To think psychics are all fakes?

I don't like that they take peoples money when they are in a vulnerable place, lost loved ones etc. It's immoral. Just my opinion.

Thoughts? Opinions?

do i think all psychics are fake - no

do i think many pretend to be and exploit vulnerable people - yes

and then i just think there are people who are able to read signals and pick up on feelings/are more in tune than most are some may call themselves psychic

Baldrick your responses to Hettie are becoming more and more personal. This is typical of those that have lost an argument but cannot accept it. Instead of accusing her of nastiness, why not challenge us with facts? We are here for a logical debate after all and, if you do believe she has a shocking attitude, why not try to defeat her with logic?

HettiePetal · 11/12/2013 19:49

Yes - my ego is such that that would bother me far more than being called "nasty", Baldrick.

Show me where I'm wrong - and even if I won't accept it, my fellow sceptics will see it and clue me in.

BaldricksTurnip · 11/12/2013 19:49

ItsOkay- I don't want to debate with somebody who has degenerated into name calling. I'm leaving the thread now it's just a waste of energy.

HettiePetal · 11/12/2013 19:51

Don't blame you.

curlew · 11/12/2013 19:52

"Back- yes obviously but there is no need for nastiness and name calling is there? I love a debate, but do not appreciate somebody being viscous and bullying when people do not agree with them. Everybody has the right to express their opinion."

I never comment on people!'so spelling- but I do think in the context of this thread the prospect of somebody suddenly becoming "viscous" is quite funny.

Red Where are you? I want to hear Favourites tarot reading.

FlatAsSantasSacks · 11/12/2013 19:58

I do believe there are some right charlatans around that prey on the vulnerable, but I also believe that there are some people who are gifted with some things and I've had first hand experience of this quite recently. I won't share what I have been through because its too personal but I've become more spiritual because of it and had my eyes opened. If anyone wants to hear my story feel free to PM me.

As with the woo threads recently there will always be sceptic but I'd say never say never as I was one of those until recently.

ItsOkayItsJustMyBreath · 11/12/2013 20:02

I'm freaking out a bit, my last comment in reply to curlew saying

You are surrounded by people who value designer labels and status

You are deeper and more intelligent than them

Why are you getting sucked in to overspending when all you need is an armchair and a book and peace and quiet?

HettiePetal · 11/12/2013 20:07

I saw that too!

Weird stuff is definitely afoot. On another thread, several posts all turned italic.

ItsOkayItsJustMyBreath · 11/12/2013 20:08

Oooh, I saw that too! I wondered how to do it and if it were some speshul trick but now I'm thinking it's definitely green aliens.

ItsOkayItsJustMyBreath · 11/12/2013 20:09

redruby I bet that you have a 'hit' with that one!

HettiePetal · 11/12/2013 20:10

Red

Ha! I love it.

I bet we're all thinking - well, that could be about me, actually!

redrubyindigo · 11/12/2013 20:11

ItsOkay

Don't look back and remember the bad bits. You were young.

Now you have power over that person/place/situation

You have cut the ties and risen above it. Your mind and will was stronger than theirs. They know that now.

ItsOkayItsJustMyBreath · 11/12/2013 20:13

Red that is uncanny. It is ALL true I tell ya, no, really, it is! You obviously have the gift now quick, call James Randi and collect your $1000000 at once!

YouAreMyFavouriteWasteOfTime · 11/12/2013 20:14

red - but how do you know that? I mean I haven't told you! you do have powers Wink

ItsOkayItsJustMyBreath · 11/12/2013 20:15
