Just wanted to know your opinion about this matter.
I want to believe we are able to determine our own future, but even so there are things that maybe are beyond our abilities (and so somehow linked to destiny).

i voted for Choice, since i don't like the idea of something else being in control of my life...i know i may not do good on my own, but its what i want.

Free will. I think it's far too unlikely that everything is pre-planned. I do, however, like the many worlds interpretation in which essentially every possible combination of events is occuring.

NightSwan also said that she wanted to peg me, once, but I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or a threat...

I think both actually. Destiny, because we don't choose what kind of setting we are born into nor the environment we grow up in which affects our own future greatly. Choice also affects it because you choose what the major things in your life. (Ex. Jobs, marriage, etc.)

So many bad things happen to me that I pray for free choice. I can live with the idea that I screwed myself, I cant live with the idea that it is my destiny to be screwed.

I have extremely complex musings and theories on the matter, so I voted other.

I went with Both.

We're all destined to die, simple.

But we can do whatever we want till then, choice.

Both.
We choose,
but the thing will not haunt
us 'til we choose it.
If we warp back in time,
we will still choose the same thing.
In other words,
we choose once and then
it is our destiny.

I wouldn't call death destiny. More like inevitable. We will die sometime or another, but we can choose to hasten the process by drinking, smoking, random thoughts of depression 😛

At least thats my view

Choice, nobody controls what I do except me myself

My theory is completely dependent on time travel. It basically works out so that you go back in time and attempt to kill yourself. If destiny is real, then you won't be able to kill yourself, and everything is already preplanned. If you successfully kill yourself, clearly the universe doesn't give a damn (You're not going to disappear no matter what. That's never made sense in sci-fi), and destiny doesn't exist. As far as choice, no matter what it's real. Even with destiny, you're not going to become a doctor (legally) if you never choose to pursue that career path. Your choices influence your life even if they are part of your destiny.

edit: We all know that choice exists because we make choices. Destiny is a matter that is completely separate from choice.

Somewhat incorrect.
Feel the power of suggestion.

How can you define something like that?
When something happens, whether it's good or bad, how can you say that it was destined to happen?
You can say the opposite as well.

The only thing that we (ourselves) can't control are thing that are done without us being able to stop or correct, because other, stronger people/factors are involed.

Thing happen.. You can call it destiny if you like, but it may or may not have happend.. Things that occurred in the past- easy to call destiny..
