I'm not saying that some people are not the product of their environment, but it's not always the case is my point.
the question was asked with only two possible choices, nature and nurture, My point was just to add another choice to the mix that was overlooked.
Choice plays a part even in the other 2, a person chooses to rob, or not, a person chooses to sell drugs or not and they can also choose to stop the cycle.
kids that are born with disabilities because of poor choices by their parents get a walk.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

but the 'choice' doesn't happen until the 'nurture' part has ended-
Children don't get to make the choices, so at that point it's nurture Vs. Nature.
Adults do get to make choices, so that
is Choice Vs. Nature.
There can only be 2 options at any given point in the question.

If you say so, but I know in my own life I made choises at 8 or 9 years old that were critical in my life.

Disagree.
One can accept or reject (ignore) the nurturing, before or during the event.

I don't believe any baby is born with an evil glint in its eye.
Your upbringing and environment play key roles.
