It kinda depends on what you mean by "bad". I don't think anyone is born with a hard-coded genetic reasoning for being a psycho killer who cooks brains and rapes dead bodies etc, but I do think there's a possibility that some people have a predisposition where being exposed to a certain type of upbringing, or random trauma(s) (trauma being anything that that person is shocked by; be it negatively or positively), they can develop certain obsessive traits in their personality which if not monitored, or psychologically treated early on in their development, could result in that person latching onto something bizarre, to the point that they don't care about anything except satisfying that craving, and may even become completely desensitised to any horrors that surround it.AngelBaby wrote:So a related question...thefelinepunk wrote:I just resent the idea that any dog is specifically BORN bad.
Do you believe that it's possible for a person to be "born bad?" And if so, do you resent that idea?
Yes, I realize this may get us waaaaay off-topic...
Though I could be completely wrong though, it's not like I've studied the subject extensively. Personally I think that upbringing plays the biggest part.
