Hmm... I could be any of those blood types from the description. I would hazard a guess that type A is most like me but then, I have no idea what my blood type is. I should probably find that out. Im sure I have my Birth Cert somewhere.

*edit found birth cert and would you believe it does not say? What's the point of that piece of paper?

I read a book that says we're gullible, so it must be true.

A white wizard and lord of magic such as yourself buys into this crap ??? You sit down and read what Fergus Gibson has to tell you about your future ??? I think all this magic has degraded your sense of skepticism.

The master skeptic James Randi performs a wonderful demo of how easily people are fooled by astrology.

He went into a classroom, posing as an astrologer, and cast horoscopes for all the students. He had them read and rate the accuracy, and they almost overwhelmingly rated the horoscopes as accurate.

He had them pass around the horoscopes, and the students saw that every horoscope was exactly the same. It was worded vaguely enough that nearly everyone in the room thought they were being well-described. The horoscopes were so vague they matched nearly everyone, and so their predictive power was meaningless. It was all in the students' heads.

Also if gravity were the force behind astrology, then the Moon would dominate all the planets combined.

Also, back in the 1980s, Nancy Reagan, President Reagan's wife, consulted an astrologer to make sure that meetings and such were planned on auspicious dates astrologically. Her husband -- the President of the United States -- went along with it. Still don't think this is harmful? Arguably the most powerful man in the world, and he based his calendar on the random and unsubstantiated claims of an anti-scientific nonsense peddler.

Does anyone here place much store by this stuff?

A friend of mine believes quite strongly in it. To the extent she wouldn't go out with someone who wasn't compatible with her sign.

Personally, I think she's mentally defective.

It's just like religion - a great cop out.

I think you're the one that should just give up opposing anything relatively sensible said with regards to religion. At 17, you really are turning into a good little mule. I bet you have lots of friends...

Run along now, adults are speaking.

Adults are speaking? Surely not you with your petty playground insults anyway.

You see - herein is the evidence.

I don't need you to debate with me about this - you are the perfect example I'm looking for. Your sheer ignorance describes what I feel better than I ever could with words.

I worry for the future if you, being 17 as you are, are, with-out reason, trusting all your faith in an entity that we can't find any evidence for. Yet, and this is the good part, if I proclaim that we must move forward as a society or even with the tax-exempt thread, you are willing to pass it off as ridiculous or trollish.

I'm afraid you're not very good at debating but I do admire your persistence - if only you put all that energy towards something worth participating in.

Debate with you about what exactly? The fact that all you do is troll or what?

Here we go again with the random baseless insults.

Typical. You get accused of trolling and the best you can do is make snide "Oh I pity you you poor retarded child" posts.

Your insatiable desire for drugs and prostitutes is the basis on which Ireland much progress. I see.

It's times like these that I wish we had a facepalm smiley.

Nevyn · 11-01-2011 01:24AM

I have an intrest in it, find it intresting but like fúck am I going to live my life and make my decisions based on it. I know someone who lied about her conception date to try and get the consultant to do a c section so the baby would be born on a certain date, seriously WTF.

You're turning this thread into a childish ****-throwing contest and it's neither one of ours.

You've already been called out for giving your opinion on subjects that you obviously have very little knowledge of, being 17 and all. Lastly, I am actually burning brain cells reading your tripe. But I will admit, I do admire your persistence as I said...it's been a while since I've seen a such a good troll to actually make me write back. Unbelievably ignorant or just plain troll.

And it's times like these I wish we had an age limit on coming in here, it's getting brought down by kids like you. No offense, I'm not insulting you - but it's true, you're 17.

i have no words for that, just :eek:

I believe in star signs and astrology religiously. Cannot Help it. Now there was a time I didn't as nothing came true. Now I look at a couple of horoscopes from different readings and a least parts of them are true, you amazed how well it describe my day sometimes! I fully agree with the compability of peoples star signs, I'm living proof of it when it comes to relationships with friends, family and partners I have/have had.

strobe · 11-01-2011 01:40AM

You shouldn't write this stuff off so easily guys. Of course the ones in the tabloids are going to be nonsense but there are real psychics out there who can read the stars properly. My Auntie has been a professional astrologist for 48 years. Here are the basic star sign types she worked out. Just try and tell me your one isn't accurate. Be honest.

ARIES
You tend to be headstrong and deliberate in your actions. Basically you don't give a fukk about anyone. Most people hate you but you couldn't care less. You're the type of person who would masturbate at a wedding.

TAURUS
Warm and caring are your most endearing characteristics. You get on well with most people because you're bisexual. You hardly ever wear underwear and you constantly smell of p1ss.

GEMINI
Your star sign denotes an air of duality in your character. Simply, you're a neurotic schizophrenic. A real fukking weirdo, the type of person who'd kill them self to win a bet.

CANCER
You have a businesslike attitude to life and a knack for making money. You're an unscrupulous bastard who would sell relative's limbs to buy a mobile phone. You are likely to be murdered.

LEO
The adventurous type, always looking for thrills and willing to try anything. In other words, stupid. You have the IQ of a garden snail and will never amount to anything. Most Leos are living on the welfare.

VIRGO
You like the good things in life and you know how to enjoy them. But you're prone to bullsh1tting and you're a cheap bastard. Virgo men are usually queers and the majority of Virgo women are whores.

LIBRA
You are the forgiving type and you don't bear grudges. This makes you an asshole. For your entire life people will make a complete prick out of you. Nobody will go to your funeral.

SCORPIO
You are sharp, a quick thinker and good at puzzles. However these are your only good traits. You screw small animals and love picking your nose. You should become a stunt performer with no helmet.

SAGITTARIUS
You are gorgeous and divine and everybody wants to be like you. However other jealous signs will say that you are the romantic mushy type, soft-hearted and a lover of the arts. You are likely to import Dutch pornography and sex toys. Men even willing to rent Sleepless In Seattle to increase your odds for a romp in the sack.

CAPRICORN
You are deep and personal in your thoughts, the quiet type. A mean self-centered cvnt and a closet homosexual. Your best friend is probably an altar boy.

AQUARIUS
You are the academic type and will probably end up working in the legal system. This means you are an absolute pervert, at the least a transvestite. Your ideal sexual partner is a Labrador puppy wearing fishnet tights.

PISCES
You are the eternal optimist, seeing the best of any situation. You have no grasp of reality and live in a dream world. Most people consider you to be the greatest living moron. You will continually fail. You're a prick.

Star signs or sun signs?

Have you ever had a proper chart done or are you just going off the generic crap which gets published?

DarkJager · 11-01-2011 01:43AM

I really can't decide on this topic. At the moment i keep getting emails from jenna "the astrologer". She keeps telling me about these great periods of my life which are coming, that she can supposedly see with a fragment of the moon she has - i call bull**** on this. However at the same time, she does frequently make very pinpoint and scarily accurate observations about my life and past experiences. Jury is out on this one for me.

Ya sun signs too, anything to do with astrology/star signs not just whats being published in the papers/mags etc I researched it a lot online. Done charts and stuff like that too. I've never been to a fortune teller/psychic/astrologist face to face though except dealing with those online.

As long as we control the tidy ,not the tidy control us

My take on astrology is that no one of us is 100% any one sign , we all carry some of the traits associated with other signs and some people are born on the cusp inbetween two signs . I apparently have many traits associated with Virgo but you could if you wish , drive yourself up the fooking wall paying to much attention to it all :pac:

Rumbled

VIRGO

Could depend on what date you were born on. Sometimes those born from the 19th onwards to the latter part of that particular starsign can inherit traits from starsigns in between those dates and not just the starsign dictated for those dates.
