Do you believe in the psychics?

7sr2z3fely84g5 · 26-05-2011 11:29PM #1

I know many who swear by these,im bit of sceptic,i think it's just down to luck and half confirmation of answers by those who go to see them,usually hear stories of a birth or death being accurately predicted

Any personal stories?

I do believe some people have psychic powers, as for your avarage psychic Sally, not a chance

Gran Hermano · 26-05-2011 11:33PM

How many times have you read in the media "Psychic wins Lottery"?

DrHLecter · 26-05-2011 11:34PM

do you mean the 'telling the future' type psychics or the 'tell what youre thinking type read your mind type' ?

dr.bollocko · 26-05-2011 11:34PM

I'd trust them like I'd trust a homeopathic accident and emergency ward.

To expand further: They're all charlatans, cons and BS artists wishing to separate people from their money.

Science be praised.

I almost had a Psychic girlfriend once, but she left me before we even met.

You may possibly have a happy or sad event in your life somewhere in the very vague future. You may meet new people and may foster new friendships.

Fools and their money part easily.

Wtf!

Physics is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through spacetime, as well as all related concepts, including energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.

How can you not believe in it

Stained Class · 26-05-2011 11:44PM

I don't believe in them.

After all, if there was just one of them in the world worth a crap, then Maddie would be found, dead or alive.

Hasn't happened though. Has it?:rolleyes:

But....to know that, you'd have to be psychic yourself....ooohhhh starbelgrade is one of them....

All ****e.

love the way you made it sound like the toothfairy/santa claus/easter bunny question when we were kids

Kinky Slinky · 26-05-2011 11:48PM

I believe in Psychic-type Pokémon

Deus Ex Machina · 26-05-2011 11:48PM

If any psychic powers existed they would be sufficiently advantageous from a natural selection stand point to have gene or genes which codes for them propagated throughout the population. Instead, just a tiny percentage of people claim (although don't prove) that they have psychic powers. This alone is enough to make me 99.9999999999% certain they don't exist.

bnt · 27-05-2011 12:05AM

No; a more interesting question is whether or nor the psychics believe in me ... :cool:

To be fair there are also the ones that genuinely believe they can do it. The ones that have conned themselves. You know...

The day that a psychic wins the lotto for the third week in a row is when I'll believe them.

DrHLecter · 27-05-2011 12:23AM

would people on here be think me quite the mmm.. buffon if i said that although generally skeptical and previously having the 'what a crock of ****' opinion that i believe a very few choice people have developed what can be described as psychic abilities through deep meditation.

TeddyTedson · 27-05-2011 12:24AM

Believe in them.:eek: I'm met them buddy. Psycho chicks are everywhere, and are very clever, they can act normal for months before revealing their true from. Be warned young friend.

noxqs · 27-05-2011 12:30AM

As long as there's uneducated people around - someone will believe in homeopathy, psychics, crystal healing, chakra, horoscopes, astrology etc.

And the funniest thing about these people is, that they are convinced that its just the rest of the world which has it all wrong or we lack the special 'spiritual attunement' to see it.

Pure, unadulterated, bull****.

But just like various scams there's always someone willing to fall for it.

The burden of proof is on them. Science is currently standing triumphant on a mountain of data, facts, and long standing theories which has given us real technology and advancement. What has people believing in the paranormal contributed? Ever?

Da Shins Kelly · 27-05-2011 12:35AM

Nope. I'm sure there are 'psychics' who genuinely believe they have a gift, they've fooled themselves into believing it. However, I think most of them are simply skilled manipulators who feed off the vulnerable. They're just pretty clever people who are good at reading body language etc., but they're definitely not psychic.

omen80 · 27-05-2011 12:35AM

Psychics are assholes who take money from vulnerable people who are looking for answers or have lost someone in their lives. I loathe them, no one has psychic powers.

Do you believe in the psychics?
