Wow, seriously. You are actually attempting to imply that it's fine for you to offer your opinion about what he does with his life, but it's "silly" when I do it... even when we're both offering the same advice. That's a stunning amount of deflection. Or does it just pain you that much to find us on the same side of an issue? :-<
Also, if you take a look, the only thing I literally said he SHOULD be doing is thinking hard about his choices about what he does with his life. I wasn't telling him what to do in any concrete terms. I was just asking questions like "What do you think will happen if you do this?" and "Which of these outcomes seems more likely?" And that's absolutely in line with the LOO. Growth in wisdom and gaining better ability to evaluate the likely outcomes of one's actions are part of the journey back towards Unity and Oneness.
But you're right. He has free will, and -as an aside- it's nice to see you recognizing free will in others rather than blaming scapegoats. If he really wants to do this, he can and will. If he ends up in prison, that will undoubtedly be an activity full of catalyst for him to learn from. We can't stop him. I'm still not going to apologize for having enough empathy to care about this situation, though, or for encouraging someone to think hard before taking a possibly-extreme action.
