Psychics

[The Spawn]

Anyone ever get their palms read or get a tarot card reading done? Did you get more afterward? Do you get them done on a regular basis?

Do you think it's all ********?

 

[ChickenScratch]

I'm always surprised when people tell me they believe in such garbage. Guess there really is a sucker born every minute, but then houses of worship being filled proves that in spades.

 

[bullets]

I knew you were going to say something like that.

 

[Majic Walrus]

Psychics are ********.

was that even remotely necessary to the discussion at hand?

I have never been to a psychic or anything, but one guy I saw on tv was quite convincing. Not the usual type, as he found a system to prove the veracity of what he was doing. A guy who painted his dreams and saw that some of them coralated with later events.
He would take a photo of himself with the paintings in his local bank under the bank's date and clock showing, to prove when he was standing there with the painting.
He had paintings that matched up with the 9/11 attacks, the murderer Thomas Hamilton who shot a bunch of kids in a school in Scotland, and a serial killer, Fred West, who hanged himself.
It was called 'The man who paints the future' and was on ch5 on uk tv.
I couldn't find the doc on the net but found this interview with someone who exposes fraudulent psychics and she says that this guy 'certainly warrented further investigation.'

The only thing they said was that maybe he added details to the pictures after taking the photos, but I seem to recall that they magnified the pics and saw details there already. Some of the details were amazing, like a photograph of the murderer Thomas Hamilton posing with his scout troupe that was later released into the press after his murders.

Psychics are just good at observation and reading people.

But that future painter story sounds interesting.

 

[Shemtov]

It's against my religion to go to Psychics.

Yes, psychics and religion prove that people will listen to anyone and believe any garbage.

 

[CashforStash]

Ah psychics......good times...good times..

(COUGH)

Anyways yeah psychics, I'm taking it in Grade 11.

Do you believe that they actually have extraordinary powers?

 

[Shemtov]

Do you believe that they actually have extraordinary powers?

At one piont in history they did, but the true art was lost 1000 years ago.

 

[enterthemadness]

Yes, I did at the carnival last year or early this year...no last year. It was all BS and a waste of money. But kinda cool.

The mind might be capable of things we don't know . I had a dream I was on my way to work but in the backseat and an old man was driving us in a grey car. In the dream we get sideswiped coming off the exit.
The next day there was an accident at the same exit as in the dream . This isn't uncommon because you get off the highway into a roundabout and alot of accidents have happened there. Anyway a truck sideswiped an old man in a grey nissan and killed him.
This freaked me out a bit and i've kept the news article. If I have any psychic or ability or not i don't know but i think it's something that could be in alot of us. This type of situation where somebody dreams something and it comes true could be intuition or maybe deeper . I don't rule anything out.

was his name Isaac Mendez?

 

[david icke]

was his name Isaac Mendez?

Yeah, I was thinking they based the Heroes character on either him or people like him.
Bullets story was really interesting, I wish I had one like that, I hardly ever recall my dreams, maybe when I first wake up but then I forget them, if you had one that was some type of psychic wanring I'd imagine they'd be designed so you'd remember them.

Up until 911 I considered it possible that there might be something to it. Then, after 911, I didn't read / hear of even a single case of anyone claiming they hadn't gone to the office that day because their Psychic told them not to. It's hard to believe, with the number of people that worked in those buildings, that none of them went to a psychic. If none of them were warned by their psychics to skip work than those psychics are certainly not capable of predicting major events. All in all, I prefer my side-kicks over any psychics.

Are you saying that religious organizations don't draw in the gullible and naive?

I don't intend to steer the discussion into a different subject, but I was just wondering.

It's against my religion to go to Psychics.

Isn't it also against your religion to press buttons on the Sabbath?

 

[Shemtov]

if you make fun f my religion again......

 

[The Battousai]

I only used the smilie to convey that I was being playful


BTW, pointing out inconsistency is not the same as mocking.

 

[Majic Walrus]

What's to stop it from being relearned? I mean if it existed before why can't it now?

 

[unstoppable]

Yes, psychics and religion prove that people will listen to anyone and believe any garbage.

*sigh*
