I entered this forum with opinions apparently unpopular with some of the folks who reside in this dark place.

the original question. behavior comes from nurture or nature.
hence, heredity, and environment are key factors. grampa taught me how to start fires. some for warmth and some for vision and some for cleansing. see the light?

throwbacks in my net. no trophies, just chum. Should I be wearing boots or sandals. It depends if you want to preach or fish. Throw out your line, see what you reel in.
