Have you ever thought you were Psychic ?

[GoldenThong]

ye, those type of people are nutty. probably the sort who also kill other people for the good cause.

Hmmm you are such a lovely person

 

[Jjuraa]

Hmmm you are such a lovely person

he has a point, a lot of those people are just fcking ridiculous.

case in point, that woman starts a thread "i have put a picture in an envolope blah blah see if you can visualise what it is"

one person got it right, im assuming either through luck or subliminal hints.


EVERY other person got it completely wrong.

"its a tree"

"its an angel"

and those are all people who claim to be psychic. its beyond stupidity. i hate to think how sad a life one must lead to believe that their only special gift is one that doesnt actually exist.

 

[GoldenThong]

Well they can believe in wat they want tbh you believe in wat you want and the world will be a happier place if you dont go around assuming people murder others because they believe they are phsycic (sp?) tired..............but pissed off at the world these days noone has a nice thing to say about anyone.

Why cant every one just live and let live...............personally I couldnt care less how people spend their spare time but all the hate in the world *sigh* is it me or has the world changed immensly in the last 15-20 years?





Ahhhhhhhhhhh well my life is brilliant my love is pure...................qq over of that im sure

 

[old.Tohtori]

I'm just gonna attack each and everyone on this thread without naming names.

It isn't proven that people can be psychic, so it's not 100% true, also it hasn't been proven that it ISN'T possible. So it might be true.

Case kinda closed on the is it true or not.

Majority of the people believe in a guy who walked on water, turned water into booze and rose from the dead like a zombie. So, calling psychic abilities bull, and believing in angels and an all mmighty being watching us, is kinda like waving a two edged sword around.

But, saying that "IT MUST BE TRUE!!!", is also a bit wrong. As much so even. Since it's not proven to be right, it's only a belief.

Now, that being said, i'm coming for you lot.

Could you PLEASE refrain from insulting each other when posting a reply. Darksword could have posted his argument in a more civilized way, but it gave no right to attack him.

Also the continuense of it all didn't go too well, on either side, both acting like bad mannered children.

So civilize up bit. Allright? Allright.

Now, leave the CoC and all it's erectile glory to the mods. If you believe it's been broken, report it and don't try to fix things yourself. Mods are here for a cause, believe it or not.

I think it's once again due time to tell people to re-read what their about to post and look at each attack they make and go "hmm, should i really call him that or is there a better way to do this?"

You might not like what i'm saying but you know i'm right.

*huffs off the soapbox*

 

[Blackjack]

well without details mate theres no reason why we cant just assume youre bullshitting cant argue with physics im afraid.

never claimed to be a psychic

but here are the facts.

well as you might and might not know i like working with dreams. 1 part of getting to work on my own dreams is writing them down when i wake up so i dont forget them. wrote this one down:

Talking to a big girl about cucumbers infront of a giant tipi.
that was what was on paper.

Nonsense right. well a few months later i went on a trip with my old school. when we arrived to the location we found that we had to sleep in dadam a giant tipi. the big tipi didn't really trigger any deja vu or anything but the next day out of coincidence i got in an argument with a fat chick about whether or not she should wash the cucumbers, this was right infront of the tipi. It was only there it hit me. She started the cucumber argument so I didn't make it come true myself. i didn't know we were going out to a giant tipi and i had no way of knowing i would be grouped with the biggest girl in school you are welcome to find any flaws this might have. but tbh, those 3 factors hitting at the same time hitting at the same time. with stuff i had never seen or done before is just too much to be coincidence. Even if i have had the 80000'ish dreams.

 

[Jupitus]

Darksword could have posted his argument in a more civilized way, but it gave no right to attack him.

I can still give him a 3 day warning ban for his blatant homophobia and aggression....

