firmobeisance: Well, I would be interested in hearing about your experieces in this area, if you want to relay any. I would not laugh at them (and I promise to cyber-spank anyone who does). But if you'd rather not, and just want to read and participate, of course that's fine, too.

- Susan

 I am honored to satisfy your interest. My experiences are modest and low level, enough to keep my own interest on the subject. I often guess who's calling before I look at my phone. I noticed fewer conflicting emotions when I moved from the city. I have good "luck" with animals and machinery, I can usually fix or operate what others can't and dogs especially seem to be drawn to me. I can often find things that people have lost. While it could be argued, said actually because I won't argue, that I just read body language, I pick up feelings from animals and people. How the heck I would "read" a horses posture is beyond me, but I suppose that is the point.
 The one event that stands out recently however, was when I was driving down the highway late at night. Every time I looked toward an oncoming car, I felt washed with a new set of feelings and emotions, it was quite disconcerting, I felt my own identity might be replaced or something.
 Am I psychic? I don't know. I should hope that if someone is, it is more focused than what I have. How does this affect my relationships? Well I always trust my feelings (when I know they are my own) so sometimes I will make decisions that are not supported by the facts. If I have a bad feeling about someone, it doesn't matter how obsequious they are being, I clear my space of them. Conversely, sometimes I am drawn to people for no apparent reason.

They seem respectable from what I've read thus far, can they maintain their composure while responding to posts?

Do you not think that their first attempt at such an establishment would be to visit a psycologist, or do you think they're happier believing that the manifestation of God has a personal lust for them?

I am assuming you are talking about a psychologist. I have never heard of a psycologist and I didn't even use a dictionary, must have telekeneted the durn word.

Yes, you may have a common experience.  No, it's not what you want it to be.  This world doesn't bend itself to your will.  (Please, if you think it does, take this oppurtunity to go flying off a very tall building before responding, just so you can prove me wrong.)

I didn't realize your views were that important to you. A psychologist will tell you that you are still a very valid person even if I don't agree with you.

Aww.  Did I hurt baby's feelings?  Heh.
Yeah, I'm not nice this morning.  Some bastard pulled the fire alarm in the dorms, so I'm up early, I'm cranky, and I smell nothing but whiney, bitchy shit off of you.  But, meh.  I'm supposed to be nice to you, no matter how crazy you are, right?

I think the reason one maintains a civil and amicable tone while posting is to encourage others to believe what they have to say is respectable. If a person is just typing for whatever personal reason I don't think it is as important to be "nice".

This is a thread where people can discuss their thoughts on something.  The response of mine you happen to be whining about was trying to tell another that you're going to believe your craziness, regardless, and that we should leave you alone.  Which you then turn around and bitch at me about- which is exactly what I was trying to get for you.  Seriously, I feel like I'm dealing with a five-year old.  (Hence the utter lack of respect.  I kind of doubt I'd have tolerated you, just two hours of sleep or not.)

You know, I don't even need to use my psychic powers to feel you feeling like you are dealing with a five year old. Must be frustrating that I am all they way over here on the other side of the monitor. Have you read the thread title? It says, "Are you psychic and how does that affect your relationships." Perhaps the OP was asking for an open discussion on psychic phenomenon, and you were sharp enough to interpret that. You know, any thread is where people can discuss their thoughts on something, hijacking is where people discuss whatever thoughts appeal to them irrespective of the title of the thread.

LOL, sure. Isn't it funny that only those who don't make the claims are concerned about understanding them, refining them and advancing the understanding of humanity? What a remarkable (well not so remarkable) coincidence?
There you go again with those sweeping generalizations, "those who don't make the claims", those who? Surely you can be a little more specific, since you have used the word "only" to exclude them from the rest of society, oh wait, it's the ones who do make the claims that need to be dealt with, huh.
 Speaking of coincidences; around here, at least, a coincidence worth remarking on would be guessing who is calling on the phone several times in a row. Linking two poorly supported statements in a sentence doesn't even bear mentioning.

tsherpet: This is the last statement I will make regarding anything you post. I will not read your posts, I will scan past them for the information I came here to read. You have made your perspective abundantly clear "If psychic phenomenon is/are valid it is the responsibility of those who participate to prove it exists for the betterment of humanity and barring such proof it is not a valid phenomenon, " and have shown little evidence of modifying your perspective.
To continue supporting your position in no way answers the question posed as the title of the thread, nor does it provide insight to further the conversation.
Now I do have a definition from the dictionary:

TROLL
n. An individual who chronically trolls in sense 1; regularly posts specious arguments, flames or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion list, or in email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that they have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of life on the net, as in, “Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll.” Compare kook.

