“Pretty soon people will be doing silly things on the Net just to get attention. I don’t do silly things. I do real things. If you want to get the real things, it’s with me. Silly things — don’t come. Go and look for another one.
"You know today, people do silly things on the Internet to get hits on YouTube to make money. That’s something that I learned in my life…people do whatever to make money. There are two ways to live a life: life by principle and life by preference. A guy who lives life by principle doesn’t break for anyone. He lives it. He makes sure he lives it. He doesn’t negotiate. It’s not about money. It’s not about position. Guys live about principle and that’s me. A guy who lives about preference is a guy who does whatever.”
“Pretty soon people are going to be doing silly things. Pretty soon they are going to be doing porno with the neighbor. I don’t know what’s going on with the Internet, but I know one thing: I don’t know what you’ve been clicking, but make sure you’re clicking the right things.
"Especially if you’re a married man, especially if you have a family, don’t click on nasty things because if you click on a nasty thing that’s what your son or your daughter is going to be doing. So don’t be mad if your daughter is looking at nasty things because of you. You are an example for your family, so make sure you can set up the principles for your family.
"Don’t be just a guy looking for something for life, like, ‘Oh man, look at me. I’m making millions,’ but what have you been selling. What have you been offering to the next generation. Be a principle man. Don’t be a preference man. That’s for you. You know. That’s for you.”
MonsterBalls - LOL @ Monsterball claiming that meeting a 2000 year old dead guy (or even an actual ghost for that matter) in real life belongs to the realm of "something that disproves someone's logic".....as opposed to some nutjobs delusional gibberish.
Determinism is on one extreme of the nature nurture debate. Existentialism is on the other. We are indeed largely a product of our environments, but we have also created our environments and molded them to something far from that primordial jungle. That we could and did do that, that alone should be adequate evidence that determinism is not the entire story.
They could make choices; but those choices would just be the result of non-rational, deterministic forces at work. Our cognitive faculties would be kind of like weeds growing. As atheist Richard Dawkins put it, “…all of us are just dancing to the music of our DNA.” All of our thoughts and choices could be explained with respect to the chemistry in our brain. And if that is the case, you can’t blame Vitor for what he said-that is, if atheism is true.
Huh? How does the nonexistence of a god mean people can't make their own choices? I don't believe in mythology but I choose mostly to not browse internet porn. That's my free choice 99% of the time. The 1% of the time I do browse porn is also my free choice.
If there is no God, there isn't any free will. If there is no free will, then you can't blame Vitor for what he said. He was just predetermined to say what he said.
