what do you think - are people intrinsically good, or bad? one, neither, both? lets not fight over the terms “good” and “evil” – I dont want a religious or moralistic debate, but something more along the lines of what you personally think the average person is about

what motivates people more - childhood teachings or lifes experiences?

is the former statement linked to how strongly the latter circumstances will affect you? (such as: if you are inherently bad, you may be more likely to buy into racial stereotypes you are fed as a child…..etc – not necessarily my opinion just an example)

I'm good, but have very low morals.

I think I care for people and I stand for things that I believe are right and wrong, but I will lie and cheat to get my own way if I believe in what I am fighting for.

People are both, one side of a person could not exist with out the other.
On the whole i'm a good guy but i have done very bad things, I for one could not say i was one or the other.
I have made people laugh, and cry.
I have given, and stolen.
I am good, and bad.
However through these actions i have learnt that these things are good or bad, it depended on how i ,as a person, enterprited my own and other peoples actions.

Bit long winded but thats what i reckon.
