I am proving it - I am calling him a liar or delusional for not being able to prove otherwise, even in a remote sense. He is making the claims and failing to back them up with any remote evidence. Thus, the conclusion.
see? there is an entire system of laws and institutions devoted to proving someone is something, it's not the other way around. you were fine with your disagreements, and i would not have bothered to post, until you made the outrageous claim that DC is delusional. luckily you have no say in the matter, nor do you know much about it, that's what the professionals are for.
Delusional; claiming to have seen and experience things that no others can experience. These experiences are also believed to be real and influential in the persons life.
QED. Need I say more?
yea, i remember that too, only different. see, in fact i was trying to project the delusion onto you, but for reasons that you can't see. it was a deliberate effort to show you something, and it has worked better than i could have imagined (and im quite imaginative). and no, im not desperate, i love this.
You think that I need to prove he is delusional, but you fail to see how he is already proving that for me.
you did make one assumption, it's the quote that i neatly put in (from you) right before i said that. i'll do it again;
I am not utilizing that quote for an argument, stop grabbing for straws.
and no, im not defending anything nor anyone, im just using your own standards to claim that you are delusional yourself. and I'll let your flawed logic slide again on this one, seeing as though i believe you are delusional and thus not very reliable when it comes to forming reasonable thoughts.
Well, you are failing as you are actually trying projection and defending rather than justification.
i'll reiterate; you claim that someone is delusional, you must back this up or withdraw from the claim. that's how the system works, it has been like this for a long time here in the civilized world. and please, don't bring up the 'he can't prove it so he's a liar or crazy' stuff, cause you'd be relegating entire nations to the mad house under that standard, and it would be the 'im not crazy, everyone else is crazy' all over again. ps; check your logic on that one, it's really (really) bad, or stay in your delusion (that would be more fun for me).
I do not know what is so hard for you to understand about this - deathcell claims to have experience psychic phenomena.. I ask him to demonstrate it. He cannot. Thus, I think he is delusional or a liar. He cannot prove me wrong. The only
no wonder i like you so much. a tool, yes, the toolest of the tools, and you can use me up all you want. blind too, so you'd have to be my guide (and you're doing a fine job so far).
edit; i can't believe you wear that avatar and act this way at the same time, that's some funny stuff.
Your facetiousness is entertaining but pointless.
Also, please do not be another scmuck that thinks that I am ignorant to the meaning of this symbol. I am profoundly attached to it much more than it seems most believe.

Congratulations on... another
AD HOMINEM ATTACK.
Again, you made the claim. You cannot justify it. Thus, I believe you are either a liar or delusional.
I love watching people desperately try to pull out logical fallacies in the face of being exposed. You honestly believe I am commiting an ad hominem fallacy but you are the one with the onus to prove your assertions - not I. You have not proved a damn thing. Thus, I believe you are either lying or delusional.
Once you can prove otherwise, I am all ears.
I don't need to respond to someone equating something such as Psychics with people who murder for fun..
Where the hell did I say that?
Why do I have to prove anything to you? To make you believe that it is true yes, but I have no reason to prove to you that I am not crazy. What the hell?
You made the assertions, not me.
Wrong Onus, you are making a claim that I must be delusional.. Now the burden of proof is on you. The simple fact that Psychic visions are not proven is not enough, for if I had spouts of fainting without proof how do we know its not a delusion.
lol why do you guys keep doing this? Saying that I am making the assertion that you are delusional so I must prove it? How can I ever prove it if you cannot even justify your own assertions? Are you guys really that incapable of seeing a point..?
Not trying to save anything actually, I understand that its currently impossible to prove to the world that this really happens. Especially when most of the world is so close-minded that they already have pre-conceived thoughts on this kind of "Weird" "nonsense" and "madness" Whether you are able to see it or not, you all have your own conclusions drawn, evidence for or against doesn't really matter. Until MIT or some school releases a study you will never believe. Which is commendable and respectable, but doesn't make you any more right than me. Just reliant on others.
Again, do not make the mistake of thinking that you are the only individual that has fantasized about having psychic abilities.
I have people PM'ing at least twice every week about having "supernatural" phenomena as a mod. I have to answer to the best of my ability but it's tiring. There are way too many people who think they are so damn special because something "comes and goes" to give "magical clairvoyance" but they "have no control" over it.
Honestly, it's pathetic how much people adhere to it and then claim that I am the close minded one. You have much more potential than believing in this crap.
I honestly, 100%, think you are either lying and enjoying the fantasy, or simply honestly believe the delusional self-fulfilling prophecy.
Sorry, but you are human and you are susceptible the same garbage that many other people have believed in - even myself.
People want to talk about being "waken up" as a skeptic and "believing"? Well, I used to think I had "special powers" - go see my first post on DV - but guess what; I woke up and realized I was being a selfish prick. The best hope you got is to argue my personal bias or something - so go nuts - try your best to justify the self indulgent fantasy chock full of delusions of grandeur.
