Hahaha...
I agree with you, Zyru. Just like in all things, there MUST be a happy medium. Strict totalitarian thinking is illogical- especially when discussing humans and human societies. There is always a mix of things because we are complex organisms.
Nature DOES affect an aspect of personal development, just as Nurture does.
My dismissive comment there was more along the lines of "don't want to get into that discussion here" rather than "I don't believe Nature plays a role." I tend to write a lot and try VERY hard to self-edit. That was... one such attempt.
But in rereading, I can see how my comment "THAT is what shapes who/what we are" was misleading... because, frankly... it is.
And yes, very informative.
