What Has Happened To Free Will?

On a recent article, a poster insisted to me that he could MAKE me hit him. We were talking about the Muslims attacking the Embassy because of the movie "Innocence of Mohammad". I had said that those who chose to react in a violent manner needed to own their actions. He claimed that the film maker was at fault and that the film maker MADE them react that way. My question is this: Do people no longer have free will, and if not, why? Have we become so conditioned by our government that we truly believe we are not responsible for our actions, or is it just a cop out?
My opinion is that no one can make you act in a manner in which you did not intend to act. Put your big boy/girl panties on and quit blaming your behavior on others. And please, if you really think someone can make you do something, dont breed and pass that stupid gene on to others. We have enough idiots running around as it is.

Is There A New Eugenics Program in NYC Schools?

13 schools in NYC will be handing out "Plan B" to girls as young as 14 without parental consent. These schools were targeted because of their high teen pregnancy rates. Rates that tend to be higher in poor areas. Is this a new era of Eugenics? Example: Girl has unprotected sex. School nurse gives her "Plan B" but doesnt check for STDs or provide any counseling. Girl goes back to having unprotected sex, knowing she can get the morning after pill when ever she wants. She also goes back to increasing her risk of contracting or spreading STDs. Girl contracts an STD, which goes untreated and results in loss of fertility. Girl (probably poor because of who they're targeting) can no longer reproduce. Modern day version of ius primæ noctis or "Breeding Them Out".

Are We Raising Our Kids To Be Mass Murderers?

In a way, I would have to say yes.
Keep in mind, this is just a theory, but let me explain it:
I am 35. I grew up on the tail end of "NOT everyone is a winner". My track and field day- 10 kids ran the race and only the top 3 got ribbons. 70% of the kids lost. You knew you werent always going to win and you dealt with it because it was normal. My son's track and field- 5 kids run the race and all of them get a ribbon. There are no losers, only winners. These poor kids arent learning what its going to take to succeed in life because they never had to fight to be the best. Competition is looked at as a bad thing, so kids are just doing the minimum, yet they are still thinking that they are on top of the world because thats what they've always been told.
In my "day" (God, I sound old! LOL!) there were tryouts for Little League. Now every kid plays. Sports teams get "Participation" trophies. Everyone is a winner because we dont want anyone to get their feelings hurt. Kids dont learn how to deal with rejection because they never get the joy of experiencing it. Suddenly, they are competing to get a job or get into a certain college, and they lose. They dont know how to cope with it, and they snap.
Look at the recent shooting- Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, Connecticut. One thing they all have in common- young males under the age of 30 that grew up in a society that told them they were winners no matter what. Or at least winners until they got out into the real world. If they werent wrapped too tight to begin with, what did those rejections do to their minds? Did we set our next generation up for failure? If we did, what can we do about it?
Again, this is just my theory, but it does seem to fit.
