hehe. Mine was similiar. "Be like a wombat son. What does a wombat do? He eats roots, shoots and leaves."

In an interview a few years ago he said his top bench was 500 and his top dead was 710. So he didn't progress his deadlift after his early 20's.

I wholeheartedly agree. It's amazing how good they work.

Done. He's winning with 53% of just over 50000 votes

Apparently we are already going to hit our targets anyway so signing it won't do anything to us.

Assume the only difference is that one believes in god the other doesn't. Assume the atheist lives his life like a christian because he likes the philosophy of it.

Same deal for a black vs white...

Imagine two guys were running for the presidency and they were identical in all aspects of their life except that one was Christian and one was atheist. Who would be voted in?

That's why atheists...

It's illogical to believe what you believe and you're providing no more evidence that repeating your baseless assertion that we have free will. You offer no argument other than "we have it".

haha. Free Will causes choice huh? So free will has rules right? If it didn't then you could choose to not breath right now. Or you could choose to stick a knife in your brain. Or you could choose to...

You keep saying stuff like, "And the ability to choose between multiple alternatives is freely up to you as your heart so desires. Free will." as if that actually means anything. But where is the...

Oh OK. So what do you think causes choices? If not the combination of genetics and environment?

Man's conscience? What is that other than the chemical reactions in the brain? We have drugs that can make you insanely happy, insanely sad, guilty, fearful, psychotic etc.

It has been proven...

I think the opposite. I don't know how any sane person can argue for free will. If your decisions aren't caused then what causes them?!? haha

Yeah, quantum mechanics is an area some have highlighted. But then, consider the consequences. Any choice that isn't based on some type of causation will lead to an utterly nonsensical result. Like...

Yeah, and this is Dennett position. I agree with what you're saying.

However, it doesn't change one small thing. We still don't have free will ;)

I don't like compatiblism. It's a losers view of free will I think. It basically says that our choices are caused but they are still free. That's a copout.

OK, back up a second. I've no idea what you and Guard Pass are even arguing anymore.

And of course my response was dumbed down. Ira said he'd never considered much before. I'm not exactly going...

And what do you base that choice on?

Care to elaborate?

It's still a big debate but the winning side seems to be the "no free will" side.

To help you grasp it, think of it this way. If your choice of breakfast food this morning (or lack of it) was a...
