When we are little one of the first words we learn and totally use and understand is "MINE!" we are greedy and unwilling to share when we are young. Now, we dont have our parents constantly saying "yeah, its okay to not share. Dont let them have that toy that's yours!" Now, where do we learn to be so posessive and self centered? we dont, it comes natural. This my friends, is proof of the fall.

Actually, it's proof of survival instincts. Infants and young children are selfish because that is how they survive. If they weren't selfish, they would die. Blessed be.

What you are referring to is basic human nature from being a species that has survived through harsh environments through our relatively short time on Earth as a species and some of it could even possibly come from before the human race evolved. It is to ensure you always get enough to survive and are never left out. This is nothing to do with any religious argument it is simply a survival instinct evolved from our history as a species. Say no to jesus.

To be truly self-ish is to understand and act towards ones personal self interest, this includes doing what is reasoned to be best for ones own life.
People who act like children are really not self-ish, they are self-less. They are making enemies with those that care, and think they are mini-gods in which the center of the world revolves around. Not very self-ish. Stupid and child like is right.

Incorrect. As you said the word "mine" is learned and thus is not proof of the fall. Plus I don't believe that your proof works very well for twins.

When primates do the same thing is that proof that they had a mini-fall? Or maybe a simi-fall?

I think that what you are relating is proof of nothing more than the ineptitude of your family with respect to child-rearing.

My first word was "flower."
You are making assumptions about things for which you have no evidence.
