Latitude13: A Serious Conversation on BlackBerry Messenger

J-Mo: Do you think man is inherently good?
Mike-o-tron: Hmm... I think there is an altruism gene in people.
J-Mo: I like to think people are inherently good and the bad ones are victims of environment and circumstance. Then I think of Hitler who was raised in a privileged and cultured environment and turned out evil and then I'm not so sure.
Mike-o-tron: You can't discount bad people who are that way because of mental disorders or other hereditary reasons.
J-Mo: Let me clarify: I think women are inherently good. It's men I'm not so sure about.
J-Mo:
Mike-o-tron: What-ev! Hahaha!
