I’m a gamer and have been for a very long time. As such video games, and things dealing with video games, are a big part of my life. I also like to read comic strips both in the newspaper and on the web. One of my all-time favorite comics is about, what else, video gamers. It’s called PVP Online and it revolves around a cast of characters who work at a video game news magazine called PVP, which is short-hand for Player vs. Player. I especially relate to Cole, who is the editor of the magazine and who has a past history, not to mention the resulting physical build, that almost reads like a bio for myself though I didn’t start my own gaming mag.
Anyway, the point of all that is to get to today’s PVP comic strip which does a great job of poking fun at popular “I see dead people” phony psychic James Edwards of Crossing Over fame. This guy’s act is as transparent as the spirits he claims to contact and yet people continue to buy into it week after week in much the same way poor Skull in PVP does. I end up double appalled at a show like Crossing Over because my first thought is that I think it’s the worst kind of immoral and unethical activity to manipulate grieving people for profit. My second thought is that I can’t understand how anyone can watch this guy in action and not see the classic magician’s trick of cold reading in action. Of course, when I’ve commented on this at other sites I have been told by one person that it didn’t matter if Edwards was the real deal as long as he made people “feel better” and “brought closure” to their grief. I suppose with attitudes like that, people like Edwards and Sylvia Brown and James Van Praagh will continue to make a great living selling their feel-good snake oil on a willing public.
I suppose I won’t deny stupid people their right to give up their money to phony psychics if that’s what the really want to do, I just wish they’d be stupid enough to send some my way occasionally. I’d be happy to call them up and say “Your dead father/sister/uncle/grandmother doesn’t really think you’re to blame for whatever horrible way they died even if it was really your fault. They’re happy as you can possibly be when you’re dead and they want you to know that everything is wonderful in the afterlife. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, they said to say they love you.” My way takes less time and has the same effect in the end, how could they possibly refuse? Heh, I didn’t mean to turn this into an Edward’s rant, but looks like I couldn’t resist. Shoulda seen it coming, really.
Good debating tactics, just ignor the points you cannot refute. You skipped over all my points on law, and anarchy.
You also seem to have missed my entire point about Hitler. He didn’t believe in the christianity as practiced by the population, because he thought it had been perverted by the jews (that is the christianity he was hostile toward), and it was no longer “true” christianity (even if you want to believe he was hostile to all christianity, show some evidence where he was hostile to the notion of god). Hitler’s purpose in discouraging the SS from attending religious services wasn’t related to his own lack of belief, it was a control tactic. He didn’t want his closest followers to think they should answer to a higher power, he wanted to keep them loyal to him alone.
Many christian historians have been trying to paint Hitler as an atheist, but that isn’t supported by the facts. I have yet to see a quote where he denies the existence of god, and that is most likely because he never did, and that means his statements in “Mein Kampf” still stand, and therefore we can say that he was not an atheist.
Valhalla is correct. Hitler’s Table Talk reveals Hitler’s disdain for the Church during his time, but doesn’t prove he’s an atheist or that he didn’t believe in God. One needs to keep in mind that hatred of the Jews was quite common during Hitler’s time and while Hitler did feel the Catholic church was corrupt, he still supported the generations of papal programs against the Jews. He also was a big fan of Martin Luther, who also hated the Jews. Despite his complaints about the Catholic church, Hitler still considered himself a Catholic and the Catholic church never excommunicated or even so much as condemned his actions. Nothing in Table Talk suggests that Hitler wasn’t religious himself or didn’t believe in God.
I believe part of the reason so many religious people want to turn Hitler into an atheist is because they don’t want to accept that a believer is capable of the horrible things Hitler did, but also because by the rules of many of the Christian denominations a believing Hitler could quite possibly be kicking it back in Heaven. The Bible does teach that no matter how horrible someone may be or how many terrible things they did in life as long as they accept Jesus Christ as their savior they’ll be saved and go to Heaven. It’s not like the Bible doesn’t have stories of supposedly Holy men acting on God’s behalf commmitting atrocities as bad or worse than anything Hitler ever did.
