We are in control of absolutely nothing.  There is no separation between our mind and some intangible entity.  The only choice you are going to make is the one you are going to make; free will is an illusion and the world is likely deterministic.  I suppose that's an incredibly brief summary of a 20-30 page response I have in my head somewhere.  :P

I agree with that.

I too agree with what Rule has said.

But there are some of us (Newby) that don't agree.  :P

Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

Newby believes in free will?  That sort of surprises me. :o

However, if you look at it... Antivirus made you post something that would prove that you were in control, so therefore he had control over you!

Newby made this forum so people like you post on it so he's in control of us all!!!!
