Do believe that people are inherently good or bad?
Steel said:No, I do not. Neither is there such a thing as a truly good or truly bad person.
It all comes down to choices, which we all make on a daily basis. Its the free will that can turn us from saint into sinner and indeed back again if we so choose.
Porman said:I do. Some people are just born nasty. My cousin is a drug addict theiving arsehole. He was raised in a loving family, none of his surroundings would have had a negative effect on his personality, so therefor I believe some people are just born bad people.

I disagree. A good person is someone with morals and values, where as a bad person doesn't.
Also, free will is an illusion. Our brain is made up of particles with set velocities and pre determined outcomes, Your brain tells you how to think, what to think, how to act. not you.

By saying this you are also saying that morals are subjective.
If Morals are subjective and done by consensus, then there is no true good or bad, just what people have agreed upon.
Scary path to follow.

I was more making the point that morals and values themselves do not make someone a good person. In fact, throughout history, all kinds of atrocities have been committed by those who believed that they were doing the right thing.