This is why I hate psychology and wanted to get out of it - people are so fucking stupid. They believe the most ridiculous things on the most ridiculous justifications and then go on living their lives in accordance to it. There are so many people that I wish could just be fucking killed off because they do nothing but cause financial burdens on the health system, their families, and cause stress to others. There is no good in believing this garbage and I look forward to the day where I can say, "I can read your thoughts and you are fucking hallucinating you stupid liar now get on with it and live your life normally" because then psychology would be much for functional and not having to fucking justify itself for every goddam diagnoses.
Fuck you people and believing in psychic abilities. I've fucking had it with it this year. All fucking case studies I have dealt with have been with either fucking children believing they are Gods somehow or fathers believing they have the right to murder their family because they are descendant from some fucking supernatural purpose. It's so fucking stupid. The asinine things people justify their stupid fantasies with turn into such grandiose problems that all it causes in the end is depression.
Here is what will happen with you believers of "psychic" abilities - believe in your fantasies, fight about it so much to other people trying to prove it. You'll hate those that are "closed minded" and don't believe it but you will enjoy the time you can share with these fantasies with others that believe in these fantasies. However, there will be subtle stressors as you all have a gut-feeling it's fake. Have you ever been to a group therapy meeting with a dozen people who all think they are some kind of God? I will bet you haven't, but believe me, it's fucking stressful and ridiculous because they all have their own little stupid reasons for thinking that they are somehow supernaturally destined for great psychic things.
And you know what, it has become such a prominent thing that it is now part of diagnosing schizophrenia, psychosis, and depression. Delusions of grandeur. And it all starts with believing in simple fucking coincidences. What the hell do I have to prove?! Just you wait. Struggle your ass off and you will see your fucking self and then come to someone in my position to ask for help and I'll do my best to tell it to you and all you'll do is continue to resist the help and I FUCKING AM SICK OF IT.
Honestly I believe you are just delusional. (Blank statement with no proof)
Projection.
I must graduate from a school as a science major, and study myself for hours upon hours while testing right.. Because normal people from day to day go about studying themselves as such...
I don't need to prove to you that I am not delusional, you are making the claim that I am... So you must prove it.
I can prove it, here we go... I think you are either lying or delusional about your psychic abilities - you cannot prove me wrong - thus I am right.
Please be a little insightful and see the point.
And you made a counter-claim that I must be delusional or lying with no proof or reason to believe it to be.... Congratulations of being guilty of the same crime.
ARE YOU THAT RETARDED?! USE YOUR FUCKING BRAIN FOR A SECOND AND RE-READ IT. I am sick of spelling it out for you and I am not going to anymore. Holy fucking dog shit.
I don't expect you to believe me, I understand you need concrete proof.. I gave you my detailing of the story and that is all, I told you it happens multiple times.. That is all I can do.. I am not a scientist, I have not studied it under a microscope.. You ask for things people can't provide you, when you know they aren't their... But that doesn't prove I'm lying or delusional... If you had a seizure and had no proof, does that make it any less real? You keep ignoring that one.
You can prove you had a seizure. You cannot prove you had a fantasy. Congratulations - you have discovered how to be unfalsifiable. Thus, you must be right, right?
Who are we to decide what is mad and what is sane, as long as it harms none... Do what ye will.
.... oh... my... god.
That is the creed we should all live by, I don't actually think your all "mad" or "crazy" I was being sarcastic, but of course you can't pick up on anything like that. You really take everything so serious, you must be a load of fun at a party... haha
...
As you've said yourself lack of proof is not proof of anything. So you are crossing the line and assuming a lack of an ability to prove something means it must be a delusion. You don't have to believe that they really have seen the future but you still have no proof that they are delusional, because to prove that you are taking the place of someone who knows all the answers(when you don't).
You are so dumb... I don't want to try anymore.. you completely and utterly fail to see my point and all I'll end up doing is seemingly repeat myself to you. You are so lost in your delusion that you cannot even see my point.
Once again, someone has seizures and is unable to reproduce for doctors.. By your own logic, They must be delusional or lying.
You can prove seizures.
How come you can make biased assumptions without evidence and others are not? (Your thought is nothing but that.. a thought) No one is making you believe anything, but how come a lack of proof is all of a sudden grounds for lying or delusion without you putting in any effort? No proof my friend.
I honestly believe you are just stupid now - this paragraph proves how you fail to see my point. I do not know how to spell it out easier.
Good luck. Alice in Wonderland is coming out soon starring Johnny Depp and directed by Tim Burton. I am sure you will enjoy.
As a side note, I would not continue the discussion. If you came in seeking help with depression and brought this up, you would be in the category of "fuck that". You are too resistant to discuss and completely fail to see my point.. utterly. It's ridiculous.
