I think you answered it well, Slim.

This is very difficult issue to answer either way. I suppose I drift back and forth b/w whether or not a place one is raised on has an impact on their upbringing. Foe example, I know such girls that have gone astray both back home and in the USA. On the opposing sides, i have met the most nicest people from both as well. Yes the environment does have a limitation on one to be influenced. But more so I think it has to do with the people we choose to be around. The easist form of influence is who we choose to let in our lives as close friends.

Sophisty...I am not sure if I answered correctly. I would like to go in further detail. just inform me if I understood your question.
