Do you believe that the saying " you are a product of your enviroment " applies to some people ( non on here may i just add ) : )

[Buenchico]

I'm sure it applies to most people. It's getting on for 20 years since I was a secondary school teacher but I'm frequently told that it's obvious that I've been a teacher. (That's sometimes a compliment about the way I can quickly take command of asituation and organise things. Most of the time, however, it simply means I'm a right bossy so-and-so!).

Some people are who they are because of their environment,but,likewise,others become something different in reaction to their original environment.

Everybody is a product of their own ability to find a path in life. Don't see why Tonyted tried to make a nasty comment from a genuine question?

[Drisgirl]

I am merely responding to your Q.

I I believe that ulimately you are a product of your environment.

If you manage to see farther than your upbringing then you are a star and have guts.So get in there cos u will do better than most.

I hadnt said anything to you Drisgirl ;-)...Was referring to tonyted's post at the beginning of this thread,where "he" asked if the quote was "derogatory"? Don't understand that reaction to a genuine question?

[Buenchico]

Well, I read Tonyted's response as one of the most 'intellectually sound' replies I've ever seen on CB and certainly worthy of more than one star - but at least that's one more than my reply got ;-)

I'm confused reading this back? Are tonyted and drisgirl the same person? I hadnt been talking to drisgirl,but,she seems to be answering? Maybe I'm on too late lol

Do me a favour Chris, you are indeed one of the most retarded individuals ever to post on AB.

Grow up and get a life.

[Drisgirl]

Some people are some aren't, I grew up in a slum, but strived to get out. luckily I did, if I had stayed where I was I would have led a life of crime, this is not fiction this is fact, I was drifting that way and was on the verge of doing what I thought I needed to do, to escape the crap hole i lived in, luckily I met my wife and found another way, hard work, most of my friends stayed in the dump and ended up Dead, drunkards, or in prison, I was lucky.
