So i just found out my friend is psychic

[LinkandKvel]

All happened last night/this morning when we learned someone we knew was missing. He thought about it then informed me that he could do "something" but i couldn't tell any1. Being the curious person I am I naturally asked what is it?
He then explained to me the abilities and card tricks he did and tricks using die. However he has told me it's been a curse to him because it hasn't been performed in awhile and is dangerous to the person doing the sensing, which is himself, and the person being sensed. So he concentrates on these tricks he does and ask a question, and if it's a certain card, or a certain die number it's a yes, no, or maybe. Also in the card trick if he turned over a king or queen it would define whether he would get hurt (King) or whether the person being searched for (Queen).
He ended up pulling a queen. and performed this meditation of sort. Now since he hasn't performed this meditation in so long he was told it might kill him. He did it anyway. He concentrated on the person's face, voice, everything and being the cautious person i am also woke him up but he didn't fully finish. He sensed she was mad and thats as far as he got. Several minutes later, he calls back to see if she was found. She was beaten by her father after an argument and ran away.
I was totally creeped out so he told me to relax and get some rest, so I did.
The next morning I call him and remembers nothing at all about the night, most likely the result of knocking him out of his trance of sensing too early. Now after that it has been a truly life changing experience. I seriously don't know what to believe in anymore.
He's have been confronted by somewhat of a mentor of his abilities. She says he should embrace his abilities, but he claims it has been nothing but a curse. whenever he does this meditation he has headaches and can't sleep for days which nearly killed him but thats another story. So my question is should he embrace it and take the risk of death, and possibly gain full control over it, or should he leave it alone and avoid it. After all it did kill his grandmother right before he was born. This has been a real life changing experience for me.

[Bodzilla]

sounds like a hole load of psycocks to me.

sorry but i dont believe in this.

...because my mom got scared, and said "You're movin' in with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air". I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said fresh and had dice in the mirror. If anything i could say that this cab was rare, but i thought nah, forget it, yo home to bel-air!ftfy

[Mass]

what? lmao. If its killing him he should stop. unless he uses it to save peoples lives.

[LinkandKvel]

what? lmao. If its killing him he should stop. unless he uses it to save peoples lives.

Thats the thing. He doesn't want the chance of that happening. Risking his life for the chance to save others.

[Bad Waffle]

So, he said "you cant tell anybody".

And instantly you thought to yourself, "I AM SO POSTING THIS ON THE INTERNET!!!"

I knew someone would bring that up. He just didn't want anyone to know specifically who, not what. You guys would never know him anyways unless you live in Toledo, Ohio.

[rossmum]

Hey I'm psychic too. I predict that the vast majority of people on this forum who proceed to post here won't believe a word of that.

[LinkandKvel]

Well Believe what you want you guys but I am not gonna sit here and write this big ass story if it was all a lie. I'm just telling What I saw from my point of view because he was over my house when all this went down, and most likely theres nothing I can do to make you guys believe it. I use to be like you guys honestly but believed it at least partially. When this shit happens in front of you and they start jerking and shit like that it's scary. It's my bestfriend and just scared me because i'm completely sure this shit wasn't planned out. I'm still creeped out of how accurate he was. It's a very small chance it was a coincidence, but like I stated, I can't make you guys believe anything.

[n00b1n8R]

wow ross, your psychic too?

Whats he so worried about? If he dies, he'll just be reborn...

[n00b1n8R]

if you dissapeared for a few hours, you'd be pissed off too.

[Patrickssj6]

To simple, sorry...

A more gripping and innovative story next time then yes, I may believe it.

[legionaire45]

Needs moar someone getting pregnant.

And I say yes, he should master his kitten huffing skills. So he can become a super-saiyan and impregnate the earth with mana. Also he should learn to levitate like David Blane.

[DaneO'Roo]

You know, if someone ran away, chances are fairly great that the person is "hurt".

Need specifics, ok.

Sounds like he's trying do that John Edwards shit. As in, makes the audience give him his responses. If your friend something like, knew the exact whereabouts of her, and what she looked like, or something, than that is worth questioning.

[n00b1n8R]

Some people believe other people are psychic, Some people also believe that the bible is correct when it says the earth is only 4000 years old.

I personally believe both groups are narcassistic dumbass's. :downs:

[Veegie]

I do hope you're not directing that at me Emmzee, I mostly hear that bullshit from the Christian Bible Club that rants at my school.

