Probably true. From my argument it is clear that at least I am not capable of solving such issues, my basic argument being that the concept is...
I don't see what this thought experiment has to do with free will. The free will debate is most certainly not about whether a person feels that...
I like drugs for the same basic reasons that I like anything: another facet of existence to explore. Although I really wouldn't say that I like...
Agreed, completely. Agreed as well. This is why I am so fond of the word autonomous. Free will is a meaningless concept, but being 'self ruled' is...
Perhaps, perhaps not, perhaps partially. According to my current view on free will it would make no difference. Whether my current attitude is/was...

I'm from Niagara Falls and while the original Duff's at the corner of Niagara Falls Blvd and Sheridan is very good, they opened a second one in...

Very true, and very hard to explain, in my experience, to people who have not arrived at the conclusion on their own. A humorous way I like to put...
I disagree. You and I are clearly using our words very differently and it would seem that our views are worlds apart. I can see no way to bridge...
Agreed. That's why I ignored that part.
It has inherent meaning to the being that forms the opinion, and it has meaning to the other beings that being interacts with. Meaning is derived...
I don't think that there is a connection between relevance and freewill.
I agree with this part. The rest sounds like poetry to me.

As themnax pointed out inalienable rights really are wishful thinking. To use that phrase is to do nothing more than state strongly that you...
