    Sylvia Browne's Failed Amanda Berry Prediction Returns To Haunt Her.
    Celebrity psychic Sylvia Browne is doing damage control over a prediction made nearly 10 years ago claiming Ohio kidnapping victim Amanda Berry was dead, but her actions may represent a watershed moment in how Americans view psychics.

    "The [Ariel Castro abduction] is a test case for all psychics," said Joe Nickell, editor of Skeptical Inquirer, a magazine that encourages science-based analysis of paranormal and fringe-science claims. "Why didn't one psychic wake up in the middle of the night and know where they were?"

    Browne told Louwana Miller, the mother of Amanda Berry, on "The Montel Williams Show" in 2004: "She’s not alive, honey. Your daughter’s not the kind who wouldn’t call," The Atlantic Wire reported. Berry was kidnapped 10 years ago and was found alive on Monday.

    Yes, asshole 'psychics' aren't always accurate. That's the lesson to be gleaned from this tragic episode.

    Like. I get the hate on psychics,I just don't get the outrage some people have over them. There's always gonna be profiteering off victims.

    That would be the reason for the outrage.

    Yeah, but then it's just semantics, and you can be victim to enabling crazy Scientology arguments with mental heath care..

    whut

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology_and_psychiatry

    Not helping.

    Are you suggesting that mental health care is profiteering?

    I mean, in the US, it pretty much is, because the healthcare system is fucked, but I'm not seeing what that has to do with psychics.

    Read the part about Hubbard, it's pretty similar. I prefer to let individuals decide what they find value in. I'm not pro-psychic by any means, but I couldn't be angry that they're allowed to practice their profession without feeling similar feelings about abortion doctors and money lenders (according to some people.)

    o_O

    Frauds are Frauds. Frauds who prey on the weak and the desperate are especially odious. People who prey on the weak and the desperate generally are terrible.

    And beauty's in the eye of the beholder.. It's easy to get on a pedestal and talk about frauds, but I think it's not nearly as black and white as you're making it out, and I don't see even an attempt at addressing my points.

    I'm still not sure what your point is.

    To compare nerds feelings about psychics with Scientologists and their hatred of psychiatry, and fundamentalists and their hatred of abortion doctors. I understand the emotions, and aspire for the same degree of civility, but it's just not the norm in this world. While I would never pay for a psychic myself, I would be upset if that option was taken from me.

    ...what kind of abortion providers have you gone to that they're comparable to psychics?

    You feel psychics have no value, fundamentalists feel abortion doctors have no value, is this logic not clearly similar?

    Not even kinda. Groups that are opposed to Roe v Wade feel that abortion doctors are providing a value. It is just a value that they consider antithetical to a just and moral legal system, ie sanctioned murder/infanticide.

    'Psychics' aren't providing a value that I consider to be wrong, they are simply not providing a value at all. Because they aren't actually psychic.

    Where are these adamantly opposed fundamentalist that'll admit abortion has value? We're still arguing over evolution in the US, you realize?

    Yea, I don't think my point is gonna get made by me at this point, as I've done my best, ad I got some work to do. I respect your guys position. I just dislike seeing similar reactions to psychics as to Ariel in Cleveland... I don't feel they're similar in the least.

    Umm, all of them? That's why they're so adamantly opposed to abortion in the first place. If they thought that at the end of a procedure nothing had actually happened to the fetus I doubt they'd care nearly as much.

    Realistically, pretty much anything is, given the level of dilution involved in some homeopathic "preparations". Contraceptive drugs are just the funniest. Especially since the same drugs can be used for medical abortions.

    Fundamentalists tend to have issues with abortion doctors because they think they're murderers, not because they're charlatans. I don't think you'd find many people making the argument that abortion doctors are taking people's money and not actually carrying out the service they're selling.

    That, they'd probably approve of, if anything.

    They believe that abortion doctors exploit pregnant women for profit, though. I've heard more people rationalize that people perform abortions for the money than simply treating them as homocidal killers in it for the kicks.

    We should have a federal ban on psychics operating without a license. Just hire a guy, give him an office, some application forms and a "denied" stamp. charge $500 per license application.

    To compare nerds feelings about psychics with Scientologists and their hatred of psychiatry, and fundamentalists and their hatred of abortion doctors. I understand the emotions, and aspire for the same degree of civility, but it's just not the norm in this world. While I would never pay for a psychic myself, I would be upset if that option was taken from me.

    ...what kind of abortion providers have you gone to that they're comparable to psychics?

    You feel psychics have no value, fundamentalists feel abortion doctors have no value, is this logic not clearly similar?

    Not even kinda. Groups that are opposed to Roe v Wade feel that abortion doctors are providing a value. It is just a value that they consider antithetical to a just and moral legal system, ie sanctioned murder/infanticide.