Young Earth creationism is a religious doctrine that teaches that the Earth and life on Earth were created by a direct action of God relatively recently (about 6,000-10,000 years ago). It is held by those Christians who believe that the Hebrew text of Genesis can only mean a literal account of Earth's creation in six 24-hour days, that evidence for a strict interpretation of scripture as historical fact is present in the world today, and that scientific evidence supporting Darwinian evolution, geological uniformitarianism - or any other theory at odds with a literal interpretation of the Genesis creation account - is either flawed or misinterpreted.:smith:

[TeeKup]

Thank you very much Veegie. I call it bullshit because its vastly incorrect (as that quote says), like so many other things in the Bible.

[Agamemnon]

Believes the Bible? In what, exactly? Principle teaching, believing it hasn't been tampered with? Be specific.

[TeeKup]

Right, thats a rather flawed and vague question, I'll withdraw it.

[Dr Nick]

If that's true, you're a terrible friend, telling everyone on the internet about it!

And since I doubt it is true, stop lying.

Ok, enough of that bible shit, If the bible was really true, and Noah really had 2 of every animal, why on earth did his lions, gorillas, rhinos, leopards, and grizzly bears NOT get bitten and killed by his scorpions, cobras, red belly black snakes, brown snakes, death adders, and various types of spiders?

And where the fuck did all the rodents hide from all the rodent eating birds?


K, we all know should know by now that Jesus was really a traveling magician/performer/gypsy on a primitive form of acid, and people were stupid enough to believe him.

If they were dumb enough to believe the world was flat, they're dumb enough to believe that there is a heaven.

I'd much rather believe that when we die, our bodily energy disperses into the surrounding environment, continuing the life cycle. Kinda like the force, except less nerdy.

You forgot the biggest argument against the Noah...I'm ashamed of you.

Adam and Eve...2 of each animal...they get children and they? They can't, it's biological impossible because of incest. ;)

[Agamemnon]

People taking the Bible literally < People actually seeing the teachings behind the exaggerated stories

But what do I know. You guys were there, weren't you?

[rossmum]

Adam and Eve...2 of each animal...they get children and they? They can't, it's biological impossible because of incest. ;)
Incest only affects some animals, plus humans... and after a while, it'd be bred out.

Either way, it's called faith for a reason. This is a debate about psychic powers or lack thereof, not Christianity.

[Patrickssj6]

Incest only affects some animals, plus humans... and after a while, it'd be bred out.
Yeah after a while...after countless of retarded animals that aren't even able to produce any children.

It's impossible. ;)

[LinkandKvel]

If that's true, you're a terrible friend, telling everyone on the internet about it!

And since I doubt it is true, stop lying.
Oh Really? I'm a terrible friend because i'm debating should he embrace his power or not, and since u doubt it and shit and wasn't there to witness it yourself therefore makes me a liar. You know what fuck off if you don't believe me for what I saw and heard from my perception! I fucking hate people who assumes shit without any proof against it!!!


This thread is bullshit based on a lie that is also bullshit.
And your telling me I'M lying too. Okay so I guess automatically what you guys believe in are true because thats the way you guys are acting. Immature people who thinks it's all a lie just because THEY don't believe it or witnessed it. Thank you. I realized how people are in the world only assuming there own bullshit beliefs to be true. Be a bigger person than that and actually look into all beliefs rather than shooting down other religions.

[Bastinka]

It's like those southerners that claimed they saw aliens or got abducted by them. Also, theres not really any proof to begin with!

[Dr Nick]

You give me proof that he is psychic and I'll apologize.

[Agamemnon]

You give me proof that he is psychic and I'll apologize.
And how exactly is he going to do that?

[Dr Nick]

That's the point. There's no way to prove someone's a psychic.

There is a way to prove that he's not a psychic, but it's a waste of time.

[Agamemnon]

So why dismiss it without a thought?

[Dr Nick]

He rolled die to see whether or not the person would be found. Yes, no, and maybe. For some reason I have a feeling the lower numbers were no, middle numbers were maybe and high numbers were yes.

Then he picked up cards to see if someone would get hurt.

Until I see proof that this is works, I'll remain in disbelief.

Also, I did not dismiss it without a thought.

Also again, I'm tired of arguing with you. You assume things too much

[Bastinka]

So why dismiss it without a thought?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychic

[Dr Nick]

Psychic (sī'kĭk) refers in part to the human mind (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind) or psyche (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psyche_&#37;28psychology%29) (ex. "psychic turmoil"). In popular usage the term psychic usually denotes paranormal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranormal) forces and influences, or abilities such as psychokinesis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychokinesis) and extra-sensory perception (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra-sensory_perception). People said to be sensitive to, or able to use, these paranormal forces are called psychics. The term also refers to stage magicians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stage_magicians), mentalists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentalists), and charlatans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlatans) who perform psychic-like illusions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjuring) without paranormal abilities.
The key word being illusion.

