Talk:Bending Arts/@comment-67.250.93.99-20110708053833

I'm sure the topic has been brought up before, but I want to know others opinion on my question. What is the difference between a bender and a common person? Is the art of bending learned or are you chosen? Is this ability hereditary or can it be transferred? Does the area in which you live affect what type of bending ability you will receive? Have the creators ever discussed this topic at comic-con or anything? I find it fascinating that not everyone in the world of avatar is a bender and I am really curious as to find out why.
