I’m sure everyone has seen the signs for “$5 Psychic Readings” in their town or while traveling elsewhere. What I wanted to discuss here were your thoughts on using psychics for more than just personal entertainment, more specifically in police and detective work.

There’s been documented cases in the past where police haven’t been able to solve a crime, at which point they turn to a psychic for help.
What I find the most interesting is when the psychics they hire actually solve the case.

What are your thoughts on this? What about using psychics to help solve some of the current investigations (such as the Peterson or Hacking
trials?)

I’m not an expert myself on the topic, but I’ve been learning a bit more from a new show on Court TV called Psychic Detectives. It’s on Wednesday’s at 9:30pm in case you want to watch it too.

I knew you'd post that.

Know any multi-billion dollar psychics?

People believe the wierdest things.
You would have to be desperate to go to a psychic.

I would guess some actually believe they have these powers, but I would also guess some prey on the gullible.

I knew someone that claimed she used to be able to do such a thing. She claimed it was "Whispered" in her ear.

She claimed with every truth, there was a half truth attached. That the "tellings" were filled with lies and truths.

For example. It would tell her this and that was going to happen say tomorrow which would be a Wednesday. And then it would really happen the NEXT Wednesday.

Of course she was a loon.

i try not to think this is true because if it is, it opens the door for many things to be true

it's lile the math

if psychics=true

then ghosts=true

and spirits=true

and yo momma's daddy = true

Psychics can see specific events in their clients future - for example how their wallets are getting lighter and such.

Everything else is pure BS.

You've got to admit: their tricks and techniques for making it appear that they can somehow 'sense' certain information, like "cold reading" or "fishing", are quite impressive IMHO.

I have seen South Park, so I know it's all lies and deception.

If psychics knew, one would have posted a thread before you confirming that psychics can see the future.

Exactly.

[Zimphire]

I believe there are Physics out there. Some help police departments and gov agencies.

Not something I would be messing with IMHO.

Again. you will find out they are only told half truths.

Physics are good for us all!
Otherwise we`d fall off the earth.

This just in: Why we want to believe Psychics

Ah, the human error.

[nredman]

miss cleo can see everything

[TheBadgerHunter]

I'll believe it when there is sufficient evidence. Any credibility it might have had is beyond recognition due to the overwhelming amount of frauds.

I can't understand the ads for winning lottery numbers. Why don't they play the numbers themselves?

Selective half-truths.

I was actually suprised that this was NOT spam.
Usually, stuff like that from someone with postcount < 10 is spam.