I just watched my first John Edward’s Show, and couldn’t believe how shady it seemed to me. My mom believes he can speak to the dead, and I did see the SouthPark episode (pretty damn funny).
Well as human beings we all search for answers, and it seems we all search for answers always about tomorrow. Everyone wants to believe they go through the life they live to have, something wonderful waiting for them on the “other side”. John has taking this wanting desire of people and has turned it into a profit making phenom. He taking this age old obsession of wanting to speak to people we can no longer speak to, and carved a nice little “niche” in that market. Now is that right, or is that wrong? I believe it is wrong to prey on the weak. The weak being emotionally unstable, physically, or mentally unstable and that is what I believe he does. I really want to see that Penn & Teller show to see what they actually did, because these guys are great they actively seek and destroy illusions, and “magic” to show people it is for “entertainment” purposes only. By the way I did catch that disclaimer at the end of John’s shows. If it was real would you have to put that up? NO! The law dictates that you do so, or you could get in to some trouble.
For example: What makes John Edwards better then a mobster, or a gang member. I’m a mafia man, or a gang banger, and I offer “protection” for a price. Now this “protection” is a false sense of security, because you don’t really need any protection from anyone other then me. However, I tell you I will protect you from harm if you give me money. Edwards does the same to, an extent. He offers “comfort” and “hope” to people for a price. Now I think he probably has helped someone to deal with a tragedy, and if he has helped just one person that is nice. However it is a shady way to do it. Do not claim to be something you are not, that is what is wrong here. Al Capone gave thousands of dollars to charities, orphanages, and his church to name a few. He was just a business man, yeah right! That money he gave though came from illegal activities and ultimately murder. So does this make him a great man for providing food, shelter, clothing, and a sense of “security” to those “less fortunate” then him. Some of the conclusions, from some on here, would make it seem like he was a wonderful man for doing so. We all know that good things can come from bad things and vice-versa, but everyone has there beliefs, own values, and own view and you can not knock anyone for that. My beliefs say not to judge others, but my beliefs also tell me I can look at someone and see what I should and should not do, in my life. If I was in his shoes, I would hope I would not bamboozle people like he does, and find another way to make a decent and respectable living. Obviously, he is an intelligent man, but many criminals are too. If they spent half the time trying to do what is “right” as oppossed to what is “wrong” they would be fine! I just had to add my two cents about Edwards, so just wanted to say hello.
Now, my forte happens to be history, so I would love to speak on Hitler. Hitler was a former altar boy, a former painter, almost became a priest, and a f’ing casebook loon. Hitler had a lot of bad crap happen to him as a child. This being mental and physical abuse at the hands of his father. Now he was a “momma’s boy”, if you will, and his mother one of his 3 main comforts he knew in the world died from Cancer. His Church turned there back on him (and if you also relate the Church, God and his Religion) you can see where it goes way down hill for him. Finally he found comfort in his art, and when that let him down he sort of lost it (not being accepted in art school, that researchers say either was ran by Jews, or had accepted many Jews that he thought were not as talented). He joins the military, and sees many Jews in high ranking offices, but sees Germany not doing too much of anything. You’ve got the mind of a mad man, accepting the “truth” as he sees it. You’ve got all this built of frustration and RAGE and it just explodes, into again a casebook mental breakdown. What I’ve read and researched in books, or seen in documentaries, or other in- depth looks of Hitler. It seems he was greatly conflicted when it came to his religious beliefs, as well as “sexual preferrence” how he was brought up, when he brought up, and society once again f’ed with his head. He delved into the occult, physcic readings, astrology (his favorite), but people were also scared of him, with good reason. The readers, and others around him when he rose to power never wanted to tell him “bad” news. Like all people he looked for something to believe in, and he began to believe in nothing but himself. It is true he used the religious thing as a sense of control over his SS soldiers, because it was Hitler and Country. Hitler wanted them to see him as God. Fourtunately, he believed all this shit himself, and that ultimately was his downfall. I personally believe Hitler is the AntiChrist, I hope and believe that, because if there is anyone as worse or worse then him to come, so help us! Well I guess I’ve said enough, I was originally just passing by.
