Children under 10 think being a celebrity is the "very best thing in the world" but do not think quite as much of God, a survey has revealed.
The poll of just under 1,500 youngsters ranked "God" as their tenth favourite thing in the world, with celebrity, "good looks" and being rich at one, two and three respectively...
God did come top again this year as the most famous "person" in the world, beating US President George Bush into second place.
Meanwhile "killing" and "wars" head the list of the "very worst things in the world", followed by drunks, bullies, illness, smoking, stealing, divorce and being fat. Dying is in tenth place...Asked what rules they would make if they were king or queen of the world, the number one response from the under-10s was to ban knives and guns.
They would also put a stop to fighting and killing, telling lies, drugs, bullying, drunks, and smoking...
Here is a sample of some of the survey's results: What do you think is the very best thing in the world?
1. Being a Celebrity 2. Good Looks 3. Being Rich 4. Being Healthy 5. Pop Music 6. Families 7. Friends 8. Nice Food 9. Watching Films 10. Heaven/God
My favorite parts of the survey? Good looks, pop music and watching movies are better than God. Being fat is worse than death.
At least they want to get rid of wars, killing, knives and guns. I have more respect for the 10 year olds in England than I do for the President. Maybe there's hope for us all after all.
