This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Interesting idea... Is human morality (in situations where no punishment exists) a result of the societies we live in and our societal expectations, our upbringing, or is there some inherent morality (guilt from doing something bad, or satisfaction from doing the right thing) within most people?
Whilst I do live somewhere that has trolleys with coins, sometimes you get one that is damaged and doesn't require a coin. Yet I still return those ones, because why wouldn't I? It only takes a minute.
Yes.
But what if nature and nurture were casting a shadow on the wall of a cavernous trolley station??
Well, in that case, wait for the trolley to come, and if they haven't returned the cart by then you can push them in front.
Does the trolley run Linux?
It runs on hannah montana, the best kind of linux.
In that case it should be fine. Just eat the rich, fuck cars, and let the trolley run its course.
Well yeah, but also a bit more than that - even after growing up, does society itself have some impact? Even if someone was raised really well, I feel like they could change over time depending on what society tells them is appropriate.
Typically "nurture" includes those things. You're right though - it isn't just our parents and childhood, it's everybody through our whole lives. We only stop changing when we die.
