Heres my position.

There is a 1 million dollar prize to ANYBODY in the world who can prove under a controlled scientific test that they have supernatural powers. The prize has been there for YEARS. Thousands of people have tried to win this but they have all failed. Why? Because Psychics are Frauds. All they do is get the proper statistics for a given scenario and sometimes they're right. Not because they have some godly power, but because statistics say its most likely like that. Like a common statistic would be "The man who kidnapped your daughter is a black male, mid 20's, about 6 feet, drives a black honda civic, scruffy looking, and was wearing jeans and a black t shirt with a windbreaker jacket over it, he was wearing nike shoes." Thats just statistics. I just made that up.

Which brings me to another point. I've heard a 7 year old say "Black people are bad" and i was shocked and i said "Why do you say that?" and he said "Because they're always on the news getting arrested and doing bad things" this was AMAZING for me to hear come out of his mouth. The Media has filtered this image out to the public that Black people are criminals. Black people are to be feared. The way i see it, is from a Freud point of view. Something that happened in childhood. Kids that are beaten as a form of punishment are more likely to resort to revenge, violence, and using pain as a punishment later on in life. Fact. Sorry if i got off topic but back to the main point. I think all these psychics, if they were real...they could easily prove it. But they wont, why? Because they are frauds. 700 dollars for a 20 minute over the phone reading. Thats what Silvia Browne charges.

Tell him to go to India.

^yup and theres some other few spots too

retarded thread

Orbit your boy david Blaine is known to use that psychic gimick to pull bitches.
Apperently he's hella good at it.

This Threads A Joke Jus Like The Thread Starter

You should read the terms of that challenge.

Randi v. Brown? Poodle-grade media stunt, meaningless noise. It's like Kid Rock v. Geraldo Riviera having a debate about anarchism.

I've read quite a few stories about yogis from India. It's not a big thing there.

Penn and Teller: Bullshit ep- psychics.

read how they do it.

smh, newbie

and you're gonna be a magician.

Any of us can become "psychics".

Yup, its that evil White-Peoples media picking on the poor, held down brothers.

http://randi.org/research/challenge.html
yeah, i read it.


and Blaine has NEVER claimed that he has supernatural powers, he clearly states that he's a performer, and that he entertains. Uri Gellar is on the other side of magic...he used to bend spoons and tell people that he did it with his mind rather than saying its a trick. People swallowed this. Just like they swallow Silvia's.


i'm not here to beef...just wanted to see what you guys believed and why. Its just a debate.

There's already a thread about this bullshit in CZ.

^Well, now theres one in Off-topic.

^SMH

^Banned

No. All frauds.

^ doubt that

Prove it then. Show one who is real.

boring options by a boring dude.

I'm one

and a few guys from my clique are psychics also

*grabs crystal ball from the safe*

Alright who wants a free reading

Wombat would you like a free reading?

One:
Statistics don't lie - Black people have the highest crime rate in the U.S. So why you are so shocked someone would say they are bad is retarded. This isn't being racist, it's a simple fact - they have the highest crime rate. The media doesn't filter it out that way, they are reporting what is clearly evident.

Two:
Freud was an idiot.

Three:
If a child was raised in a controlled enviroment without bullshit morals and religion, he would also use pain, revenge, violence, and any means necessary to accomplish his goals in accordance with his will.

^ Get him Turk

^^^

Theres nothing to get, hes 100% correct.

Samething as saying most Drug-Lords are South American, its a statistical fact, so if a Kid were to say " Columbians sell a lot of cocaine " based on what he saw in the news/pop culture, he wouldnt be repeating what " The EVIL Media " is trying to portray, hed be telling the trizzuth.

Take the PC goggles off.

^ what's that have to do with Turk calling him a crakkker

psychics??

nah.


potentially maybe but in reality no, never.

One:
True. But TV shows Blacks do 99% of all crimes. When they probably do 35-40%, i don't know the exact number. They are taking this true statistic and giving it more publicity than it needs.

Two:
Regardless of what you think of Freud. He started Psychology as a Science Field. He started it all. Yes i don't believe half the shit he said because he wasn't all there sometimes. Like the interpretation of dreams, when in fact dreams are just random codes of thought...no meaning or explanation required there.

Three:
So you're saying...people without being raised with religion...and raised without morals. I'd like to think the MAJORITY of humans know about their morals...they know its not right to walk up to somebody and take a Shotgun to the back of somebody's head. I'm confused with your meaning of "Controlled" and "Bullshit Morals" this sounds like a personal point of view rather than something with evidence among the rest of society.

For a group that makes up 22% of the population, committing almost 50% of all violent crimes is pretty fucking deep.

And NO, the Media doesnt twist anything, if anything, theres been cases in which theyve been suppressed Black-Crimes as a way to try to clean up the black communitys image, the Media is PRO-MINORITY, I dont understand how so many of you guys dont fucking see that point.

Case in Point, ANYTHING involving the slightest degree of RASSISM is super-exposed to the masses, Micheal Richards, a third rate actor from a dead sitcom uttered the holy word and the media went apeshit. Jesse Jackson and his race baiting bullshit is allowed on every kind of format, and WHITE media personel hail Jackson and the other oppurtunist Sharpton as saints.

Get real man, the Medias been pro-race relations and pro-diversity for some thirty odd years, every form of Media today has a pro-diversity agenda, to say they are racist is insane.

The PROBLEM with the Black Community from 1979-2007 has been THE BLACK COMMUNITY, Black-on-Black crime is skyrocketing, it started with the Gangs out in LA in the late-eighties through mid nineties, and in New Orleans, and in Philly, and in Houston, and in LA and so on.

One:
No, they don't. Mullet pointed this out. For instance, look at Law&Order, I think I've watched the show about 500 times, and one time the criminal was black.

Two:
I don't care if he founded it or not. He was a moron and practically everything he taught has been disproved.

Three:
You aren't born with morals dummy, you're taught them.

And I NEVER said that he did.

I said he said he does it to pull bitches.

Orbit is so misguided he seems like he'd be hard to talk to.
I'm glad he stays out of CZ.

lol

Only to the naive.
