Is Moral Responsibility Compatible With Determinism?
#22
RE: Is Moral Responsibility Compatible With Determinism?
-and if it weren't, then a person would be as responsible as they could be for the consent they give.  

We already know that consent can be compelled.  There are multiple industries that operate on this principle. Getting a person to say yes to something doesn't seem to be a whole lot more than a matter of presentation.
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!
