Welcome to the wonderful world of human psychology.
Anyone?
Are people born bad or is it their upbringing/environment? I.e. Would you kill baby hitler or just give him a better upbringing. Also on topic if you want, how much do parents really influence their kids lives. You see so many people with different upbringings come out so many different ways, what choices as a parent really makes a difference.
Who said it is? Just the fact is people do bad things, so where does that come from...

Humanity has been trying to figure out the answer to this question for thousands of years. Something tells me that a bunch of bored DDFers aren't going to crack it in one Friday
We have plenty of Fridays.
Would you kill baby hitler
