Free will is directly inconsistent with an all-knowing all powerful God, and thus one of the major reasons for my atheist views. Know what you are going to do, and being incapable of being wrong, negates free will no matter how much one might try to argue otherwise.
From a science perspective, the philosophy of mechanism has been pretty much disproved by modern quantum theory, even if it's weird and I don't understand it all. So, with God and Mechanism out of the picture I am free to have free will.
It is really a very good and complex question though.

I love your potential. The potential of humanity. Any specific human, it's a bit harder to say. I certainly have much love in my heart, though not for myself. I have however found very few people trust worthy enough to try and share that love with.
So yes, I suppose I love you, as I love all people. Though you break my heart.

U mad 'bro?
The concept of free will always gets twisty when I think about it too much. I like to read other people's views on it, sometimes.. even though sometimes it makes it even twistier. (I am reading the Mechanism link, hambil, very interesting)
Hambil, do you have a favorite book of ALL TIME, that you read over and over? If so, which one?

I'm torn between the Harry Potter books, and yes, though Order of the Phoenix is my hands down favorite I can read them all over and over - and the The Secret of NIMH, which was read aloud to me (and the class) in fourth grade and forever changed my world and made me the science fiction and fantasy fan I am today.

That's not a question.
Because the universe doesn't know good from bad, so it creates both and the one that breeds the most is 'good', or 'better'. If we were all equal we would not evolve.
Why do things evolve? Because they're bored. 10 billions years is a long time.
In the broadest of terms laziness can be seen as the status quo, and greed as changing the status quo. Therefore, laziness will always be stronger than greed in the general population. However, greed only needs to appear in a very few to change the status quo, making all the lazy people greedy until they have achieved status quo again. So, it's a hard choice but I'd have to go with lazy - for it always wins out against greed in the long run. Far more people spend far more time being lazy than greedy, historically.
Pat - as scary as she may be, at least she's fictional.
I'd laugh. And I have no admin powers anymore.
