Just a small percent of those waiting on a list for a year to pay the likes of Sylvia Browne $700 are "grieving and vulnerable".
Most are looking for a short cut through life and living.
Most wait that year to ask when they are going to meet Mr., Ms. right.
For that year of waiting for a 20 minute phone call they do nothing for themselves to meet Mr. Ms. right on their own.
They want it handed to them. It's all very pathetic.
Those people do not deserve any sympathy.
Those complete idiots are the reason Sylvia Browne and her like rake in millions no matter what RSL or Mr. Randi has to say about them.
Brattus, no offense but what you have here is actually a bit of stereotyping. SOME are looking for a short cut through life and living? Yeah, maybe that's true. Not that I blame them. Life can be confusing and if you think someone has access to wisdom from the Other Side, it is very tempting to want to ask for a little help.
Not everyone is grieving, true. Not everyone is vulnerable, though in my experience, many are. Because the fact is most ordinary people are not going to pay $850 for a 20-minute reading if they haven't reached some stage of desperate. That does not apply to the wealthy, who can afford to wait a year just to ask about Mr. or Ms. Right if they choose.
But for the average person, it's not like asking a silly question on Montel for which you've only paid the price of the ticket, though I've seen people asking questions on the verge of tears there, too.
Do they deserve sympathy? I don't know. Maybe. If they've read Robert's site and they still go ahead with a reading, do I still feel bad for them? Well, yeah, I guess I do. They fell for it, they lost a lot of money, and I think that sucks.
Then again, sometimes it really drives me crazy that these people just don't listen. If they would just do a little research and listen, they would put her out of business AND spare themselves the waste of a lot of money. Why don't some people listen? I don't get that part at all.
As for not doing anything on their own to help themselves, I haven't seen that. I guess it might be true in some cases. Most people, though, like I said, have tried and failed and are feeling rather desperate by the time they're ready to shell out that much money.
