I'd stop drinking whatever brand of liquor it was that caused me to hallucinate.

I am a Humanist. I believe in a rational philosophy of life, informed by science, inspired by art, and motivated by a desire to do good for its own sake and not by an expectation of a reward or fear of punishment in an afterlife.

If its betting tips were accurate then I wouldn't mention it to anyone.


If its betting tips weren't accurate then I'd only mention it to my shrink.

Aye.  And there's the rub with the paranormal.  If it works you don't mention it to anyone.  You simply use it responsibly or not as you see fit,

Christine and you mention it to everyone.


And yet, asked what it is you use responsibly, asked to show there's anything at all - the rest is silence (to stay with Hamlet).



Oh, and if I couldn't lose at the track, a LOT of folk would notice.


Not least because I never go to the track. Or casinos.


Shush! Quiet, Brendan!

So ...


Do you want to DISCUSS this Question -- or NOT ... ???


(Or maybe your "Question" was merely "Rhetorical" ... ???)

Hello ... ???

Not that I expect much but, I'll repeat it dumbed down to binary choice so you can manage it.



***As the experiences of others directly contradict your own, do you admit your understanding may be wrong?




If you wish to make it a discussion with additional explanation, that's fine but, answer the question first.
