here are your lyrics Infinity: see if you can the dig the glaring philosoph8y

I'm singing in the rain,

Just singing in the rain;
What a glorious feeling,
I'm happy again!
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above.
The sun's in my heart,
And I'm ready for love.

Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place;
Come on with the rain,
I have a smile on my face.
I walk down the lane
With a hap-hap-happy refrain,
Singing, just singing in the rain...

Go and do it now, then tell me how you feel afterwards!

Have- been- challenged- to- prove!
Must- comply! M-U-S-T! C-O-M-P-L-Y !!!

"...just singing iiiiin the raaaaaiiiin"

(snaps out of Sweep's overpowering voodoo trance)

...three hours later...


MAN! That was NOT cool! Do you have any idea how long it took untill one of my neighbors let me back in the apartment?

Back to the discussion:
Beforementioned conditioning would be one of the limitations our otherwise free will is subject to, but the freedom within those limitations is nonetheless there.

Everything is subject to limitations. If you're going to say free will doesn't exist because it begins and ends somewhere, you may as well assert nothing exists.

C'mon gentlepeople... what kind of free will would we otherwise be talking about? Our thoughts and subsequent behaviour infinitely across the place ??

What's free will?

Uh, oh. I shouldn’t have asked that.

maybe this time you were cursing in the rain (and cold, you heartless neighbours) but when you get your special visit the story will be a little different.

I know how you look, btw, which made your comic strip that little more hilarious, not that your bouncing boogly eyes, and rubbery face, offset your handsomeness in any way.

If you ever do decide to do a stunt similar to what I suggested, be sure to get someone to tape it. Now there's a job for you. Maybe you could even get a 'licence to fool'
