Nature vs Nurture Dustin thinks it's our nature. Assante thinks it's all nurture. Fran thinks it's a little of both. Welcome to The Friend Zone. Black Business Of The Week - http://www.kayluxcosmetics.com Body Highlighter - http://bit.ly/BodyHighlighter

This reminds me of my old neighbors arguing with one of their cousins. Apparently, the cousin didn't like how my neighbor and his boyfriend were defending each other after someone else's BS and they had me in the window, hollering. The part that got me was "at least I ain't smoking crack with a broken spoon" After that, I was on the ground.

Telling a person you care about to STFU is awful and abusive. You can't undo anything with verbal or physical violence. They are always going to have said what they said. It's a choice whether or not to stoop to that level.

Money does not buy you design sense, Fran! I earn more than I ever have but my house doesn't reflect that because I don't have the time or the design eye for it right now. I think a home is a reflection of one's values and what a person can or decides to put time into to.

OMG I feel the same way with my daughter having her own room. Her own bed. I never had my own room. I always slept on the sofa.

Or how when you go through a hard breakup and it feels so good to move all your furniture around, clean everything, throw his shit out

Dr. Joy Degruy talks about this in "Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome" about how many of these habits have long emotional ties in our culture like the whole "Leave a place cleaner than when you found it" because you never want to be seen as dirty, esp in public

Hey beautiful intelligent beings! For the nature vs nurture discussion, I have to say that it's always both. We live in a hierarchical society where we are posed with dichotomies and made to think that there can only be one answer that's "better" or "trumps" the other. We are always forced to choose and this keeps us fragmented and from seeing the whole picture. I believe that the answer is it's both nature and nurture. Nurture couldn't exist without nature and nature couldn't exist without nurture. As a person that believes that all things are connected and one, then this discussion too the answer involves both pieces of the puzzle to make the one whole picture. In every example that one could think that it's nature, another could find a reason that it's nurture and vice versa because they are intertwined together. It's like asking does racism or sexism impact women of non-caucasian descent more in this life. It's not either/or, it's both and how they are intersecting. Peace and love!
