In fact your OP comes very close to breaking DU TOS rules.

No kooky, extremist, or hate content
Do not promote ridiculous, bigoted, or extreme-fringe conspiracy theories. Do not promote extreme fringe views. Do not reference hate sites or other extremist/fringe sources.
Why we have this rule: Democrats are supposed to be part of the "reality-based community." Some amount of skepticism toward powerful institutions is healthy and appropriate, but that doesn't mean every paranoid fantasy is true. Posts about mass shootings being "false flag" operations, 9/11 being a controlled demolition, no airplane at the Pentagon, chemtrails, black helicopters, the Illuminati, or other nonsense make us all look like fools. This website may have the word "underground" in our name, but we are not extreme fringe.

See my post below. Dream Girl Jun 2020 #68

You don't have "latent psychic abilities" PTWB Jun 2020 #158

I'm not really interested in what do think or believe. Dream Girl Jun 2020 #201

That's fine. PTWB Jun 2020 #230

Prove it Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #231

Prove that you aren't a psychic? PTWB Jun 2020 #233

I'm not a psychic. Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #235

That isn't at all what you claimed originally. PTWB Jun 2020 #236

Not in my eyes. PTWB Jun 2020 #240

Because I embrace logic, reason and science qazplm135 Jun 2020 #75

I have evidence, but... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #99

people have "personal experience" qazplm135 Jun 2020 #101

not really qazplm135 Jun 2020 #107

Maybe, and... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #115

yes SCIENCE qazplm135 Jun 2020 #117

Parapsychology is a science. Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #162

not really qazplm135 Jun 2020 #174

Why not? Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #178

with as much good nature as I can muster qazplm135 Jun 2020 #183

So let me get this straight... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #188

lol qazplm135 Jun 2020 #190

That I'll agree with, but... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #193

I can use scientific methods qazplm135 Jun 2020 #210

Some people think psychology is also a pseudoscience, but... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #205

it's a soft science qazplm135 Jun 2020 #211

I agree, but... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #214

first of all no that's not true qazplm135 Jun 2020 #221

It is true. Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #224

Not a science. A pseudoscience. n/t Crunchy Frog Jun 2020 #202

You obviously have never experienced is hence you desire to explain it away. I once had a reading Dream Girl Jun 2020 #66

It is hard to believe something like that, but... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #70

This psychic was well known, I think she may have done police work. It was so amazingly accurate Dream Girl Jun 2020 #74

It happened in the Ted Bundy case... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #77

Link to this psychic in the Bundy case? Tipperary Jun 2020 #142

Crap, I'd have to search through my book on Bundy, but... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #145

was that a case about tasty German cakes? qazplm135 Jun 2020 #155

Ha, just saw that myself. Tipperary Jun 2020 #159

It's not something you can turn on or off... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #79

Because for psychics to be real qazplm135 Jun 2020 #106

We don't really know much about physics, and... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #111

I'm sorry but that's really really wrong qazplm135 Jun 2020 #120

We don't even know 1% of why physics does what it does. Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #123

where did you come up with that number? qazplm135 Jun 2020 #128

Just a guess, but even scientist will tell you... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #131

That's a lot of coincidences, don't you think? Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #113

nope not really qazplm135 Jun 2020 #116

Maybe, but... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #134

I mean by definition qazplm135 Jun 2020 #137

Well, if it makes you feel any better... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #167

You have to add the probabilities together... Amy-Strange Aug 2020 #255

Well, I hope you'll pardon me if I don't find your premonition Crunchy Frog Jun 2020 #17

Doesn't matter. Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #24

and if it had gone the other way they would have been right - putting you at 0 for 1 Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #55

But, it didn't, did it? Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #60

You had a 50% chance of being right. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #67

Nope, I'm not going to be complacent, nor... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #73

The point is not whether YOU are going to be complacent, Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #83

How can I stop something that I've already done? n/t Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #84

Don't do it again, and stop defending it. n/t Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #86

I'm not going to start another thread like this, but... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #90

Then when Trump wins, you can pat yourself on the back Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #92

I don't want to pat myself on the back. I want trump to lose. n/t Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #93

We do not even know if this Seahawk story is even true lol. Tipperary Jun 2020 #140

I'm going to assume qazplm135 Jun 2020 #147

I see your point. Tipperary Jun 2020 #179

That's because you don't believe in premonitions, but... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #185

don't think you are lying qazplm135 Jun 2020 #191

But, you can't prove me wrong, and... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #194

Those other people don't think so... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #164

YOU say it DOES exist Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #171

Absolutely correct, except... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #173

Completely irrelevant as to whether you have to prove a positive or a negative. n/t Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #177

Interestingly enough... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #166

no, you are the one telling us it exists qazplm135 Jun 2020 #182

What I said from Post 160 was, "I believe bigfoot exist", and... Amy-Strange Jun 2020 #187