    'Psychics' aren't providing a value that I consider to be wrong, they are simply not providing a value at all. Because they aren't actually psychic.

    Where are these adamantly opposed fundamentalist that'll admit abortion has value? We're still arguing over evolution in the US, you realize?

    An service is being performed as represented. Whether or not they approve of said action is irrellevant.

    And psychics are spending their time with clients just the same as a psychiatrist, it's just an argument over the valuation of the practices that both perform.

    Whoops!

    Sylvia Browne's Failed Amanda Berry Prediction Returns To Haunt Her.
    Celebrity psychic Sylvia Browne is doing damage control over a prediction made nearly 10 years ago claiming Ohio kidnapping victim Amanda Berry was dead, but her actions may represent a watershed moment in how Americans view psychics.

    "The [Ariel Castro abduction] is a test case for all psychics," said Joe Nickell, editor of Skeptical Inquirer, a magazine that encourages science-based analysis of paranormal and fringe-science claims. "Why didn't one psychic wake up in the middle of the night and know where they were?"

    Browne told Louwana Miller, the mother of Amanda Berry, on "The Montel Williams Show" in 2004: "She’s not alive, honey. Your daughter’s not the kind who wouldn’t call," The Atlantic Wire reported. Berry was kidnapped 10 years ago and was found alive on Monday.

    Yes, asshole 'psychics' aren't always accurate. That's the lesson to be gleaned from this tragic episode.

    Like. I get the hate on psychics,I just don't get the outrage some people have over them. There's always gonna be profiteering off victims.

    That would be the reason for the outrage.

    Yeah, but then it's just semantics, and you can be victim to enabling crazy Scientology arguments with mental heath care..

    whut

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology_and_psychiatry

    Not helping.

    Are you suggesting that mental health care is profiteering?

    I mean, in the US, it pretty much is, because the healthcare system is fucked, but I'm not seeing what that has to do with psychics.

    Read the part about Hubbard, it's pretty similar. I prefer to let individuals decide what they find value in. I'm not pro-psychic by any means, but I couldn't be angry that they're allowed to practice their profession without feeling similar feelings about abortion doctors and money lenders (according to some people.)

    My first fight was in 2001 pre-9/11. I got to the airport fifteen minutes before my flight, and made it and had a whole row of seats to myself on Southwest outta Ontario. My next flight was in December of 2001, and they made me throw away over $100 worth of toiletries, and made me miss my flight while they ran a chemical analysis of a swab they used on my laptop.

    Fundamentalists tend to have issues with abortion doctors because they think they're murderers, not because they're charlatans. I don't think you'd find many people making the argument that abortion doctors are taking people's money and not actually carrying out the service they're selling.

    That, they'd probably approve of, if anything.

    They believe that abortion doctors exploit pregnant women for profit, though. I've heard more people rationalize that people perform abortions for the money than simply treating them as homicidal killers in it for the kicks.

    In the process of actually performing an abortion.

    If the 'psychics' were actually talking to your dead grandma then I wouldn't have a problem with them charging money for it.

    Frauds are Frauds. Frauds who prey on the weak and the desperate are especially odious. People who prey on the weak and the desperate generally are terrible.

    And beauty's in the eye of the beholder.. It's easy to get on a pedestal and talk about frauds, but I think it's not nearly as black and white as you're making it out, and I don't see even an attempt at addressing my points.

    I'm still not sure what your point is.

    To compare nerds feelings about psychics with Scientologists and their hatred of psychiatry, and fundamentalists and their hatred of abortion doctors. I understand the emotions, and aspire for the same degree of civility, but it's just not the norm in this world. While I would never pay for a psychic myself, I would be upset if that option was taken from me.

    ...what kind of abortion providers have you gone to that they're comparable to psychics?

    You feel psychics have no value, fundamentalists feel abortion doctors have no value, is this logic not clearly similar?

    Not even kinda. Groups that are opposed to Roe v Wade feel that abortion doctors are providing a value. It is just a value that they consider antithetical to a just and moral legal system, ie sanctioned murder/infanticide.

    'Psychics' aren't providing a value that I consider to be wrong, they are simply not providing a value at all. Because they aren't actually psychic.

    Where are these adamantly opposed fundamentalist that'll admit abortion has value? We're still arguing over evolution in the US, you realize?

    An service is being performed as represented. Whether or not they approve of said action is irrellevant.

    And psychics are spending their time with clients just the same as a psychiatrist, it's just an argument over the valuation of the practices that both perform.

    Not really, the psychic isn't performing any service, which is the crux of the issue.

    Like "We will repair your car with all new fancypants metal somethingfancyword parts" and then they use regular metal boringwords.

    A better analogy might be promising to repair the car, taking off the old parts, cleaning them up so they look like new parts, and then refitting them.

    Which you may or may not be surprised to know is not uncommon. Usually with suspension components because those are the things people are least likely to notice.
