Quote:Geez. I just had some things to do, that's all. I have a pretty sarcastic sense of humor. It isn't mean spirited, it's just in fun. It means I think you're cool. Please know that in order for you to offend me, you will have to try to offend me. I am kinda' sensitive, but I always make a big effort to give people the benefit of the doubt (that's my mantra).
So where were we? Something about touching a hot stove?
LOL well cool then. I am satisfied! Yeah, I happen to think your pretty cool too!
This is where we were at:
Quote:A hot burner will burn you if you touch it. (deterministic framework)
So you won't touch it. (free will)
It won't burn you if you don't touch it. (The two coexisting)