So, as long as someone maintains their "composure", they're respectable?  Interesting.  Socipaths must be the most respectable, then.  ;)  (This is my grief with you.  You try for insults, but they don't even make sense.)

Ah, yes, missing a single letter in a typo.  That makes my point invalid.  I saw below that you defined "troll".  Try looking at yourself in a mirror.

Let's just say I'd like to see a demonstration for the sake of the gene pool.  (Again, you didn't make a point.  Just tried for an insult.)

Ah, so being civil is an act, since one should be so concerned with what other people think.

Ah, yes, since discussing the viability of the assumptions of a subject is in no way related to the subject?

You could've just said you were a troll without defining it.  Then again, I suppose little makes the point like going out of your way to copy/paste the definition of an insult instead of addressing a point.

And this is why you annoy me.  ;)

I am not psychic.  If I were, it would make things a lot less complicated.
Id know to warn him not to misbehave before it happened

I am thinking it is because someones opinion of themselves superseeds their desire to contribute to the discussion, but hey, although I'm pretty egotistical myself, I'm going to go ahead and ignore your reply to my reply to your reply to my statement, because my psychic powers tell me that my reply that I'm not going to make won't contribute to the discussion either.

Yeah..

You know, that post you started talking to me about was me telling tsherpet that we should probably just let the "psychics" be.  I'm not entirely sure why you flamed it.

Well I stopped the "psychic test" I picked 39 hits out of 102 cards....It was simply becoming way to predictable....91% above chance, the odds of anyone possessing my tremendous abilities....1-59,853.



I'm a psychic....I never really bragged about it...It just always ...was.  No big deal.  I could have done better on the test but the images were shooting into my head so quickly that I found myself picking images that were a few behind what my brain was sending me....It was all happening so fast.  With just a little more concentration I'm pretty sure I could have got 100-102...I would have missed the two just to not be a total show-off.   I am God.

Also, I knew I was going to quote "me" before I did it...Spooky fucking shit man...Spooky fuckin' shit.

You know you're hot when you can predict your predictions.  You're just on fire when you can predict your predictions' predictions being accurate without even predicting them first!

I am the only true Psychic here. The rest of you are phonies. I knew what you were going to post before I looked at some of them. I did'nt bother to read all of them because I knew what they said. I could answer the responses to all of the replies to this post now but why waste my time.

Yeah, I've experienced this one.  My going explanation for it is that we constantly think of things like this, like, "Am I going to get a call [from so-and-so]?" 


I get that too, but then again, I have caller ID, I always know who is callin' LOL

But, you see, you didn't predict "drama" via psychic powers, but via empiracle observation and drawing the a conclusion which cited the likelihood of drama.

By the same method, one could predict that there would then be a discussion on how the previous discussion was so dramatic.  And then the thread, typically, gets pretty close to death.  Later, a new thread will likely have more drama, based around the same concepts, though with a new flavor.  :P.. since..
-Some people will hold that things need to be logical,
-Some people will enjoy a thread, talking about stories, even if it's about a concept that requires assumptions,
-Some people will just be in it, thinking the social ladder on a message board is important,
-Some people will be here, having gotten lost on the way to the abstanence message board, deeply disturbed by what they see as a whole.

I've been away from the boards for a few days so if I've read too fast and skipped someone's post, I'm sorry.  Has anyone offered any links to unbiased measurements of psychic ability?  I'm sure there must be many such studies.  I'd love to know what the data actually is.  Psychic ability (if it exists) is definately measureable.

ok...i don't know if this will prove anything to anyone...but..anecdotal evidence, i guess...

yesterday, after looking through some books in the big comfy chairs at barnes and noble, i started to make a bee line for the romance section to pick up a book on our very limited until friday budget with my mom, then stopped picked up a small (able to fit in a purse?) calendar, and handed it to my mom and kept going...until i heard her ask me "did i tell you i needed a calendar?" and i thought about it...said no...and then asked her why, and she said she had been thinking that she needed a calendar she could take with her to her physical therapist so she wouldn't schedule her therapy conflicting with her other appointments, so, i went back and started looking through the calendars and picked out other ones i thought she would like...she looked at all of them, examining the monthly pictures, and chose the one i handed her first...

psychic? i don't know...i didn't know she needed a calendar...i didn't know she needed a calendar that fit in her purse...i didn't know she was going to buy anything that day, we have very limited funds till friday but she needed it for today...i didn't look at the pictures on the back, but i knew that was the one she would like the best...maybe...or maybe you believe in coincidence....thats just a little too much for me...

chelle....who got her romance novel and a book of kitten quotations
