I can recall finding a Playboy stashed under some shrubs when I was 9. When I looked at it, I knew it was wrong even though I had no idea what pornography was or why it was wrong to look at it.

"Knowing" something is wrong after 9 years of aculturation by parents and society, regardless of your ability to define it in technical jargon and write essays on it, is a far far far cry from being born with such knowledge.

Ah, nature versus nurture. Before we continue this debate, will you tell me if you believe in the existence of the soul?
