I believe people have certain traits they are born with. I also believe that the first years of life mold a person's character.

My dad died when I was 5 and now that I am grown people always comment on how similar our personailties and mannerisms are.

I believe people are predisposed to certain things, good and bad. I do not think it should be used as the crutch like it has been. People who were beaten as a child or have fathers/ mothers who were bad and try to use thier past and their genes as an excuse get ZERO sympathy from me. AFAIAC it is an excuse and an attempt to shirk responsiblity (something that America and the liberal world is rife with...shirking responsibility)
