I've always been curious about how other's feel about this topic. Personally, I believe we are all born good and that we become bad with what we've learned and grew up with. What do you think?

I think we are born with the capability for good and bad, but it is perhaps our environment and upbringing that makes us choose good things or bad things.

You have a lot of questions today I believe people can be born bad. By that I mean without regard for what most of us know innately as empathy or concern for others. I also believe that environment is significant also.

I think people are born bad and left to their own devices would be dangerous, but happily we have religion, society, rules, laws, taxes, repercussions, sanctions, police, prisons and gallows and these help the budding bad-hats toe the line (mostly).

Except for the people that do bad things despite all those legal, societal, and cultural safeguards.