Another thing! If I don’t tell my loved ones, what I should tell them, and what I want to tell them when I am alive! Then I do not believe I lived my life the right way. Everyone I love, and have ever loved knows that, and knew that I loved them. From Friends to Family not with me right now, and when they are gone, or have left this world. I am at peace knowing that I did at least one thing right with each of them and let them know that. Therefore, when my time is up on this world I will not need someone like John Edwards to talk to them, so I am also saving them $300 dollars in the process. That was in response to an earlier post on here, about life after death, and more then a box yada, yada! I sure hope so, but we all owe it to those in our lives that are, or seem worthy of our love, and respect to tell them that if not everyday, as much as possible. I know things happen, and time goes on, and some are not able to say that, but if you are given the chance to, which we all mostly are you need to do it! Do not let anyone pass out of your life, that you love, care for, or etc… That you do not let them know that. All bullshit aside here, that needs to be done.
have you ever heard of a little thing called quantum physics? scientific tests show how energy works. everything is made of energy.
Yes David, I have heard of Quantum Physics. Your point being… what?
Had a lively and animated chat with my father this morning about John Edward/s and fraud in general. To him this guy is impossible like ALL psychics. To me, I think there are ways that science could scrutinize and test these things—maybe not to the point of proof. But, with some level of degree that could give some weight to one side or another. So, I thought I would look around and see if I could find out more about some of the claims that there has been some scientific scrutiny on this guy. So far, not much luck.
What if for instance, a group of volunteer terminal patients were given some specific messages to relay to John—with out his knowledge of these specific messages, of course. Assuming he was cooperative (and wouldn’t a refusal to cooperate earn a mark of suspicion?) would it not be interesting to see if any of these message could be passed on with some intentional planning invovled?
At any rate, nothing more than opinion, belief and theoretic banter has been batted around here. I haven’t had any personal experience where a psychic has convinced me—I have had a few readings here and there. So, until the dead are talking to me personally or some serious scientific study offers some confidence on the subject—I remain open, but skeptical.
Hello I like watching John Edwards show i think it is pretty damn funny you can just tell how fake he is its just so funny. One day i was watching him (i watch him when im at work over nights)and he kept asking questions and no one was saying any thing this went on for about 2 or 3 min. People just want to believe so bad in this guy that they do believe and for you people who do believe in this guy who can talk to the dead (shit)wake up and just listen to him for 5 min and not just what u want to hear either just listen to him his full of shit. like the comment i read on this page your right about the south park episode it was damn funny that was cool and they are right he should be nominated for douche of the year.
Also has anyone seen how goofy this guy looks ya i give it to him he is not the average man he is more of a insane man who problem should see some mental help. Maybe if he and his staff would not get your name off there cpus in the back and take his little mike from him and see what he does without those. Even with the cpus in the back and his little mike he has he still sucks and still has to guess for 5 min to get a answer and most of the time his wrong no no no no no. Edwards u get on my nerves so much just stop with this horse shit and live a normal life not some bull shit life about u can talk to the dead. will thats all im going to say for now maybe i will hear from u or something but dont forget u will go to hell for lieing
I have been compelled to add my 2 cents on this subject. I was browsing through John Edward debunk sites on yahoo while watching the show and this was the second one on the list. After browsing through this string I didn’t notice anyone mention the obvious similarity between his show and professional wrestling (WWE)
The WWE is fake and I think most rational adults can agree on this. If it were real in any way shape or form then people would be getting maimed daily and deaths would be very common. The same extreme would happen if John Edward was real. (aka 911 would have been prevented for example) But would you say that the people who attend WWE events were being swindled and defrauded? Of course not, at least not in my opinion.
