        Again: “compulsively” “helplessly”.

        Look, if you’re not interested in admitting that words have meaning, you’re not arguing in good faith and I’m done with you. Have a good one.

            Choice is, by definition, not subject to compulsion, and if it is subject to compulsion is not a willing choice, it is forced and influenced. If you want to be a pedantic asshole at least have the intellectual integrity to be right first.

                And not a choice.

                Yes, action against compulsion is an active choice, but to not do so is not suddenly a lack of active choice, just a lack of ability to enforce it.

                If you’re concerned with what you are, be different.

                    Consider a dictionary.

                    I’ll repeat myself for your own benefit.

                    Yes, action against compulsion is an active choice, but to not do so is not suddenly a lack of active choice, just a lack of ability to enforce it.

                    Wilful ignorance devalues your position far more than an ad hominem ever will.
