Choices to tie together a rambling, make it up as you go jumble of story bits:
1. God did it.
2. It was all a dream.
3. To be continued... in a new series!
Unless your Doctor Who then you can always say "I'll explain later" and ignore the subject indefinately.
Now, regarding "free will" and electrons. A prerequisite for free will is sentience. If you are unaware of self, you cannot make a decision. If you cannot make a decision, free will is impossible.
Now you've done it!
Now we're going to start an argument over wiether or not sentience is real or just an illusion.
Seriously. Why do actors and actresses who pretend to be politicans and soldiers for tv and movies get more influence over "real world" politics like the UN than I do?
Um, because Slashdot wouldn't have a story on its front page if you were to visit the UN?
Oh I guarantee I would make the news if I visted the UN....which is why they won't invite me.
At 15:43 terror suspect Lishmaki Alibababran tweeted "Whazup man?" to Obama Balali who proceeded to set his status to "Obama is watching 'UK today'. We believe this is part of a terrorist plot to stay informed about domestic and world news. Furthermore we may be able to use TV licensing laws against Obama as we have no record of him owning a TV license. This is further proof that piracy aids terrorism. In other news Beth Smith sent a private facebook message to Sally Tallman about Bill Wade that said: "He's soooooo hot". Sally was not impressed and replied "Stay away biatch, he's mine". Our operatives believe this may lead to violence and much bitchslapping at the Trinity school for girls on Monday morning and recommends that we send in a team of operatives.
Sally is a lieing tramp.
Beth would never cheat on me.
gosh I don't know, maybe NASA's slightly more interested in getting plain facts out instead of hyping every latest piece of new information to maximum sensationalistic mediagasm proportions?
Seriously what's it with the disconnecting after a lost game?
It happens in 90% of my Street Fighter IV games on PSN. Even if those guys played and won multiple games in a row against me, most disconnect after only one lost game, some even after one lost round.
Do these people have no balls? Pathetic.
I get this all the time too. People only seem to care about their rank.
Shows with a story arc must be shown in the same slot religiously. Imagine you missed a few episodes of Bleach. Would you even try to continue watching it? When your audience has to "work" to keep up with the show because you keep rotating it around your schedule, they soon won't bother with it. Maybe you'll get a few die-hard fans to study your schedule to ensure they won't miss a thing, but die-hard fans are of no interest to network execs. They want ratings.
I agree with your overall point but Bleach has more filler than your mom's meatloaf. You could easily sleep through several seasons and still know what's going on.

There's a word in English, "most", appropriate for this situation. It's not necessary or helpful to invent obviously-made-up-numbers to illustrate "most". I doubt you have data to back up that only one in one billion cookies is useful.

The god explanation is such a cop out.

Budda, Zeus, God, one of you guys, do something!
Help, Satan, you owe me!
I see a few dots of light

I just can't see any way of defining "free will" that doesn't involve randomness.
You could but not without admitting there is such a thing as a soul.
Why worry about crap that better minds than me have been stumbling over for millennia.
Becasue if I'm wrong then I don't have a choice in the matter anyway.
Get over it. Have fun.
Why are you telling us what to do?
If your right we can't help ourselves anyway.
Because if you shouted "So say we all," it would sound silly.
When EJO shouts it, people want--no, need--to obey.
Yeah, otherwise you might get a strongly worded letter from them.
Um, because Slashdot wouldn't have a story on its front page if you were to visit the UN?

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that we actually enjoy living.

Actually, unbaptized babies go to Limbo. Read something besides Pagan FUD please. Thank you.
Rome threw out the idea of limbo. Didn't you get the memo?
Since planes don't have anchors, it would be failsafe.
I believe aerospace engineering will some day advance to the place where airplane anchors will be common.
gosh I don't know, maybe NASA's slightly more interested in getting plain facts out instead of hyping every latest piece of new information to maximum sensationalistic mediagasm proportions?
Since when?
Then why do they do it in "Player Matches" (these are non-ranked, correct me if I'm wrong)?
If people disconnect from non-ranked matches I just assume they're sick of loosing to me.
Compared to THAT song "Ice Ice Baby" would be a blessing I tell you!
Ok I don't know how this war got started but I'm ending it by telling you what I want. WHAT I REALLY REALLY WANT!
Without mashups, we'd all be able to touch M.C. Hammer.
Yes but who would want to.
it lacks the requisite but gratuitous cast of "ho's",
Well...there goes my interest.

Now I have this urge to buy a sniper rifle.
Stupid AWP is soo overpowered.
Lol we all got modden down. Now that's a proper ending. Why can't the networks bring closure like that.
That's like judging all movies by The Fast & The Furious. It's retarded. Not all anime is crap.
Nope but like all mass media 90% of it is crap.

I agree 110 percent!
The folks at Paramount didn't want it. They felt it would be too dark for Star Trek and not have the hopeful feel that the rest of the series had.
So that's how we got Hercules in space.
I always knew a board meeting was some how involved.
