Did you know there is now a drug that can take away free will?

Yes, but from what I read I find it to be a load of garbage. I never trust mainstream media. I only mentioned it because it popped into my train of thought while reading your response on freewill. Researched the article, may dig a little deeper to find something more reliable.
Here's the link.

In the west we more deal in delusion than reality more often than not.

Karma, like a credit rating, applies to everyone whether you want it to or not. That's......karma.
Who is doing the rating and if so why are you in belief of such a thing?
Good edit. Really. Buddhism is difficult because it relies so much on metaphor and in the west we kinda deal in reality. It's YOU that does the rating. That's the point.
what is that then?

how do you figure that, arguably, two of the more peaceful religions, are nihilistic in nature? both religions teach unconditional love as well as walking the path of least resistance...are you unfamiliar with the teachings of the eightfold path as it were or are you claiming that hindus are spiritually all over the map?

Buddhists as are Hindus, Nihilist in feature form, exist as a fo-mat; spiritually all over the map as far as this walkabout describes; past prior or future existence (apologies in advance).

right, well psychiatric drugs aren't necessarily capable of taking away Free Will in its entirety.