I went to a WWE event in Charlotte about 9 months ago knowing the wrestling was fake but they put on a good show and I got drunk and had a good time. No fraud there in my opinion and I never saw a disclaimer anywhere saying that the wrestlers were paid actors. But yet there were a lot of people around me that I could tell thought it was all real and you couldn’t tell them any different.
When I watched the John Edward show I noticed that the same thing had to be going on. People in the audience who honestly knew it was real and people who knew it was fake and were just a little curious. The optimists and the skeptics.
The people who attend John Edward’s readings are looking for comfort and so far from what I’ve seen he has comforted all the people he has read from. The people who attend professional wrestling events are looking for entertainment and from what I’ve seen first hand, entertainment is what they got. You get what you pay for. If you want to pay money to see if someone can talk to a dead relative and help ease the grieving process then great. If you want to pay money to be entertained by a bunch of guys pretending to hate each other and pretend to beat each other then that’s great too. Buyer beware.
Saying that John Edward’s act is similar to the WWE isn’t necessarily a good thing in my book. That and I feel there’s a bit of a flaw in your logic.
While it’s somewhat safe to assume that most people are aware that professional wrestling is more acting than sport, there isn’t any particular harm done even for those folks who believe it’s the real thing. Most folks don’t go to wrestling matches for any reason other than some mindless entertainment.
The same cannot be said for folks who seek out the likes of John Edward. Many of these folks are stuck in a grieving process and need help overcoming their loss. What Edward peddles isn’t comfort, but a poor substitute for proper grief counseling. Nothing he reveals in any way helps the people involved to move on and start healing. Most of them are no better off than when they came to him, but are certainly a little lighter in the wallet for the effort. It’s like taking aspirin for a broken leg. Sure the pain will go away for awhile, but it’ll just come back and the leg won’t heal properly until it’s treated.
WWF used to not tell the truth either.
10 years ago a lot of adults would have fought to the preverbial death that it was real.
They only recently started explaining the tricks of the trade due to a tax on pro sports that had been implemented.
Thats when they switched over to ‘entertainment.’
Lieing is wrong.
Just like stealing mp3s.
don’t justify immorality. John Edwards is doing something immoral for money. we all do it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not immoral.
I was looking up stuff as well.
Here is a decent link.
http://www.skeptic.com/newsworthy13.html
Gee, I’m a little diapointed. I thought you were all going to talk about more than John Edwards. I was looking for info on Sylvia Brown. She must be for real since I don’t see much bashing on her. If you have an opinion on Sylvia please let me know. I would love to read your thoughts on her readings
Cindy
I’ve mentioned her as well in other entries here on my blog. If you use the search option in the upper left column you should be able to find my references to her.
My opinion of her is actually lower than my opinion of Edward as she tends to wrap her supposed psychic abilities in a lot pseudo-religious nonsense.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction on your sight. Now I’m completely confused! I’ve never seen any bad things about Sylvia, Infact she is on today (Montel) The one BIG thing I never understood about these people is if you have a gift from God I do not believe it’s right to charge money. It is so easy to get sucked in by these people when you can’t handle the unknown. I do, by the way, believe in life after death and the other side. I also do not believe John Edwards is real even a little bit. He is so obviously fake! Maybe I need to start looking at Sylvia more closely! Why do people have to lie?? I’m the kind of person that believes anyone until they are caught in a lie and then after dissapointment I Take a long time to trust again. Just me.
Thanks!
Cindy
One more thing. Do you believe I was extreamly close to paying the $700 for Silvia?! I am not the kind of person that throws money around either. I’m a saver! I guess i was meant to find your sight. Explain that one
Cindy
You ask some good questions for which there are many possible answers that’ll probably vary depending on which person you’re asking them about.
