- patio11 18y agoI have no dog in the nature versus nurture fight, but isn't it amusing that the examples of "deprivation" given are things which socially appeal to the investigator? "Get your kid to the museum or they'll end up brain damaged!" On the basis of the available evidence couldn't it just as easily be "Park your kid at home in front of a Playstation and then make sure they're picked on at school for being geeks or they'll be brain damaged!"
