    The vast majority are frauds.

    A small minority definately do have some ability.

  • My sister used these readings-over-the-phone and spent quite a lot of money at a time when she was ill and in a really tough situation. With the benefit of hindsight now, she believes it was all a hoax but she doesn't think it was wasted money because it was a comfort. I have never come across a tarot reader etc. who said anything relevant but I keep an open mind on it.

    Went to a few out of curiosity when I was a teenager and scoffed at what I was told. My mum has always been into that stuff.

    That is why, unfortunately, we had a Labour Government for 13 year's, is, basically, because people are thick and will literally believe anything.

    So called psychic's and medium's are nothing but liar's, fraud's and thieve's, yet, and yet, the gullible, thick and stupid still PAY for some one to tell them what they want to hear.

    Pay me £40 to £50 a time or whatever the charlatan's charge to let me tell you, the gullible what you want to hear.

    No wonder this country is in the state it's in.

    Take a look at that so called "celebrity" psychic Derek Acorah being rumbled right here. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=derek+acorah+fake&aq=1

    Do you still want to waste your money?

    There is no god, there is no afterlife. All people are after is something to believe in and leadership.

    Once you are dead, you are dead. It is as simple as that. No heaven, no hell, you are gone. People cannot grasp that.

    Nothing short of the day you meet your future partner, their date of birth and full name, or the name of the company your going to work for, the start date AND the exact salary you will get, could be classed as scarily accurate, anything else is just predictable guesswork.

    I predict a member of my family will die within 10 years, that I will win the lottery within 5 Years (even if only a tenner) and that I will go on an exotic holiday within 8 Years. Lets see how scarily accurate my predictions will be ;).

    I really dont think politics are relevant nor that people are thick or stupid for using psychics, everyone is entitled to believe in something, you cannot call them thick without categorically PROVING your claims.

    The same rule could apply to religion, one may say those who dont believe in a God are thick, stupid and ignorant morons. But without proof of their being a God, are in no position to chastise an atheist.

    It might be just as reasonable to assume that some People cannot grasp that there is an afterlife.

    Whether or not you believe in other peoples faiths, you are in no position to dictate who is right or wrong, not without first proving yourself. Only those who are thick and stupid would do something like that. ;)

    As you can see, i am not a politically correct nutter, i say it as it is. People have got to stand up for themselves and stop believing in sky pixie's and paying someone to lie to them.

    Never under estimate the stupidity of the general public. People get remunerated quite handsomely for it.

    Sorry, but you can only say it as you "THINK" it is, what people choose to spend their money on is nobodies business but they're own. If people choose to believe in Sky Pixies, neither of us are in a position to say they should not, be that we cannot PROVE categorically that Sky Pixies don't exist.

    Albeit I have no faith in clairvoyance myself, I cannot say they are liars, because I cannot PROVE they are telling lies, neither can you.

    Politicians likewise get remunerated quite handsomely, as a direct result of the stupidity of the general public and they are PROVEN liars, yet people still pay for them to lie.

    Everybody is entitled to their own belief, just as you are entitled to yours. Regardless of the fact that People may say you are wrong, which when it comes down to calling them thick, stupid or gullible, for NOT having faith in what YOU have to say, you are indeed in the wrong.

    Up until you can PROVE otherwise, you are in no position to claim they are wrong. That is I'm afraid to say, the way it is.

  • What a load of old tosh.
    James Randi has had $1,000,000 sitting in a bank account for years, waiting to give it to the first person who gives undisputable proof that this kind of rubbish is true.
    Needless to say, it will never be collected.:cool:
