BE NICE!!

To be nice.. inate or trained/forced? that is the question

I'm sitting in my beach-front apartment (in front of the Imperial Beach Pier) with the windows and doors open (minding my own bidness). And I hear someone yelling out in the street "BE NICE"!!. 

Well, it got me thinkin (I like to think about stuff). Can you make someone be NICE?? by telling them to be nice? Isn't being "nice" something that cant be trained.. either you have it "in you" or you don't?? 

Of course you can FORCE someone to be "nice".. but wouldn't that be controling an action, vs. effecting innate behavior/feelings?

I always say.. you can control your actions, but you cant control your feelings.
