Free Will, Pro's and Cons'

I do believe in Free will. It is what we are born with unto this world. I think Locke or some other philosopher has harped on this subject before. My turn in 2014. Let's give it a run.
I have an issue with telling people they are crazy. In general people do not like to hear that, even though it is the truth and they may be. We have all, at one time or another dated the crazy girl or had the crazy client. I wonder if people ever think I'm crazy? I doubt it, but one can not ever control another person's thoughts and opinions.
As a good, honest soul, I try to be morally balanced and sane. Personally I do not ever stray from my moderate morals. I am neither a church guy nor an evil doer. I actually embrace the law abiding method of living.
In a modern day example, the domestic Ray Rice scandal really bothers me. The fact that a man would physically punch, "knock out" and drag his wife along is worry-some to me and should be to you. 100 percent of humans, should never, never, never ever do that. I personally think Ray Rice should be in jail and is a horrible criminal. His wife should have divorced him the next day & I have zero tolerance for domestic violence.
Moving along. People, citizens and humans do have free will, and opinions. They can be wrong, right, politically incorrect, financially unjustified and more. As an independent, impartial 3rd party person, I just try to help people "see the light", but I can only do some much. Sometimes I wonder & worry about other people? I wonder if they ever worry about me?
Also, people can be selfish bastards. It happens. You think you know someone well, but in the end, they are always in it for themselves and their own well being. Perhaps, this example ought to remind us of "Darwin's theory" of survival of the fittest. I think Darwin was right..
FYI, I'm writing this after 2 shots of rum and 2 beers. It's cold outside right now, but it feels warmer in here.
What are your opinions on free will? I guess whether you are right, wrong, crazy, normal or close, your entitled to it, and we can choose to listen to it or not? Good Luck out there.

Crazy people don't know that they're crazy BUT... psycho people know that they're psycho. Food for for thought, coming from a psycho.

Rice's wife is ok with the way she was treated. She even said that, "abuse was part of God's plan". Some people need abuse to feel loved. To each is own. I personally like rough sex but wouldn't put up with him being rough with me outside of the bedroom. Free will lets you put up with what you will.

What does being Open Mindful mean to you???

Image
Liberal and Open Minded to me almost seem to be pseudonyms. I would guess it could be possible to be conservative and open minded, just in my eyes those two ideals seem to be juxtaposed. What in my upbringing and brain, elicits this open minded worldly outlook, and positive, friendly mindset??? It could have either been my parental affluent hippie 60's upbringing or perhaps my University Liberal Arts Education, or yet again my 5 full years of daily life in Manhattan and the mecca that is New York City. What does being Liberal and Open Minded mean to you?? Personally I think of it as being accepting of many different lifestyle choices and varieties. For example, I am pro choice and pro abortion for women before the 2nd trimester. I am pro gay marriage, for both male and female sexes. Being a Free Speech & Born here American, I also believe in the freedom of style, culture, home location, choices in dating, restaurants, music, culture, movies, music and all. Anythi

People and their PETS.

Image
In the style of Jerry Seinfeld, " What's the deal with people and their pets? Dogs especially. What is the mass human attraction to dogs as pets? What in the minds and soul attracts humans to caring for, paying, walking and being an owner for these animals? Please help me understand . I mean, in my humble opinion, the negatives for dogs are, they can't talk with humans. A dog will never be able to speak and converse with their owner. Also they must constantly be cared for, bathed, walked, fed, leashed, cleaned up after and more. What joy do these dogs and animals bring? In addition dogs cause destruction to real estate, & are tough to constantly care for. They also smell and are not universally loved or accepted by guests. Am I not being OPEN MINDFUL to dogs and pets? If so please share their positives for me. I am not perfect, and can recognize mistakes and being wrong. Some perhaps better alternatives to dogs, are, ready, friends, girlfriends, significant o

How are we ENTERTAINED?

Image
DO you like to be entertained? IF your human, most people do and enjoy laughter, muses, lights and more. Just like the Kings and Jesters of yesteryear, in the modern age, we love ENTERTAINMENT too! Are you OPEN MINDFUL to different forms on entertainment? Which are your favorites? For example, off of the top of my head, I can think of books, live music, movies, television, broadway shows, bars & nightclubs, restaurants, stores, shopping malls, stand up comics, vacations, social media, friends, and the such. Am I leaving your favorite form out? Personally, I am open minded to various forms of entertainment. I love tv, live music, and nightlife. Yet, as the entertainment field changes and morphs, could be up for anything fresh? What are your favorite forms? Do you abstain from entertainment? Could this even be possible? In so as fas as an industry, would ENTERTAINMENT be fun to work in? Recently a fellow local Austinite, mentioned, I should try out ACTING for a year. It wa
