Parents have some to do with it.....but not nearly as much as we would like to believe.
This is the dumbest thing I've read on the forum in days.
You would be wrong.... Conrad is correct.... it's that free will thing God gave us
I think you missed the point. We all have free will and these folks are responsible for the decisions they make. But the probability of a person making a stupid decision depends significantly on their upbringing.
I have seen enough very good parents have a good kid and a bad kid... raised in the same house, same rules... I always feel bad for the good parents with a bad kid. That being said bad parents stand a damn good chance of having all bad kids, a kid that rises above a bad household is rare indeed
Understand. That's why I used the term probability. The odds are still significantly better with a good upbringing, even though there can be outliers.
