Which doesn't exonerate them from conscious misbehaviors. Most can apply an environmentally dervied moral filter to their decision making to discern whether a given action is "right" or "wrong" within the context of their societal standards.

Anyone who has children can attest to personality traits, independent humor, etc at age 1 or younger. Nurture plays a role, nature plays a much greater role.





Agreed. My four year old is a dense count with no appreciation for irony at all.

They can't if their DNA doesn't allow it.

I believe that morality is hard wired in us as well. But, like everything else, some more than others. It is further hard wired and entrenched through nurturing at a young age.

Civil society requires us to have consequences for wrong actions.

Your 2 year old doesn't know that the world shouldn't revolve around him/her, yet you discipline anyway.

It really doesn't matter whether it is misbehaving or just "behaving." Consequence is the biggest conscious deterrent to taking any action.

Sooooo....the conclusion is that DNA isn't responsible for our behavior unless it is?

My conclusion about your conclusion is that you don't have a good understanding of this topic, even though some (Cs, Mohican) have provided pretty good explanations.

My DNA, along with experiences, contributed to my dislike of strawman arguments. I choose to point them out.

You aren't responsible for the comment, you're simply a DNA driven machine.

I don't think even hard determinism would take take this specific stance.

Children are born asexual. No baby has ever been gay or straight or no or anything.

For real.

Genetic diseases are a myth created by the Obama administration

Dna doesn't have any effect on whats right or wrong or being gay or straight

There are genetic diseases that can cause a certain behavior or personality trait.

Even ones that make people fat.

100 years from now people will be looking back at us as primitive zealot fricks for arriving at conclusions as to how macro concepts like behavior are effected by chemicals when we don't yet understand the micro behavior of the chemicals.