Edward seems to me to actually believe he has some special ability whereas Sylvia seems to reveal in some of her actions that she’s aware of the scam she’s perpetuating. The attention and admiration it brings certainly is a factor and I’m sure the amount of money these people rake in doesn’t discourage them in any way either. Especially when you consider the number of people who take the attitude that if these charlatans are providing some small comfort then what these people are doing isn’t a bad thing.
They do stand as a testament of how there are a lot people who have a desperate need to believe in something greater than themselves and are willing to spend inordinate amounts of money to reinforce that belief.
As for you, at least you decided to look into what you were buying before plunking down your $700. That’s a habit that will serve you well in the long run.
I stumbled across this site and have read all the posts to get here.
I believed john edwards until i saw the prices he charges.I am shocked he is not in the forbes richest… if anyone has watched and saw the bobby pin episode. you know what i am talking about.Either a plant was in the audience or he really has some sort of “gift”. But, anyone who charges 300.oo a 1/2 hour is not in the interest to help people.. he is out to make money. I keep being reminded of houdini and his vow to come back if possible through a medium to convey a secret message to his wife.
It never happened and there must be a reason for that. right? I am disapointed in john edwards and his kind… what good is relief to a loved one if its not real? I really hope they lose any ability they may have, which is the karmic law right?
I can’t believe these idiots are using Hitler
Did you perchance get your “truth” off the back of a cereal box? National Socialism and Hitler’s philosophy had nothing to do with Christianity; in fact, he hated them too. His ideology was occult in nature and came closest to being Theosophist (or Ariosophist, as this site claims).
Despite SOME church clergy being complicit in some of the crimes of the Holocaust, it was more likely that both fear of retribution and complacency with Hitler’s anti-Semitism prompted their participation. There were plenty of Christian victims too, you know, especially dissident ones.
Give all the credit you like where credit’s due (the Crusades, the Inquisition, etc.), but don’t confuse anti-Semitism with Christianity, and don’t confuse Hitler’s extremely superficial alignment with the church with the real basis of his movement.
Utter and complete bullshit.
First, it is my understanding that as a mass murderer Hitler ranks but third behind Stalin and Mao.
Second, even a modest amount of historical research should disabuse you of the notion that the NSDAP was a Christian movement. The idea is simply preposterous.
The one thing that hasn’t been forgotten in Germany is that for every Niem
Indeed. I have pointed out in the past that Hitler was a Catholic in good standing (as far as the Church was concerned at least) and that he did consider himself a Christian, but that’s not quite the same as saying that Nazi Germany was a Christian movement.
wow
We almost got to the nub of it on this thread,but,as usual you all got sidetracked back into your yes it is no it is’nt ways.
In quantum physics odd things start to happen,the one I would point you to initially is the notion of an observer affecting the outcome of an event.
This really is a profound and difficult concept to deal with,but the rewards ,if you care to think it through,are a glimpse into the true nature of our universe and our place in it.
Ps
If you can wiew,our world from space.
And no paradigm shift takes place.
Then it’s time to start evolving
n
Not sure what your point is, spacemonkey, but it sounds like you’re trying to use quantum mechanics as some sort of an explanation of psychic ability. This is a popular claim to make by those who want to believe psychics are real, but it doesn’t really support your argument all that much.
Damn, you chrisitians have amazed me with your ignorance again!
National Socialism and Hitler
hi
So thats the button to press is it.
Absolutely not phsychics are just like all other religous fantasists some are sincere in their beliefs,some see it as a way to turn a fast buck.
However i have learned not to debate on religous grounds,once these people have made a leap of faith the doors of perception tend to close.
What Q physics tells me is that their is a limit to what can be known using empirical methods,and more to the point that cause and effect is not absolute.
There are well documented studies on non causal or synchronistic anomalies.Arthur Koestler The Roots of Coincidence does a fair job of picking up where Jung left off.
