Re: [OT] Plato\'s Pub and Philosophical Society
I was just trying to start a philosophical debate, but I can see that has failed miserably. Maybe I should just stop looking at this thread altogether.

Ah, but how can you tell for sure? Or within a reasonable doubt?

That is the fastest I have seen you back off of a position.

Turn it around - How can you tell for sure (or wihin a reasonable doubt) that free will is an illusion? Until you can demonstrate your side, one hypothesis is as equally valid as the other. However, I made a point about quantum mechanics a while back which would support free will....

Failed how? There are people in this thread making logical arguments on exactly the topic in question.

Re: [OT] Plato\'s Pub and Philosophical Society
You mean I was able to turn Fyron around?!? 
Sorry to deter your philosophical debate Fyron, that wasn't my intentions, I just simply wanted to bring out that we do have free will. I will now leave and you can have your debate.
