Hm, yes I meant legal marriage with a public wedding. Necessary I felt should be open to interpretation because the whole thing is very subjective. I'll try to be more specific in the future though! Sorry that was a year ago you posted that.

Haha. Yeah I guess that's one of the possible sexist scenarios. I'm a fan of the one where the guy quits his job to play wow and refuses to do any chores because it's "women's work".

I probably should have said "genetics/biology" instead of "human nature". I hate that term anyway!

Yup, that's the debate! I have my own opinions based on the seemingly limited research, but I'm still curious what people assume without having done any research. I'm partway into the article, it's really fascinating and I totally forgot to think about feral cases as evidence for the nurture argument.

From what I've read, nature gives us the basics as well as some predispositions, but our brain is malleable and it sounds like our experiences and how we use our brain ultimately shape us in the end.

Probably three actually. Although they do seem to go hand in hand - if someone thinks that people are "naturally" greedy, they also tend to think that we will always go to war. Perhaps I could rephrase it, something like, "do you think that 'human nature' accounts for negative characteristics such as greed, abuse of power and violence?" or something...

Definitely an oddly worded question. To be against the war on terror might imply to some that you're for terrorism, haha. Although many people I think will understand that to be against the war on terror has nothing to do with what you feel about terrorism.
