what do you think controls the way a person develops?
are people born athletic, or evil, or whatnot and theyll be that way however theyre raised or will can the personality of a person be changed by how there reared, like with gay people? this is a fairly common debate, so you should be able to have some idea what im on about, i hope |

yes, you can suppress a genius by nurture.
but can you make a genius by nurture? put a genius and a regular in the exact same circumstances. and you will only get one genius. |

John B Watson said he can raise doctors, lawyers... etc, given the correct environment. But how can a muscial genuis play an instrument if he never touched one his whole life? QUOTE indeed. a leopard acnt changes his spots... and a zebra cant change them for him A leopard can be a good hunter as he is a born predator, but rear him in a zoo and domesticate him and we'll see how well he hunts in the wild. QUOTE well that was random. and very un-fae. what's your actual name, btw, cause i know it's not really fae cause you said so once.. My name is..... a secret.... hahah, okay, maybe not. My friends call me Chris/Christy, Mintifer, Mini... etc. Pick one. |