Religion Mono-Deism in particular is a cop out.It provides a template of pre set answers to the dificult questions that sapience throws up.
It gives people a comfort zone
I choose to be uncomfortable.
My intention was to intrigue anyone who is not familiar with the apparently bizarre paradox that Q physics throws up
In the hope (mostly forlorn)that it would help someone see religion for the anachronism that it is
n
Umm, if you’d pay attention you would notice that so far no Christians have weighed in.
Hitler said and wrote a lot of things, most of them bald-faced lies. In the simplest terms, the churches were useful for him to the degree that they allowed themselves or could be coerced to preach the national socialistic world view. Religion was simply a tool; willing or not. There is no doubt that e.g. the Catholic clergy would have followed the Jews in due time; not every Catholic priest was a Lichtenberg, but there was more than enough opposition within the Catholic clergy to earn them a one-way trip to a concentration camp. If you look at the actual historical record, from the get-go the NSDAP restricted the traditional churches to cater to religious issues only; rather than trying to strengthen the churches they did their worst to emasculate them. Try google.de for details.
The Reichskirche, by the way, was a national-religious movement that soon failed.
“Hitler said and wrote a lot of things, most of them bald-faced lies.”
Hmmmmm, let me think, who should I believe?
This person or Hitler? Ummmmm, I’ll take Hitler. Hitler said he was a chrisitian, and wrote he was one over and over again. That enough evidence for me!
In the simplest terms, the churches were useful for him to the degree that they allowed themselves or could be coerced to preach the national socialistic world view. Religion was simply a tool; willing or not.
Thanks!!! Thats exactly the point I’m trying to make! Look at what happens when people use christianity to their advantage.
Do you? The thing about hate groups is that, not to put too fine a point to it, they are *hate* groups. Two things are at issue – what is cause and effect and do the major churches distance themselves from these groups.
What is the cause of the hate? The bible, the Ayran Nation says Jews should be killed because the bible says they should be. The bible and god have been used to preach hate through out history. Examples, Crusades, Inquistions, Civil War, WW II, ect. Whenever the bible comes into play, mass murder seems to follow.
Do the major churches distance themselves? I don’t know. Of course they say they do, but who really knows.
Hitler USED Christianity as a tool, he fully understood the power of propaganda and what can be stronger propaganda than the proselytizing Christians blindly following some ancient belief that has no basis in reality?
Get the Christians which in his mind are easily duped (and he is right) all behind you and you have a very large number of easily duped idiots under your control.
What better way to do that than to get the head Idiot to back you (Pope) which he did, then all the good lil Christians follow like lemmings off the cliff.
I assume no one is trying to deny historically Christians in general are not exactly “Pro Jew” are you?
Regardless whether Hitler was Christian or not is a moot point.
FACT is the Nazi party led by Hitler exterminated Jews as a way to purify the “Aryan Race” which was An idea with absolutely no basis in fact. An idea torn from its real scientific meaning. And an idea used to make hate and murder look rational and scientific, the only way you can justify such insanity is to slap religion on it, interpret/misinterpret religious scripture any old way you like to “prove” your lunatic ideas is easily done since ALL religious doctrine/scripture has ZERO basis in REALITY with ZERO factual evidence of its existence, its purely “faith” or “Belief” based propaganda that can not be either proven nor disproved, thus making it the perfect tool to brainwash the masses into committing all kinds of atrocities in the name of religion and its all completely justified since its ordained by God.
http://human-nature.com/nibbs/01/ogilvie.html
“Further insight into why religion can used as a racist tool comes from the master of social manipulation. In Mein Kampf, Hitler gave his assessment of religion’s significance by stating:
Well, I am a Christian …
Right. Because the good Lutherans of Germany were all in lockstep with whatever the Pope said.
