I have already answered it. No. Niet. Nein. Non. Iie. Nee. Laa. Bu Shi.
I think I got all the major languages covered.
Your example does not diminish my freedom because it is an erroneous presumption.
I can only be less free in regard to my property. PERIOD.[/quote]
Um several of my questions are routine happenings. Even the ones that aren’t are entirely possible, just not likely. It is not an erroneous presumption. Your dodge isn’t an answer.

There is no such thing as freedom. It is an illusion. We do not choose what we think or do because such things are decided by our environment and genetics which we cannot control. We don’t choose where we are born, who we are born to, to be born, how our brains are inherently wired, our basic appearance, our basic physical aptitudes and so on. We are like computers. We do not choose the data inputted into us or how we use it. There is no such thing as free will. We do what we are programmed to do. We make choices based on the options available to us and we do not choose what those options are. The “choices” we make are based on an initial set of factors we cannot control. If those factors were different our choices would be different.[/quote]
