In the whole nature vs nurture debate, I believe that its a combination of the two that makes a person who they are. But there comes a time when you have to stop blaming your environment and take some responsibility for your own actions. |
people are giving you thumbs up but remember this is not something he started doing when he turned pro.. he has been doing it and was exposed to it at an early age.. just like kids with violent video games.. you can become numb to whats really going on, and there are studies to back that up... we need to take steps to stop this behavior early so that these young men who are in this can have a better perception why its wrong. Take a step back and please look at the evolution of this.. as we can see from all of this discussion it must me easy to point finger at al adult and and gripe about horrible of a crime it is, than take the time to educate the little ones in your neighborhood before they get caught up in such horrible activities...
