It's Ok!!, Marc you are allowed to be arrogant, you are French, no !!!
Actually we are a product of our envionment and yes we do have choices
I'm from one of those middle class families raised by my mother after my father passed away when I was only 8 years old. I like my two brothers where taught right from wrong and if we didn't my mother made sure the stings from the belting would instill what was in our long term memories.
We made choices not to mix with the wrong crowd get into fights study etc,and have all ended up being middle class family men who have raised children with similar values yet we have seen the rights of others, police, teachers and parents degraded as we strive to bolster the rights of our children.
some people can find it difficult to make the distinction between what is right and what is wrong like a badly mistreated dog who will attack without thought, yet only through relocation and re-education may that dog change it's way's
