another large number would come from a group that is extreme in their fundamentalist beliefs that they are blind to other thoughts or philosophies. Another would be anyone who is intolerant. So, all in all, that would be 4-5 billion of the world's population.

    Going by what I see in real life, it would be 50% of the worlds population that are simply idiots. 25% can't see past their religion and be receptive to other points of view. 25% don't want any other way of life.

    In the school of Psychology Idiot is defined as: a person of the lowest order in a former classification of mental retardation, having a mental age of less than three years old and an intelligence quotient under 25.

    I would have to ask why? Maybe one, the person who asked this question. Very immature.