 

[old.Tohtori]

Well, umm, yes...but you can do that anytime to anyone if you see it fit

 

[haarewin]

every 1 is born with a brain use it an u'll spew less shit

says the DBZ fan

my experiences are a few dreams where i've had the dream and then at some point after that dream its occured in reality. i cant be bothered going into detail, but i don't think every one of those dreams was prophetic either. or situations when someone is upset or whatever, i seem to be able to empathise and know exactly what the problem is without asking.
the 'freakiest' experience i've ever had was waking up in the middle of the night when i was 6, feeling like someone was there. i sat up, and what looked like my dad was sitting at the end of my bed, cross legged, smiling at me. so i tried to reach out for him, and it was almost like a ghost of my dad. whats strange is that my dad is alive, and was fast asleep in bed in the room next to me. i never ever asked him if he was dreaming about sitting on my bed, because i thought it would sound bloody loopy. i remember it so well because it freaked me out.

The majority of the people don't take these myths literally though. Christianity is a religion of interpretation. When the bible contradicts science, people will decide they have to interpret the story in a different way. Sure, the pope is a bit slow, but a few years ago the Church has declared that Galileo might've been right .

One interpretation of god being almighty isn't that he has an absolute power over everything, but rather that he is a 'perfect' power (unlike a dictator's power e.g.). God creating the earth could be interpreted as god being related to world in a unique way, rather than that he actually created it.

I don't believe in a god myself, but I think it's wrong to depict everyone who does as someone who takes all these myths litterally.

I think it's once again due time to tell people to re-read what their about to post and look at each attack they make and go "hmm, should i really call him that or is there a better way to do this?"

I re-read my posts again and maybe calling Darksword's evidence worthless wasn't the most diplomatic approach. It probably would've been better to just have asked for his sources instead. I don't think I went over the top though.

I'm all with you on the subject of it being true or not, as I mentioned in my first post.

 

[Deepfat]

I saw this Psychic fair being advertised in the chippy near me. Bunch of frauds if you ask me! I mean if they were psychic they'd already know it was going to happen, right, so why advertise! Who do they think they're fooling? Not me.....

 

[tris-]

i think the projection thing is a load of shit bags, imo ofcourse.
i could put something in an envelope and if enough people guessed then at least one person would get it right. assuming what i draw is a real object that everyone knows.

its like that monkey thing with shakespear.

 

[Marc]

lol. i never say anything aggresivly its always like "shut up and stop being gay" or "your such a ****".

Oh thats ok then!!!

 

[Jjuraa]

Why cant every one just live and let live............... personally I couldnt care less how people spend their spare time but all the hate in the world *sigh* is it me or has the world changed immensly in the last 15-20 years?

its you, im afraid. the reason there is so much "hate" in the world is because its necessary. EVERYBODY (and i mean everybody) needs someone to hate, someone to be against. live and let live may sound nice, but imagine a world where you couldnt disagree with anyone

assuming what i draw is a real object that everyone knows.

thats what gets me. if i drew something obscure, like a pink hamster playng a claranet at midnight in a swamp. nobody would get it. the trouble is, SOMEONE would say "i see a girbil" or something, and when i point out that thats not what i drew, theyd say "oh well you know, the rest of the vision was cloudy, but i was close enough." and that would be enough to convince them theyre psychic.

Horoscopes work in the exact same way, they say something vague, and let your mind fill in the rest. and now if theyre wrong, they blame it on the fact that theres a "new planet" in the solar system

 

[Ezteq]

mind you you can argue for or against it as much as you like but at the end of the day it doesnt hurt anyone (unless your one of those scumbag's that contact people after reading an obituary and saying i've had a message from your loved one and ill tell you for £300) and your believing or disbelieving it isnt really going to change the way other people think.

Tbh i might sound a wee bit silly here but hay whats new! i like a little bit of magic and mistery, i like the idea that there could be unexplained thingies out there and if i saw the world as being 100% explainable it'd be dull.

The idea of magical going's on is appealing to people (just look at sales for lotr, harry potter etc merchandise) people like to think that there might be something lovely out there that makes the world a little brighter than all the death and destruction that makes the world a dark place and that we know for a fact really is there.

Oh, I see. One person was using a transmitter. All psychic stuff is made with transmitters.

Thanks for enlightment.

Right now I'm just discussing to keep up a discussion. I seriously doubt that some sort of preacher-guy yelling stuff in the television would get me to believe in psychics. Needs to be on a more personal level for me. But enough talking about me

I could have used that aswell and said "look how easily you can make a psychic look fake", all you have to do is put some speech on a video and BANG fake psychic.