[TeeKup]

Thats wikipedia, thats not exactly a reliable resource of information.

[Bastinka]

Wikipedia is basically the knowledge of the people, unlike a real encyclopedia its made by basically all people.

They're both biased. The main difference though is that one is published and researched by professionals, while the other is done by children who think they are professionals.

[Dr Nick]

Ooh, another assumption. You're terrible at it.

[Agamemnon]

What's wrong DrNick, you don't like your own tactics of arguing thrown back at you?

[Dr Nick]

Not at all.

I already said I was done at arguing with you.

I'm just having a little fun.

[Agamemnon]

Nice try at saving face.

"Hey, I don't want to argue with you, but let me continue it. Oh, he called me out for what I am. Let me change the subject quickly before I have to explain myself."

:gonk:

[Kornman00]

Just because your friend is a gay, doesn't mean its the end of the world :|

What's wrong? Did I strike a cord with someone who was just "playing around?" Are you going to throw an e-tantrum now?

[Dr Nick]

No, but you seem to be making this more about me, and less about the topic.

I think I'm gonna go play some videogame now. Arguing with someone who's probably twice my age about a fight that I didn't really want to happen seems to have tired me out.

Byebye everyone.

[Bastinka]

Hypocrite much?

You don't always have to post what you're going to do next... Also, why do you even think about responding if it's gonna throw it off-topic and you state it will be going off-topic, making you look like a buffoon.

Anyway, theres still no proof that your friend is a psychic. :eyesroll:

[Dole]

I personally believe both groups are narcassistic dumbass's. :downs:
I would love to know what your definition of narcissism is, in that case.


I call it bullshit because its vastly incorrect (as that quote says), like so many other things in the Bible.
And would you be able to lay out before us all of these "vastly incorrect things in the Bible" that you so confidently set your solace in, or does dismissing and attempting to discredit its values help you to feel more comfortable with your current state of affairs?

Also, what Agamemnon said.


Yeah after a while...after countless of retarded animals that aren't even able to produce any children.

It's impossible. ;)
Also, what Agamemnon said.


Thats wikipedia, thats not exactly a reliable resource of information.
And this is... maybe two posts after openly endorsing a corroborative Wikipedia quote from Veegie?

Why is it Wikipedia is accepted as the definitive and ultimate authority in all matters of valid information for fueling angered, disgruntled arguing except when a person is on the offensive?


Ooh, another assumption.
How, pray tell, did that become an assumption?


I already said I was done at arguing with you.
Why don't you just overtly yell out "I'M GIVING UP, K?" instead of burdening us further with your semi-cryptic proclamation of "being the bigger man."
Have some heart, for fuck's sake.

[Dr Nick]

I just don't like arguing with agamemnon. He is rude and disrespectful more than most people I know.

Also, the "children who think they're professionals" part was an assumption.

There are countless actual experts confirming disputed facts on the site, and some have the power to lock a topic (see the article on The Earth). You wouldn't believe how factual a lot of the information on Wikipedia can be.

[rossmum]

...And how fictional some of it can also be. It's like a lucky dip of sorts.

I'm wondering why this shitfest of a thread wasn't locked pages ago, when it became apparent that it was heading in entirely the wrong direction.

[n00b1n8R]

because the admins like to play pranks.
*looks at thread name*

[rossmum]

Oh, I have a fair idea of who did that...

[Agamemnon]

Ever read Wired, aggy? There are countless actual experts confirming disputed facts on the site, and some have the power to lock a topic (see the article on The Earth). You wouldn't believe how factual a lot of the information on Wikipedia can be.
It all depends on the article. Many of the subjects on various fields of study are accurate because actual professionals of the fields are writing the articles and linking the sources to their own work sometimes. The problem with even that is that it's still going to be biased. But don't even get me started on the controversial pages, where the page has a header labeled, "This article is filled with weasel words/This article's neutrality is disputed." The truth of the matter is that unless it's not something factual like mathematics, then that header needs to be on every page.

The problem extends more as to how more and more people run to it for credible information to fall on, yet a good majoritity of the points in an article aren't cited, and will usually have a [citation needed] bar next to it. Seriously, if you ever try to write a college paper and cite your sources as Wikipedia, you'll fail instantly. My brother's friend did that on a paper about psychotherapy, and despite how the psychotherapy article is actually written by professionals, the professor flunked him immediately because it's universally recognized as an unaccredited site because it CAN be edited by ANYONE.
