gumby	Re: Is Mankind Born Evil....or Good?
	Well I must say Fark........this was a deep one and a hard one to comment on.......so I'm gonna guess and I try not to guess out of where I defacate You mentioned enviroment might determine this. I believe this is the biggest factor personally.I think genetic disposition has it's effects upon the individual only after he has been affected first by the enviroment. When I watched the Truman Show with Jim Carrey......it taught me something. A  person knows only what he sees and is taught by those he encounters. When a baby is born and sees it's smiling mother or others,  showing it nothing but love.......it learns from actions showed toward it. If it saw only mean faces and bitter expressions and voices......and only saw that for the rest of it's life......it no doubt would act that way because it is all it knew or learned. Now, let say the latter baby was subjected to bad treatment for two years and the next two years he is treated with love. Would he be a good kid or a bad one? I think it is at that point it would be dependant on individual perception of which way is best for him and he can survive the best. I guess then my take on it is a person is a blank tape.......untill it recieves information through life.  Whether it is a good kid or a bad one can differ between two individuals, based on recieved input,  even if those inputs are the same. Now then ....I'm sure if I read what I just wrote,  I will be confused as hell....and so I'm not going to read it. Gumby
