I know you don't want to hear both, but it's hard not to see both sides of the argument on this one. Studies have shown that twins raised apart, and twins raised together with both have different IQ'd and personalities regardless of whether or not they are raised in the same home. I guess this would pertain to the nature side, but I also can't believe that what environment you are in doesn't directly affect you. It's really true that you will have a higher IQ and be a more intelligent person if you were raised in a cuddly home as opposed to a neglected home. So that's the nurture side. I just don't know.

By "nature" may I assume you mean something like "genetic"?
And by "nurture" you mean the way we raise our kids?
I have 2 boys, aged 11 and 8. Same mother, same father, same house ... completely different characters.
There are family resemblances, so there is definitely some genetic factor at work here.
But despite having the same parents and the same environ-ment, they have completely different temperaments:
one is a serious student, the other is a sportsman; one is fairly introverted, the other a complete extrovert.
Where does that come from? Is that genetic, too?

all children will learn to speak a language. it is their nature to do so. even if a child have no contact with language (by being born deaf for example) s/he will invent one (most sign languages are born this way).
under most circumstances the language a child speaks will depend entirely on the parents' language. a child who grows up in new orleans speaks english, one who grows up in horazdevice speaks czech.
it is nature which leads the child to speak a language, nurture which elects which one.
under most circumstances - as in this case - there is no distinction between nature and nurture since they both contribute equally but in distinct ways to the final outcome.

If you nurture the nature, it can be more useful to the environment. Nature is what is born with it and nurture is what you can try. It is like flowers in the bush and flowers in your garden. You try but they will do their best with what is inborn.

Why should it be one or the other and not both?

It depends on our perceptions.
