So, I'm a lazy, closed-minded atheist.

Should I watch the video? I want someone to tell me, a cuz I can't think for myself.

Is PSI real now? I just want someone to tell me. I want to be able to read minds. That would be cool. Or disturbing. Hey....HEY!!!!!!!

And I might have taken it that way, if you hadn't spent the last few days in the guardian angel thread demanding that what you believe on that situation is just "obvious" and anyone that doesn't immediately agree is close minded. Don't blame me for being cautious when I have a perfect example of you behaving in exactly the way I want to avoid engaging with, right there in another thread.

You are completely wrong. I didn't say people were lazy for not watching the video. I said they are lazy if they say they are too busy to read the summary. Get your facts straight.

You might want to get your facts straight, too. I never said you called them lazy for not watching it. I said you called them lazy for not investigating your point.

All you did was dump a 90 minute video in an OP with no summary, no follow up nor any comment at all and then had the audacity to imply others were lazy for not reading the summary of the video. If the intent of this thread was that you had an actual point to make, I'd say the laziness is all yours.

It's a conspiracy! It's a taboo! You're closed minded!

Anything but admit the research doesn't measure up.

I am open minded but a lot of these PSI like phenomena can be explained. Unless some random person levitates a full can of coke and throws it at me ill still be skeptical of PSI abilities.