 

[Darksword]

- thinking your psychic CAN hurt people. About a year ago (i think) i saw a program where this russian girl thought she was psychic and could see what was wrong with people medically and would "prescribe" a cure. She was tested by some team in america that have tested these things before. They said she was not psychic. so she obviously could be hurting people by thinking she is psychic, although unintentionally.

And marc, in my eyes its perfectly alright, (off topic here so only read if you care) - Its all about social norms, i.e. its ok to see dead bodies and death on tv but to see where those bodies come from originally is not ok? So in short, more porn on tv.

got other points to make but cant remember because im larfing at the fight that happened alst night.

{edit} and im back

 

[Tisme]

Can also help ppl....I don't agree with medical psychics unless u get a second opinion from a professional doctor.
But in some cases with psychics they can help a lot of ppl deal with things its a bit like getting counselling in some respects.
Just my opinion anyway

 

[Speedr]

Cheers for the reading guys / girls , it's been nice to see not all people are sceptics [ sp ?] yes you all have your own way of expression but we'd be nothing but clones of each other without that.

Darksword : you have a very angry way of getting your point across, and it makes you seem like a right twat tbh, but as i have said above you have your own view of things... but flaming someone for their view and calling em gay ain't the brightset way of doing that is it ?

Tohtori , Ezteq , Tisme and all the others : glad to see you putting your point across healthily and very glad to have your input into this although it turned into a mini flamewar midway

Conclusion : I have my own beliefs as do others, i'm gonna continue to believe i have a certain something to do with my mind that can't be explained but only discussed. Yes there are alot of crackpots out there but some who claim psychic ability may actually have it.

The stuff about religion, it's all about belief but religion HAS to have a " God " otherwise it's just a cult ain't it ? oh yeah about christianity and it's beliefs... although i'm a roman catholic , i have my doubts about some of the stuff in the bible also, granted it explains alot of things on which the religion is based upon, it also skips alot of jesus's life and the fact it was probably written uhndreds of years after he was here throws doubt on some of it's claims. As for other religions i cannot comment on, but i imagine they all have some stuff missing somewhere .

Feel free to let this thread die off to the depths of FH archives if you wish, or continue to comment, cheers to all of you

Horoscopes work in the exact same way, they say something vague, and let your mind fill in the rest.

wasnt there a story that went something like:

a group of students started taking a class (dont remember what subject) and in the first class the teacher gave them a test of personality. just a few really really obscure questions and all the students thought 'how the hell is he gonna know by those questions what i am like'. the next day the students all recieved a4 papers with a long text describing them. every single one of the students thought 'omg, thats just me, how did you do it?'. the teacher asked them to trade papers with the person next to them - what the students found out was, all the papers were the same vague text that can be interpreted to suit anyones personality.

now the tricky part...
a while ago there was this thing where you could get your private free horoscope. I don't believe in the stuff, dídn't then, still don't, atleast not in the way they are describing it to work. For the simple reason, if you make a few calculations on which effects planets etc have on you here there is only one real force that can affect us over this distance, and that's gravity. Well calculate it thru, and it shows that a teaspoon on a cubbart next to the delivery room has a greater gravitational effect on you during birth then mars on it's closest distance to earth.
Also, planet's effects, and their names, and the ones that named the planets.
Astronomers in the IAU name the planets. (these people are BY FAR not thesame as astologists). They are named like greek or roman mythological creatures.

now, take venus, named to the greek goddess of love and beauty, by scientists... and what effect does it have according to the astrology?
Same for Mars (war, masculin), Pluto yadda yadda

However... the outcome was quite remarkable.

I did four runs of it all, one for me, one for my brother, my mom and dad.
Had to enter birthdate, time, place etc. the usual stuff.
All of us looked at our own paper, and thought, yeah, that's me. however, non of us had thesame feeling about any of the others... We did think though, looking at that description that it did look a whole lot like the one it was made for.

I don't know how it worked, definately don't believe in the entire planets crap since the only two "planets" having a real effect larger then the teaspoon is the moon and the sun. Perhaps it's got something to do with the culture / era someone grew up in, I don't know, but the results were quite remarkable, that I do know.
