philosophers pose practical questions like...is there a best way to live.  How do you feel about philosophy in general
I love Philosophy, and to be completely honest I wish I had people to converse with about it.
I agree.  I often wonder about things like whether or not humans have free will
Me too.  When you back your view up and realize why people are doing things, you realize they're doing them because of the environment they're in.
exactly, although there is some concern about free will and how it is perceived...which causes room for debate I suppose.
Correct.  Perhaps free will exists, but only if the person has the ability to allow it to exist.  Those without money or shelter or basics don't have as much control over their will as a wealthy individual.
I never really thought about it that way...and if you think about homelessness in the u.s. alone...there is obviously much less control
Indeed.  I often wonder how a human deals with those issues.  People look at them as failed or hopeless, but perhaps they just realize their will isn't looked at like the wealthy businessman walking by.  It must be beyond debilitating.
