I hate my father but he’s not retarded. I don’t know what it would do to my self esteem knowing I came from that kind of DNA.

I did send him into an angry silence when I proved that Obama caused our job growth rather than Trump.

You proved it?

Edit (I’m not even sure I believe there was a job growth)

I do, just not good jobs. Or at least more people are employed.

So your dad is a gold digging slimeball and your mother is an evangelical accountant? Explains a lot.

It's a scientific fact that the more intelligent the animal the longer the maturation period is. This also applies to humans, they are generally intelligent (although not equally across the board) but being of higher intelligence they have a longer maturation period, the longer maturation period means thet have more of a propensity to play. Kids play not because they haven't been programmed not to play, or because they haven't been properly instilled fear not to play cause they might wind up getting hurt. I am sure that there is a kid somewhere who is running when he not suppose and is not getting hurt. If kids run and play cause that is the phase they are in. If kids play and get hurt it's cause it is a dangerous world, not cause they haven't been properly programmed to fear getting hurt. Bear cubs run and play, no one thinks whether they have blank minds that weren't instilled fear of running and getting hurt.

In your argument you made it out that kids don't have "free will" until a someone comes along and programs fear so now they can choose between running around and not running around because they are gripped with the abject fear of running around, getting hurt and ending up in the hospital. You are talking about kids like they are these robots that so happens not to be programmed to not run around. Like kids have these blank punch card brains or are controlled by blank hard drives and that they'll do things like run off a cliff because their parents or teachers or guardians didn't write the program to stop them from running around. Even if a kid didn't contemplate getting hurt from running around, they still have a choice between of running or not running. Running around is fun. The point of running around isn't to get hurt. It's play. It's get an adrenaline rush. Running is not some failure at Fortran thus disproving free will. So inclusion I don’t understand what your point is supposed to be.
