There is nothing about a deterministic world-view that necessarily precludes free will.
To the contrary, hard determinism means there are no free actions. By definition, since everything is causally determined; noone acts freely.
No, that isn't true. What is important about my freedom to act is that I do what I want to do, not that I act without cause. If I act without cause I am being arbitrary, not free.
If you want to debate compatibilism with -messenjah of one, I suggest either of you propose a new thread. It seems a little remote from what Syamsu wanted to discuss.
