psychics

[alidile]

has anyone ever been to see a psychic? i'm thinking of going to one and forgetting boxing day.
my main intention is to see what relationship/love oriented information they give me. apparently once you know, you can alter your "future"
anyone?
i know this sounds really crazy.
i know people who have been to psychics for general info and found out very true facts they would've never known any other way, and not that vague stuff either.

There is no evidence that psychics know anything. I am always surprised that anyone could take them seriously.

it's things like i've had friends who have been told they were going to get injured and what not and did after not believing it. another friend was told someone in her family was going to die in a certain amonunt of time which she thought to be ridiculous and never mentioned to anyone and low and behold it happened. i've also a friend who's mother works with energy... i don't quite understand it but anyways... she can tell me without seeing or talking to me what drugs or alcohol i had taken back in the day, she can sense things in a person what they've eaten... lots of stuff and emotional reasons.

Mind reading, fortune telling, soothsaying, horoscopes, etc, are all a scam

Don't most people injure themselves on occassion?

Yes, relatives die. Especially the ones that are either old or sick.

The types of drugs and alcohol being used by young people follow trends.

I think it is fine (and fun) to go see a psychic. I just wouldn't view it as anything more than entertainment.

If there's nothing in it, why do the police use them?

They don't; at least not in Los Angeles.
