Do you believe in fortune tellers?

[gingerluck3]

Sorry you feel that way and btw your wrong. I know a lot about psychiatry and don't think you do so I will let you in on something, People who have emotional issues can sometimes have psychic abilities and be able to know future events. It's something called being very sensitive - My take humans only use 10% of their brains and not everyone does and most use less.

You don't think Psychics have the ability to tap into parts of their brain so called "normal" people can't?

Think about aliens - more advanced, more gifted - I WONDER WHY!!!!!!!!!!

Right on point. A certain part of your brain (I wish I could recall which part!) becomes more developed than "more stable" or non-traumatized persons. This makes you more receptive to situations and their possible outcomes, getting a sort of "sense" for what might come to pass.

Now, of course there are always people out there looking to take advantage, but they're just a-holes. Some people genuinely have a knack for being able to at least have a good idea of what can/will happen.

No, I don't either

Psychics and fortune tellers are for entertainment purposes ONLY! If you think you are a psychic or fortune teller you are a loon and full of !

You can't say "you're wrong I know a lot about this subject" and then go on to prove absolutely nothing about your stance.  PROVE IT.  Prove it.  Prove it.  Will you prove it?  

Do you know how many studies have been done on the subject of psychics, clairvoyance, etc.?  Do you know how many of those have yielded any conclusive, positive evidence?  None of them.  So please, share with us your proof (I already asked for it once, this is the second time).  

If you can't prove that you have some extra ability to see into the future more than the average person, then please stop telling people they're wrong when they call you deluded or loony.  The burden of proof is on those who claim to have this extrasensory ability.  If they can't, then they are justifiably called deluded.

The "only use 10% of the brain" is a myth that was debunked quite some time ago by neurologists.  The idea that we only use 10% of our brain is laughable at best.  Kind of amazed that people still throw that figure around like it has merit.  We may be only using 10% of our brain when we're at rest or not doing anything requiring more use, but the majority of the time, our brain is being heavily used.  It's also true that not every part of the brain is in constant use, but neurologists and the evidence at hand shows throughout the average day 100% of the brain is used for various tasks. 

Another clarification is that only 10% of the cells in our brain are neurons.  The rest are known as glial cells and support neurons.  We know A LOT about neurons and how they work, but the functions of glial cells are largely unknown.  You could say we only know about 10% of how our brain works, but it's plainly false to say we only use 10% of our brain.  Simple medical tests prove that completely false.

So no, I don't believe some people have this crazy, extrasensory ability to tap into other parts of the brain to see into the future.  The average person uses their entire brain throughout the average day...why would you be any different?  And if you are, please prove it.

Please don't reference aliens as proof of your claim.  Do you think about your posts before you write them?  You're using something that nobody even knows exists (much less knows a single thing about) as evidence to support your psychic abilities.  Do you not see an obvious problem with that?  Use your psychic abilities to see my replies so that you don't make nonsensical statements in your posts -.-

I get the feeling you know very little about anything. From what I know psychiatry means "the practice or science of diagnosing and treating mental disorders." I wont argue that you might know something about that, you sound like you visit one at least once a week.  But I don't see anything that corresponds with psychics!  People with emotional issues might think they are psychic, because they have some sort of in-balance going.
Besides I'm sure someone that was psychic would not be living on food stamps and doing surveys online!

Congratulations on getting defensive because someone has a different viewpoint than you. Way to make it personal and petty, rather than trying to have a mature conversation about something.

I guess I got the wrong impression of this community at first.

[starcharm24]

no, i think that they are silly and i can not believe that some people actually pay money for these things 

[iamkiener]

You know I believe there are some special people out there that just know things. But I don't know honestly what to think about that stuff. I'm a christain so when it comes to stuff like that I just leave it alone.

Different viewpoints are one thing but trying to back-up those outlandish viewpoints with complete bs that makes no sense at all and to bring up silly comments with aliens it is really hard to have a mature conversation.

I'm not sure if I believe in the traditional "fortune teller", but I do think some people can have physic magnetism. And, quite honestly, if people want to believe and it makes them happy, I say more power to them. As long as they are careful try not to get taken advantage of, then I don't see the harm in believing.

If they are so physic why haven't all of them hit the lottery?

[arms1977]

I think it is entirely possible for a person to have psychic abilities, but I fell that most, if not all, of the ones who advertise being psychic are frauds. My friends and I have gone to "psychics" in the past, just out of curiosity or for fun. Needless to say, none of us did anything differently in our lives because of warnings or suggestions by any of the psychics. One actually suggested that one of my friends would die, gave us the date and everything. It turned out to be nothing, but that "psychic" should be ashamed of herself. I think she was trying to scare all of us into coming back for more readings. Her business mysteriously disappeared one night....she should have seen that coming. I have always thought that the truly gifted wait in silence, helping those who truly need help, while remaining anonymous. I have to admit that the ones who claim to have the abilities are smart....they make a lot of money from people who believe in them.

is this the single determining factor?

No, but that by no means makes it an illegitimate question.

I'm a skeptic.  I will believe it when I see and so far I haven't seen anything but fakes trying to gain attention and money.
