How/why does this always happen?

We were discussing free will and determinism today in Philosophy... to me, it seems ridiculously absurd that anyone should actually believe that his or her life is completely predetermined and no matter what they do, they don't do it by free will. Really? So... each one of my thoughts, emotions, heartbeats is predetermined? Someone is putting these thoughts and emotions into my head for me? They calculated in those 15 minutes of micro in which I completely zoned out? I highly doubt it. But, if that is the case and we are all programmed to think, feel, and act the way we do without any control over it... then somebody/something has a lot of spare time to mess around with. There's no way.

I honestly believe that people are born evil. Yup! I said it! The only reason that the general population believes that we are all born good and end up corrupted is because no one wants to be labeled an 'evil' person. But think about... if people are born evil, why doesn't the vast majority commit evil acts? Let's look at the trifecta: Murder, theft, and adultery. Say person X commits and one of these three frowned upon scenarios. When (not if) that person is caught or discovered, they get into trouble. And what happens when you get into trouble regarding those three acts? You get arrested. Spend time in jail until they figure out who's charging you with what. Pay a bail. Go in and out, in and out of court for weeks, maybe months. Get either sentenced to jail or fined out the ass (I understand that you don't get arrested for adultery, but chances are you'll still spend a lot of time in [divorce] court and will be extremely broke afterwards). So basically, getting 'in to trouble' takes up two of peoples most prized resources: their time and their money. The short of it - it's inconvenient for people to get into trouble.

Even as children, we were taught that getting into trouble meant we didn't get allowance, didn't get ice cream, had to do chores... thus taking up our time and money.

I could go on... but I don't have the patience to sit here and type my fingers to the bone... perhaps I'll revisit this on another day.

On a lighter note, I just got an email from e.l.f. about a sale they're having. If you buy bag A you get five free things to put into it, for bag B you get three, and for bag C you get one. I'm enticed! I love e.l.f. because their make-up is cheap in price but performs extremely well (I can't live without my eyebrow gel and clear mascara!!!!). There products are anywhere from $1 to $3 and they don't rape you with shipping charges. ...Maybe I'll get my sister (and myself) a bag filled with goodies for her birthday... I am, after all, a make-up junkie :)
