Randi's forum is the best on the net IMHO, try and debate anything on there and be prepared to get smoked by some REAL intelligent people.

I love shit like this.

It's real life ownings and exposing that sev dishes out on here every other week.
I have a buddy that goes to a psychic once a year and claims how great they are...etc. About $180/hour.
I told him to look up cold reading....he won't because the experience he gets is "too real".

I've come to the conclusion that it's useless to convince people of real facts because the vast majority of people act on emotion rather than cold hard facts. They won't even listen to the whole argument and provide a coherent rebuttal.

Watch some of James Randi's other vids...the one with Larry King live. He puts up a million bucks to ANY psychic to prove that the shit they preach is real. He doesn't claim it's b.s. in the challenge. He just wants proof. ...seems rational right? ...but nobody in 7 years has taken the money yet hahahaha.

Randi is great. He's been debunking shysters for decades, now. Guy recently even came out of the closet. Couldn't even fool himself.  ;D

Its common knowledge that physcics are demon possesed deranged lunatics.
I wouldn't put it that way. There is evidence that if you "sensitive" or have 2nd sight, that the good can communicate with you and the bad as well...it's the bad that fucks with people.
Astral beings--ghosts, demons, spirits, angels, vampires...

And young kids are more apt to see shit than us, they are more sensitive and haven't had the conditioning an adult has, had some people in my family like that. Also, as it's been said, the more we focus on some our senses, the more we lose of others.

Stop with your nonsense quackery. ("its been said")  No it has NOT been demonstrated, you are merely believing in hocus pocus without evidence.  Hope this helps.

My cousin when she was very young would say, Especially when all the family was there, "Grandma says hi", thing is, Her Grandma died before she was born. People would at her, and say "what?"
Well, she would point over to the place where she was. This has happened on a number of occassions. She since has grown out of it.

A coworker of mine has a dog that barks and wags his tail in the middle of the night and goes and stares at  a chair her dead husband used. He sometimes will stare like he is looking at something. He then will bark incessantly. Also a salesman came to the door one day, and he look above her and his eyes got big and turned white and walked away really, really fast. He never said what he saw  That is proof enough to me.

Let's face it, there are "forces" at work that we can't explain, yet science is breaking down the barriers. For
instance, I firmly believe that there are different dimension within ours. Those entities that we describe as spirits are part of that. After all, where does out spirit go? A spirit is energy, and energy never dissipates. Our energy never dies out, but goes somewhere, correct?

Also, explain Edgar Casey and his 14,000 readings. Explain how he said in 1996-98, that there would be a compartment discovered under one of the paws of the Sphnix and here would be a Hall of Records, and what was found under that paw at that time? Explain how he said that parts of Atlantis is 1968 would be found near the Bahamas and it was a road of some sort, and in the late 60s, a "J" shape formation was found in the waters near the Bahamas--people claimed it wax a rock formation, but it doesn't look like it.

I do believe that most physics are just con artists, but once you come across people who are "sensitive", and just want to be left alone, treated like normal people...then you can't say it's quackery.

I dont get it as Randi is saying its doesnt exists at all I think hes saying that 99% of it is BS and purley exploated.


I fully believe your dog story that the dog can see a "soul" or whatever you wanna call it, nothing super strange in that imo =)

Exactly. Let's see some empirical evidence. There's a reason why Sevastase and all his reptile nonsense can only be 'seen' by him and his Swerdlow cabal.

Then he needs to go to a house where a violent homicide has occurred or or a abandoned hospital for the insane. Tell him to spend the night and say loudly through out the night "I don't believe you exist. Fuck you, you pussies, do something to me!"
gauranteed he'll be a believer then. But just like no one would take up his money offer. He'll never take that offer ;)

 Where I used to work, it is a jail, sometimes when the Correctional Officer do count, they count one too many. Well, there is a guy who hung himself in the jail, and his spirit is still there. He frequents the weightroom (once a bber, always a bber ;D)
It scares the hell out of people.

Another place, the Circuit court in a county where I worked, the clerk told me she would late at night, and a radio would come on...the radio was unplugged. And sometimes she would hear a woman humming, she was the only one there. Turns out it was some woman that had died there.

Ther is this house in another county that had a violent shooting death. The house was sold, and then the new owners promptly sold it again, then the new owners sold it again, it has been sold approx 5 times since I was told about it, back in 2007. You tell me why the families won't stay in that house...

And I have others examples...

How about the offspring of a nun who worked in a mental asylum, and one night was accidentally locked in and raped hundreds of times?
