Aslo, think of what Skip said, about people just kind of following a path they were purposefully set on. Say that were true, that our destiny is in fact that, with no way to avoid it, and no choice in the matter? then we already have no free will.

We have choices, but the choices we make only affects how fast or slow we move towards our ultimate destination and where we were supposed to be. You can swim against current all you like, but sooner or later you will tire and the river will take you where you were meant to be.
 
Some people are missing the point here a little. The trade off isn't free will for world peace. It's free will for complete happiness. World peace is a symptom of that, not the cause.
 
i dunno. i mean, if you aren't aware of the fact that you have no free will, then i guess its the whole ignorance is bliss thing... bliss indeed lol. so i guess it wasn't that terrible because people didn't even know enough to struggle against it, they weren't even aware of what was happening to them... I'm not saying its right but i can understand the point of view that maybe it'd be ok in some way.

Exactly. All the negatives of the "Ignorance is Bliss" scenario are stripped away leaving...well, bliss.
