1. What you side..."but the trick is not to control them, but to not let them control you."
Is what I already stated...
"The issueis not do we have self determisum but how much self control we have of our reactions. "
2.Our emtional state still limits how we react. We can make suew we don't let our feeling control us but our feeling still can limit our choice to how we react.
This issue is a big question in ruling judgement in law. If it was always the case the a person is judge for there actions, we would have cases of insanity, or warp state of mind made.
I'm not saying we don't have free will, just that a person has points to question it . We don;t have self control all the time.
1. No sh*+. And I was saying it before you did. Self-determinism is pretty much defined as self-conrol.
2. That's a crock of sh*+. I don't buy that garbage one bit. I'll let it slide and chalk it down to my experience in the US Military. Any and all self-respecting serviceman has absolute control over all of his choices and options. You have to maintain personal and professional composure of conduct at all times.
'I was angry and hurt' is no excuse at all. Neither is 'I was jealous.' 'I was drunk' is the best of the bunch.
I don't buy the 'crime of passion' plea. It's stupid. The person made the choice to commit the crime, they get to deal with the consequences. Yeah you're blind and infuriatingly angry. You still made the decision to act on that fury.
The insanity plea is different. That comes from a recognized and diagnosed mental disorder in which the defendent is constantly suffering in a permanent state.
