  • i disagree with you. but instead of comming up with a good rebuttle with some points in favor of nuture over nature i'm just going to call you a hippy! or maybe you went to art school or something but i dunno you're weird.

    ahh whatever i'll spare one point. take a lion for example. it is in the lion's nature to hunt and kill. it makes the lions' personallity very agressive yet it does not attack any humans.

    it doesn't need to. the humans feed it, and it is not in a lions' nature to be fed yet it still directly effects the personallity of the lion. no longer in need of hunting and killing the lion abandons his nature and thus nurture has conquored nature.

      • then why don't you read my comment directly underneath us? (refering to feral children.)

        Besides, if a primal lion can over come nature then our highly developed consious minds can't?
