[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Yes, I understand that many people DO believe that way. But it's crap, and it needs to stop. >Other areas such as Northern Ireland, the Middle East, Rwanda, Yugoslavia, and Cuba, have conflicts because people beleive that nations which in the past were responsible for crimes are still guilty of them. Yes, that's true.. and just LOOK at the status of those places! NONE of those areas are something to look up to! They're not even safe for their own citizens! Doesn't that SUGGEST to you that believing in that sort of idea leads only to continual hatred, and nearly impossible-to-stop bloodshed? >Your assumption is that we are all completly seperate individuals. I disagree, we are all shaped by the environment in which we live, and we all reflect it in our actions. When that environment, or society, is flawed the members are as well. True, we are all affected to some extent by society and our surroundings and even our upbringing. But those DO NOT DEFINE US. We, as intelligent, sentient beings with the capacity for choice, still can make those choices. Example: It's widely recognized that people who were abused as children tend to become abusive themselves. BUT, TEND is not ALWAYS. NOT ALL abused children MUST grow up to be abusers. They still make the CHOICE. (My gf can argue vehemently on this subject, as she WAS an abused child, and therefore knows more about what it is like than anyone.) CHOICE is more important than surroundings. CHOICE is more important than heritage. CHOICE is more important than upbringing. You are defined by your choices and your OWN actions. NO ONE else's.
