[QUOTE]Originally posted by Simon: [QB] Well I'm back: First: I must for once agree with you, choice is always more important than heritage, upbringing, and surroundings. But it is those things that force people to make choices. I have never been tempted to bring a gun to school and kill my classmates, and if I were to be tempted I am fairly sure I could resist it. I can not be blammed for being tempted to do something, I can only be be blammed if I chose to act on that temptation. What creates temptation are the factors you list as well as some others, such as genetics. The people who are responsible for these surrondings are partially responsible for creating the crime. But never to the extent of the actual perpetrator. Let's take your child abuse analogy for example. The abuser is responsible and should be punished. But the temptation to abuse his child would not be there if his father hadn't abused him. The father is thus responsible for the abuse of his grandchild, despite not having actually done it himself.
