I also read his post, and commented on the big "Fraud" section of his first link. Nobody seemed on the Psi end seemed to notice that one for some reason.Quote:

Not true that there's no really good evidence for psi. Studies done at the Stanford Research Institute on Remote Viewing in the 70's-80's were rigorously controlled scientifically and provided undeniable evidence that RV is real. Not only that, but everyone has the latent ability to do it. The research is out there, if you're interested. It's probably personal bias that makes you think there's no proof. I also didn't believe it. I have seen it demonstrated and participated in demonstrations myself, and I have no doubts remaining about it. I recommend the book "Mind-Reach: Scientists Look at Psychic Abilities", by Russell Targ and Harold E. Puthoff.
Completely true. :-D And you people get mad when I present my ideas as fact, well guess what? It IS fact! Its been proven, if you dont want to take the evidence then thats too bad for you.. But the fact is, its real.
Well I guess all the Science Huggers will now have to do some research, find the site, and then announce that they acknowledge that RVing is real. Too bad. :D
You didn't read a goddam word I said. Why should anyone believe anything that far fetched without proof? And if they don't, why are they "close minded"?Quote:

check out biosupermindpowers.com.....or google Ingo Swann......I just read all the threads, this is an interesting site
Are you sure you typed that site in right? I can't get to it. :shock:
You do care. That's why you keep coming back with "Guys, I can really do it" instead of just leaving. If you don't care, why are you trying to sway our opinion?Quote:

You really need to get a better line then that. You've accused me of that all the time when you can't think of anything better to say.
Without proof..We gave you the proof. And yes, I am saying I can do it.Quote:

You obviously do give a shit whether or not we believe your crazy ass ideas, so stop saying you don't. Maybe then we could move on (doubtful).Quote:

Damn those rationalists!! Always raining on your unicorn parade! If only everyone realized that science is useless, then you wouldn't have a computer to blather away with!Quote:

If you want to convince anyone, give us ONE good site, ONE good piece of evidence which conclusively proves, SCIENTIFICALLY, that your argument is correct.
ALL it takes is ONE. Then we can discuss that one piece of evidence. Quality over quantity. OK?
You fool! How dare you not take Wikipedia as a legitimate source for Psi! Either way, they won't give up a real scientific paper saying "Yes, it exists" because that paper doesn't exist.Quote:

I was of course talking about this post made by der'morat'oneiro!!!

There. Have at it! :p
I am. Find it and gimme. I refuse to go on a wild goose chase for this 'research', you have the burden of proof. If you really want to convince all of us (and I'm perfectly open to evidence) then give us the actual research, not just a vague reference.Quote:

Funny how you said nothing about the research done at Standford Research Institute. You wouldn't wanna be proven wrong now would you?
And no, I'm not gonna go fetch you the information. I don't feel the need to prove anything to you. If you wanna find it, then go ahead, if not, that's fine as well. The choice is yours! ;)
Spoken like someone who knows perfectly well there is nothing to find.Quote:
