John Edward to contact Steve Irwin

[Achán hiNidráne]

It's not nice to compare John Edward to bastards. Bastards don't deserve that.

I couldn't think of anything worse to call him that would make it past the mods.

 

[Achán hiNidráne]

I had no idea Steve was such a bad person. On second thought his show wasn't entertaining, informative, and didn't help to popularize conservation and interest in wildlife.

No one said that Irwin was a "bad person."

Edward on the other hand...

It's amazing how tangible my anger is when reading about this. I need a box of kittens or something, wow.

It's almost worth believing in an afterlife, just for the comforting notion that this guy would get sodomized by fiery pitchforks for all eternity.

 

[quarky]

geeperz.

i never knew people felt so strongly about the theater they are in.

now i want to kill the guy, and i never met him.

thanks for empowering my violent tendancy!

um,
this is the same john edward that's running for president, right?

No, that's John Edwards. John Edward had the "Crossing Over" show. Considering he was the subject of an episode too, it still shocks me David Blaine beat him out for South Park's "Biggest Douche in the Universe" award.

E: Never mind. He did win the award. Damn worthy winner as well.

EE: the SP episode

What do you mean you need a "box of kittens"?

I'm with you on this one. I've seen numerous references to kittens in other threads and have to admit that it's a joke (I think it's a joke, right?) that goes right over my head, too.

Seeing as how she is "open", I predict that it will be a success.

I'd have to say, the odds of success are somewhere around 100%. Given they were all friends, and not only is she "open" she claims to feel his presence around her all the time; how can Edward fail?

I also suspect the daughter will be part of it all as well.

Where is the crock from "Peter Pan" when you need him??

 

[devnull]

This is very dissapointing.

It looks like they are going to feature it on some current afairs show on channel 7 in australia, where john edwards has apparently been "tested by scientests" (no doupt in an unscientific way).

Oh yeh, this show is whacky (as is a lot of australian media). They really pander to the lowest common denominator.

From the article:
"TERRI Irwin says she is "open" to receiving a message from the spirit of her late husband, Croc Hunter Steve, when an American psychic medium visits Australia Zoo next month."



Seeing as how she is "open", I predict that it will be a success.

Hope Steve's ghost brings a krait with it!!!

 

[rjh01]

I'd of course hope that some skeptic could contact her and warn her about cold/warm/hot reading and such.

I also seem to recall that it is much more difficult for "psychics" to make a living in Australia?

The above quote it the most important thing said in this thread.

I can just imagine it now John Edward being called a fraud on air.

What do you mean you need a "box of kittens"?

People refer to a 'Box of Kittens' because they are SO cute and fun, they can change the mood of someone who is mean, or is upset, or PO'ed. Hence, the saying.

Oh, okay, I got it. I like kitties just fine, but I prefer dogs. I'll take a box of puppies.

 

[JimBenArm]

Hey, when he gets hold of him, could he ask him about the book he borrowed from me? It's checked out from the library, and they want it returned. The fines are getting to be a bit much!

This.

For as much time as I spend involved in activities that revolve around quasi-socially acceptable forms of violence, I'm really just a big softie.

Don't get me wrong, if given the chance I'd put my shoe so far up John Edward's fundament that he'd cough up my laces. But I'm a kind person in general.

 

[insidespace]

I have "serious" doubts about this.

How-ev-er it is "very" true that you have just breathed in a molecule that Steve Irwin breathed out in his last gasp.

So, whose to say those molecules don't have some memory of where they've been? Social insects like ants and termites have memories, yet they are treated just like molecules to us.

I think Mr. Edwards is a big fraud, but I don't negate the "possibility" that in all the "swarms" of molecules some memory can arise.

As the pine tree said to the oak, I don't think we need to close this winter.

Does that help?

Yeah, it sure does. Now that my brain is gone, my head doesn't hurt any more. Thanks!

inside space?
are you a fan of rupert sheldrake, by any chance?

I'm sort of drawn to good scientists that go too far for the rest.
I like Lovelock; linus pauling; tim leary; john lilly; david bohm; feigenbaum; and the math guy that came up with the surreal number system. crud. i can't remember his name.

Oh yeah...i fogot sasha.
(very cool chemist)

Probable - not definite.

So, whose to say those molecules don't have some memory of where they've been?

In the absence of evidence, we must assume that hypothesis is false.

Social insects like ants and termites have memories, yet they are treated just like molecules to us.

Ants and termites are living organisms and as such have qualities that other organisms do - this includes memory.

Without evidence to substantiate the clam: I do.

Does that help?

Sorry mate, no it does not.
