I hate getting the hiccups

I believe that grammatically they are not used interchangably; although I could be wrong, I highly doubt that is the case. I've never heard of "willpowering" something into happening. Willpower is basically determination where as will is a way of.....causing something to happen by thinking about it.

 

My thinking is that an act of will is a single deed and willpower sustains a course of action necessary to reach a goal- like giving up cigarettes or losing weight.

 

Sounds good to me.

 

willpower-noun
Definition - Determination

will - verb
Definition - Cause

To "will" something is to cause something, just as I said. To have willpower is to be determined in your efforts.


Edit: http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=will There is a reference if you'd like to verify what I have said. Man I forgot how smart I am . Then again I guess that's all relative to who I'm compared to isn't it?

 

Who's slow? Your statement does not in anyway match the definitions. My original argument was dead on and you attempted to argue the point...... *Does victory dance*

Edit: In the sense you used "will" your above statement doesn't even make a shred of sense.

 

You said you willed away your hicups. You caused yourself to never have hicups again. That has nothing to do with willpower or the definition of will that you are currently using. You are most definately not the victor.

 

I am done with this debate if you feel you have to resort to calling names. It is immature and unneeded. Have a great weekend man.

 

i rarely get the hiccups and when i do its usually just one big hiccup

 

i know its a trip

 

Reported several times by numerous people? I have done nothing to violate the forum policies. I made a statement that involved nobody nor was degrading to any specific entity. I failed to understand your thinking and questioned it simply enough. I argued the validity of your point because to me it made no sense; frankly the verbage seemed off and I asked of you nothing more than clarification. I in no way, whatsoever, attempted to personally degrade you. If you took it that way, then that is on you.

You on the other hand have called me not only an idiot, but pathetic as well; that I do not appreciate. You make awfully bold statements about my life and my personality knowing nothing of me, generally speaking. You seem to be very angry that I have questioned your choice of words and you have resulted to being beligerant. You my friend should calm down, breath in Jesus, and exhale tension. I hope you one day find serenity son. I'll pray for you.
