…fucking dicks and possibly the slimiest human beings on the planet, right up there with mass murderers and used car salesmen…possibly on par with 9/11 Truthers and Obama Birthers, though don’t want to go TOO far…
So, I was in my hotel room last night and watching a cable show on TV fairly late at night (sorry, don’t remember what channel it was…TLC or Discovery maybe, the hotel didn’t have a lot of variety), and an ad for some psychic cable show comes on. It’s some woman who claims to be able to relay messages from the dead and do other psychic tricks. At one point, this bitch is talking to a little boy and his mother about the little boys father who has recently died, and she is doing the standard psychic horseshit about ‘did he call you buddy or something like that?’…and, of course, the little boy (who was maybe 10) is all broken up because, of course he dad DID call him something like buddy, and here is this psychic lady telling him that and relaying messages from his dad to him.
Fuck…fucketty fuck FUCK! Gods I was pissed…at the same time I felt really, really sorry for the little lad and his mom. I just can’t adequately express my disgust and at least the fire of 1000 sun hatred at someone who would do something like that to a grieving little boy and his mom, or to all the others that this bitch undoubtedly snows with her fucking con games. Ok, some people are just gullible and stupid or at least ignorant…but a 10 year old boy?? A grieving child?? Seriously?
It’s people like this though who I take great pleasure, when the chance avails itself, to humiliate in every possible way…or folks who believe in this crap and who wander onto this board to engage in discussions about the Woo.
Other than it being presumptuous that an all knowing all powerful being doesn’t know what you want and will change his mind only if you beseech him, nothing.
Nothing really. I don’t personally think it does anything, but there is no real harm in praying. Preying now…that’s a while 'nother kettle of alligators…
Where do you think the adults come from? They get 'em young and let 'em grow.
My kids’ family on their mother’s side is all into the psychic shit. I never said too much about when my kids were little, but it did piss me off. They have an aunt who’s particularly ignorant about just about everything. She had them convinced that they were psychic themselves when they were little because they were twins – and twins are special that way. Heck, she even got a real live psychic to tell them that (after payment was conferred of course).
When my kids mother died, they all went to a psychic to find out how she was faring in the afterlife. Now, I don’t particularly intend to speak ill of the dead, or about the mother of my kids, but the woman was not a saint. But of course, they were all relieved to find out that she was up in heaven sitting at God’s side looking out for everybody down here. As if a psychic worth her salt in that situation is going to say, “Hmmm. It appears as though your loved one is suffering in a sulfur pit in Hell. Sorry about that. Ten dollars please.”
If the show happened to be Long Island Medium, I can’t help thinking that the woman herself seems to deluded that I’m not sure how much of a predator she could be. Not that that stops her from making a bunch of money from gullible mourners.
I saw that commercial, too. If I remember correctly, her questions were, Did he ever call you Buddy? and Did he ever wear a “Hello, my name is” nametag. Pretty amazing stuff! Sent chills down my spine.
Apple’s spell checker trying, once again, to ‘help’ me. I didn’t remember changing the OP from pray to prey, but I obviously made some change in the OP and must have caught it.
You spelled ‘psychics’ wrong in your post here, btw, so that makes up for me screwing up the OP originally.
My amount of recreational outrage is directly related to whether the psychic in question honestly believes they are psychic or not. I don’t have an issue with people who merely describe themselves as intuitives.