hi, i see your point, but you to sound like john edwards, you are the same he is trying to prove life after death, and you are trying to prove that there is not. why do people like you get so nasty about it, if he is helping peaple, why does that bug you so much. i think you need to know that there is a life after death, and you want to now that we just dont die. what is the difference to saying to somone’hi i hope the sun comes out later; but in your world you would like to say; hi the sun will not come out it will rain all day; how morbid. is it not better to have happy thoughts. anyway no sprits will come to you, because you will never belive even if your aunt appeared to you, you would make some reason for this. anyway thats what i think, i was going to tell you about my experince but i bet you do not belive me. bye from karen.
my god. I never really thought there were people who actually watched shows like that for anything other than entertainment because its such obvious bull, but i guess in the southern areas of the united states theres enough religious fanatisizm and low iq scores that anything that cant be proven wrong will be considered true. Guess what, maybe you beleive in more than life and death, and thats called religion. To think that an arse like john edwards has some special gift to talk to the dead is just bloody ignorant. The man uses people who are emotionally destraught and ignorant and spins a profit. Shame on anybody who stands up for that evil man who has done nothing but give people false hope and delusions.
hey i’ve the south park episode and i just sent an email to this john edwards guy, i dont think he’ll ever read it but it was fun anyways:
Hey man! I just wanted to congratulate you on winning the award for biggest douche in the universe! I just saw you the other day in south park! keep it up!
I hope you can soon join the other side fellas, please die soon.
Your Friend, Stand Marsh.
you guys! he answered my email =P:
…..
I love that episode its great, I really wanna buy it on DVD!~
…..
Well, I can’t deny John has some sense of humor.
Les said:
I’d be happy to call them up and say “Your dead father/sister/uncle/grandmother doesn’t really think you’re to blame for whatever horrible way they died even if it was really your fault. They’re happy as you can possibly be when you’re dead and they want you to know that everything is wonderful in the afterlife.
The more i watch John Edwards, the more i think the whole charade is a parlour trick. If i was a medium and was able to commuicate with the dead i think it would be very emotional for me and the families, but it’s almost as though John Edwards holds back. Strange. Anyway if you want to see someone who has mastered how to “dupe” people, watch Derren Brown, he loves exposing these so called activities, he did a few stunts around the US to prove his point, great viewing. One part of the show has Derren trying to sell an empty tin with flashing lights on it and pads to stick on your head (obviously to capture dreams), he tries to sell it by calling it ‘Dreambox’, some lady takes it home, puts it under her pillow, and the following day brings it back to Derren, he then places the pads on his temples and starts telling her about her dreams, he she is astonished. Throughout the show the viewers know its just an empty tin box, but it proves an important point, how many of these so called mediums cold read. If i had a spirit talking me i would wonder why it did not give me its name, after all what would you believe if a spirit was saying ‘sounds like mmmm’……Oh Please!!
GEEEEEEZZZZZZZ…..HOW FRIGGING STUPID ARE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE BULLSHIT LIKE JOHN EDWARDS…THIS IS THE 2008 AND PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE LIKE CAVEEMEN…LOL…..HATE TO BREAK THIS TO DUMBASSES…THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GHOSTS…LOL..OR SANTA CLAUS..OR THE FRIGGING EASTER BUNNY….LOL…..GEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZ
THIS IS A EXAMPLE AND PROVES THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON IS A DUMBASS….LOL…BUT TRUE….THE BIG REASON DUMBASSES BELIEVE IN GHOSTS…“FEAR OF DEATH”…PEOPLE CANNOT HANDLE THIS IS IT….LOL…MAKES THEM FEEL BETTER TO THINK THEY ARE LOOKING DOWN BEING WATCHED BY FAMILY MEMEBERS WHO HAVE CROAKED….LOL…SO CON MEN LIKE JOHN EDWARDS MAKES MONEY OFF THE STUPID PEOPLE….LOL…HE IS ACTUALLY THE SMART ONE…HE IS MAKING $$$$…..LOL…
