Right, so it's dog, but you prefer to call it taco meat. I'm not disagreeing with you, mind you...lol...just commenting on what it looks like to an outsider. The only difference between our positions is that I don't screw around with referring to what we have with the folkloric term. It would -seem- like there should be a bigger difference between a compatibilists position and a "LOLNo, stop fucking around" hard determinists position in this regard, there just never seems to be.
Do we have free will?
Compatibilist answer: Yes*
Determinist answer: No
*by yes we mean no, you see it;s all about how we define........yadda yadda yadda.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
