Do you believe in fortune tellers?

[Rastov]

Have you ever turned to a fortune teller for something?
Do you believe in them?

[mgint]

no I think they are all fakes and you shouldn't waste money on them

I suppose their are some practicers that truelly are aware of what they are doing.
But I would not pay anyone. When I was pregnant with my second child, it was way to early for the doctors to tell the sex so I turned to a reader. Mystic Forest is the actual store I went to. He broke out what looked like a necklace with a huge beautiful stone on the end. I asked the necklace, as that was what I was suppost to do. And low and behold it was wrong. Well I went back to Mystic Forest after I had my baby girl and I told them that their reading on me was wrong, he told me its not 100% accurate!

[gesus]

[Trustin33]

Yes, i believe people can have fLaSheS of the future ! , i have before : 
it's weird!

I believe there are people out there that are psychic but I don't think they are the ones who advertise it in a window with a crystal ball.  I look at them as more or less for entertainment.  People who have a real gift probably wouldn't charge to do it. 

[mgarmstrong]

I think it is possible.  However, I do not feel that you will find a real one in the yellow pages.

The future would have to be determined for any legitimate fortune teller/psychic to exist.  If you believe there are legitimate psychics out there, you believe the future is determined...in which case, it makes no difference if you know the future or not, as you can do nothing to change it.

That's not the same thing at all.  You cannot tell your future; you can make educated guesses based on your past experiences, you can deduce what is going to happen to you tomorrow assuming things go as normal...but you can't predict the future.

[hwilliams591]

LOL...they are fakes. It is sad that some use them for actual advice instead of entertainment.

Not really. You could just be very, very good at predicting the future.
Set in stone would only be required for absolute %100 accuracy.

I believe some of them can..and some of them are just fakes claiming that they are fortune tellers...

But that is what a psychic or fortune teller claims to be, 100% accurate.  What is the point in calling yourself a psychic if you can be wrong about the future?  You're just a normal person if you can be wrong about your predictions.  Every person can make predictions about what will happen to them tomorrow.

But let's get to the point: Psychics don't exist.  And if they did, their abilities would be useless.  In order for someone to be considered a psychic, their predictions have to be 100% true, all the time.  If that is the case, then any future event they predict cannot be changed; if the event they predict can be changed, that means their prediction has room for being incorrect, and you can't be psychic if your predictions have room for error (you're just an average person making guesses at that point).  So knowing the future would be of no value to anyone.  You can't change it, you can't avoid it, you can't do anything about it.  It is already determined and nothing you say or do can change that.
