    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.
