I think that people are a combination of both with the potential to be either good or bad. If you look at it, some of the most prominent people in the Bible were murderers, adulterers, etc. God was still able to use them for huge things (I mean, seriously, huge enough to be remembered thousands of years later, whether or not you believe), so I think people all have the potential for great good, but not many have the potential for great evil.

I think people are basically both with the potential to be either, depending upon their influences as they grow up and the choices they make. I'm too old and set in my ways to be influenced by much anymore. But it is a war that everybody will essentially fight most of their lives.

i believe its how you are raised. if you live in a quiet neighboorhood with loving friends and family then you are going to have a calm spirit. if you grew up in a rough neghboorhood with mean spirited friends and lost those that you loved along the way, you are going to keep the hurt and pain inside and show it through your actions in life. i belive you can change who you are and become a better person, but its having the will power.

I believe people are right in the middle for the most part. depending on the conditions and those involved, we tend to be bad or better.

No, because some people are bad - we call them sociopaths. How those people affect me? They make me sad because they are more good people than bad ones, but bad ones ruin everything for everybody.

I love to be around people period. I can deal with any type of people bad or good or neither. I just enjoy company.

More bad than good! It causes me to have trust issues 'cause I've been too nice all my life and I always get burned in the end : (
