Why is there so much debate about free will?

It's so obvious that we have it. You can choose to get in a car. If so you made a choice. However if someone pushes you into that car, you were forced in. You didn't make a choice in that case.

I don't know.

I thought that whale was freed at the end of the movie years ago. And then he was freed in real life, but he wanted to stay with humans.

There's so much debate about free will because many people feel they lack it--yet they want it.

The problem with 'free will' is that we can choose, but our options are limited.
You can choose anything off a market shelf, but you can't choose something the store doesn't sell.
You can choose to go right or left at your typical intersection, but you can't go catty-corner.
It's a conundrum.
Me brain hurts.
