Description

Nature - How you were born
Nurture - How you were raised

Are our physical and mental selves like this because we were born like this, or because we were raised like this?

@DynamicSquid

I'd like to apologize for the forfeited rounds. My school blocks this site, and my job has no wifi at all. If we debate again in the future, I would be better able to participate if the debating period is 3 or more days.

>Reason for Mod Action:
Full Forfeitures, explicit concessions, competitions, truisms, and comedy (even if facetious) are not eligible for moderation (barring certain exceptions)
This is one of those exceptions... Generally this is enacted for simple mistakes (such as a concession or FF, but the voter mistakingly voted for the wrong side)

@DynamicSquid

"my opponents didn't respond to any of my arguments in my last speech."
"Round 1 - First argument
Round 2 - Second argument, and clash
Round 3 - Summarization, and clash"
My interpretation of this is that there is no direct response (clash) to the other's argument in the first round. It is only stating my own beliefs.
