Regarding free will. Repeat: it is a non-issue. There is no empirical way to decide one way or the other, and of no consequence whether it is one way or the other. However, it is an issue for people seeking God. They appear to enjoy(?) dissecting it, at least judging by the amount of energy they devote to it.

What I really want to know is what you guys think about the pie! It's something of a specialty of mine, making up stories out of random instances: so: A) Pacer from the future will die soon (in the future), before he died, he wanted to have a pie, which reminded him of his childhood n' all B) Pacer built a time machine, but realized it couldn't take him back to a time before the critical component of the time machine was built (or after it's halflife expired), which turned out to be about a year before this incident. He also discovered that the timeline was fixed and immutable, so he bought a pie out of frusteration. C) The pie is a nonissue, Pacer came from the future so that Pacer in the past could realize a clever aspect of his future existance and create the worlds first time machine. D) Pacer in the future becomes an immortal time warrior, crossing time, space, and causality searching for the mythical "quintessence" , a powerful cosmic force inherant in random objects strewn throughout the cosmos. One happens to be in a pie in the past.

Yes!!! Teza will win hands down, unless Pacer changes drastically in the coming years...

HOLY FRIGGIN SHAT. I just read through ALL of that, and might I say, I'm impressed. Until now, I thought I was the only one thinking of this kinda stuff. Not all Americans spell traveller with one l. I grew up with a Brit for a best friend, and she was always helping me in english. She pretty much taught me english for the most part, so I speak with mostly a British undertone-type-thing. She also came up with my sweet name! ;D I do miss her though, haven't seen her since I moved in 6th grade. Seriously though, I am impressed with the depth of your posts guys. Kudos and pizza for everyone here.

Pizza!!! Is it pizza from the past?? That depends on how you look at it. At the time of the post I sent you guys e-pizza and kudos. That could be interpreted as present pizza. If you look at it now, it'd be past pizza. Take it as you want it, it's still good pizza ;D. BTW did you like it? There were future pepperonis on it. They have less fat then past pepperonis.

well my objections to this technical/phisical: 1-When HG Builds his machine he cant take the risk to change the past becouse any change, as small as it can seen can end up preventing him from existing, or from having the neccesary knowledge/skills to build the time machine in the first place. So the past is inmutable to him. 2- His only option is to travel foward, to the future, and therefore he cant know before hand what he will find, and that means a lot of chances of finding death due to harsh envyromental conditions, or random events before he can take the life elixir or anything, leaving only a small chance of him reaching imortally logical 1-Even if he reaches inmortallity he is still human, and that means his psychology is human, and this is the "deal braker" he is bound to make mistakes (And I mean a mistake he cant fix either becouse of death, since his imortality wont be complete or by losing or breaking his time machine in a situation where he cant repair it or build another), let his emotions get the best of him (love-hate-lust-anger-greed), his moral would get in the way of some of the things he has to do, and finally as every other human being, he would want to be happy, do the things he like, be with the person he loves, etc. so he would eventually get tired or bored

Mine is german, and it pretty much sucks still. And you spelled "blame" wrong. No offense meant, I'm just picky when it comes to spelling.
