So, what factors would make you choose one over the other? Those factors act upon your will so that' it's never completely free.

Even God wouldn’t have free will, He can’t do evil. A world with free will would be chaos.

A lot of disagreement is semantical

It is semantical. I'd need to know your definition of free will to discuss that, though.

Well, no fricking shite - no one can see lights that aren’t on - that’s why you are supposed to turn on your lights in the rain

I've said this before here and I'll say it again. I worked at jail where I had to strip out a lot of inmates coming in and see their junk. The black dudes 90% of the time were huge compared to the white inmates. Us officers would even joke about it with how ridiculously bigger they were. "How many black 12 inchers did you see today"? Haha

Going to church as a kid made me a better person. That's why I like to take my kids when I can.

The latest scientific study which I cannot remember the name of so I probably shouldn't quote, but I am anyway, showed blacks and whites on averaged the same. However, when it came to very large sized, the black population had a far higher percentage of those. So you can deduce that in order to balance out the average being the same, the black population has a higher percentage of smaller ones also.

I’m no physicist and I don’t need one to explain this to me. Time is the same “time” at the exact moment whether it be right now on Mars, Saturn, or some planet in another galaxy. What gravity has to play in it makes no sense to me. (Again don’t explain it to me).

And if I was on a train in the dark going the speed of light, and I turned a flashlight on, then according to the smart people, the light would fall out of the flashlight and drip on the floor instead of shine the wall.
No doubt that light will shine on the wall and thus have that light going twice the speed of light.

So I suggest that the speed of time is constant and the speed of light varies.

Again I’m no scientists I don’t care how wrong I am. Last I heard Einstein’s relativity is still a “theory”. So mine is too (technically a hypothesis and probably a very stupid one but no more stupid than whether hair should be washed, flashers should be on, or those thinking we did not land on the moon).

Even the ChiComs have admitted to overcounting by over 100M last year. Keep in mind these are stats they regularly fabricate. Their educational and infrastructure funding is tied to things like the numbers of incoming kindergartners, giving provincial officials high motivation for corruption-- report 1400 kids, when there are 400, and pocket the 1000 students worth of funding from a central authority that doesn't exactly audit things thoroughly.

Watch groups monitor things like the purchase of legally mandated infant vaccines-- things that if you don't get your kid, you go to prison-- they estimate a much lower Chinese population than 1.4B. And it is a rapidly aging population-- the Chinese didn't run low on Child bearers in 2015-- they ran out of them in 1999. As that cadre shrinks, the population shrinks, and even the repeal of the 1 Child Policy in most areas, largely hasn't been met with a recovery of infant birth rates. They're in the process of emptying out the countryside of young people presently. In another 10 years, they'll make the Koreans look youthful.

Agree, I gave you an upvote, number 3. I'm surprised that 5 diverse individuals made it to page 6 to give you down votes.

Spanking…


Those aren’t spankings you mentioned in regard to blacks and Hispanics….those are beatings.

Disciplinary spankings are meant to hurt the child’s feelings more so than their backside.

A healthy dose of fear when submitted properly is good for children. I was fortunate as a child. I was spanked the correct way, as were my children.

People that say you shouldn’t use your hazards if your wipers can’t keep up. You are partially right. It has been noted that it is illegal, which is not true in a significant number of states (Texas is one)


Driving back to Houston from Galveston, we got SLAMMED with a huge thunderstorm storm, extremely low visibility; Every single vehicle had their hazards on, it was the only way any of us could see the other cars. It was amazing , granted no one was changing lanes, we were all just trying to gtfo safety.

I don’t remember there being a shoulder on this stretch of highway. Never seen anything like it since. Everyone was unified driving the exact same speed.
