Topic?
Human nature, in its simplest form, is good. (Good being: consistently promotes proliferation and relative joy in others) and that bad actions can be regarded as genetic flaws...
OR
Some humans are born good, and others are just fundamentally bad.
I couldn't argue for either very passionately, as I'm still torn. I'd love to hear some sides, though.

Alright folks, I had a feeling this crowd is to undisciplined to make this work. Out of some 50 posts, over 30 are off topic and there's no debating taking place.
I'm going to lock this, start a new one and limit it to a SINGLE topic which I'll pick because you all need structure. This thread makes it painfully obvious that many of you can't be counted on to follow the rules on your own.
The first two people to post on topic (read: participating in the debate) will be the only two allowed to post until the debate is over. I'll start a parallel thread for general discussion and comments about the debate.
Hopefully this rigid structure will work better.

Hard to believe, right? Read it for yourself:
