[Debate] Does free will exist?

[Krauq]

Definition: The power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act at one's own discretion.

Did you make this thread of your own free will, or did destiny bring you to make such a decision ?

 

[Moss]

Of course it does. Why would you think otherwise?

 

[Edo GwemBaba]

We are as free as the society we live in wills it to be.

 

[Shalev]

Yes, Free Will, Whether You're willing to do or not.

This Guy Knows. ^^

Fate. Not destiny.

The government has control of everything we do.. There's no such thing as complete free will. Free will consists of thoughts, and inner desires. Even the sickest ones.

 

[Yusuke Urameshi]

Well, of course.

 

[King Of Crows]

*** was invented by bacteria and that bacteria changed into humans? Who believes that?

That is literally the most stupid thing I have ever read in my entire life :|

 

[OhitsAaron]

we do have free will to a certain extent

 

[Moss]

The government doesn't "control" me; it advises me and guides me. Not that I agree with everything it's done of course.

 

[The7thHokage]

Some people think religion takes free will away....my religion says the opposite, and as i believe in god, i believe free will does exist.

 

[hokutoshinken]

Of course it does, you're free to believe in what you want.

 

[Anorien16]

Aye.... u are free but everything is connected and every action has its consequences.

 

[HadouKage]

Yep but there's also consequences to counter balance abusive freewill
So not really

 

[King Of Crows]

Of course it does, you're free to believe in what you want.

After that bacteria statement you have lost all credibility :| I will now bestow upon you the shame you must endure. *Throws a pickle at you* There, I hope you've learnt your lesson :yayy:

 

[silmarill]

U mean if everything we do is predetermined?

 

[hokutoshinken]

After that bacteria statement you have lost all credibility :| I will now bestow upon you the shame you must endure. *Throws a pickle at you* There, I hope you've learnt your lesson :yayy:

Say what? it was on other topic, i just ask how bacteria turned into Bob and Barbara and asked who believed it?
The certain "credibility" you're looking for is a joke.

It is subtle control.
