Or... you could just go and say "You are a biological machine, and will have an identical output in an identical scenario given an identical input no matter how many times you run it through." Offends fewer people, makes a statement about whether will is 'free' based on determinism. To which then some non-deterministic person disagrees given that they do not subscribe to determinism, rendering the argument pointless to them, and you might both come out of the experience enlightened, enriched, and hating each other's guts like they were satan.
But... you didn't say lick about free will, only that location and timing is a factor in the decisions you make. You're a genius, ain't nobody ever thought of that one before!
Edit: readability for retards.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
