FlyingAngel Posted October 29, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Of course, of course. Clairvoyance for her is not a passion, but a pass time to take away people's money. Once she has enough money, it's no need to continue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do something from love, there is no retirement, especially if you have a "gift" to help people. Its like FlyingAngel said, she have enough money to stop stealing from the people...I'm guessing is exhausting to lie to them for 40 years, she needs a break. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Amerika Posted October 29, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 29, 2012 This is just the standard Psychic retirement plan. When its time to retire, you use your powers to grab a lotto prize and then fade away. It doesnt mean they arent real, really they are. It takes great willpower to keep from winning the lottery at 20 and enjoying your life. Good Grief. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, because winning at 20 is not a good moment to financially help her family with that amount of money.

Technocrat Posted October 29, 2012 #8 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ah well, there goes the old joke, "Why don't you ever see the headline, 'Psychic Wins Lottery'!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Amerika Posted October 29, 2012 #9 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Right, because winning at 20 is not a good moment to financially help her family with that amount of money. But you miss the point, at 20 they would be using their "gift" for personal reasons. Thats why they have to wait until they are ready to retire. To do otherwise would show them to be unethical. And Psychics are anything but unethical.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallidin Posted October 29, 2012 #10 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yeah, I hear you on that. "Pure" spirituality would have no desire for money, or even material possessions beyond the basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or why they don't win the lottery at 20 to provide for her/his family and still be a psychics? I don't see any obstacle to be rich and to help people with your "gift"....then you can help people for free, or helping someone always have a price? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excepting for commercial fires, or arson, or forest fire, when was the last time you heard of someone getting a bill from the fire department? In the US, that's built into our taxes. Same for "normal" police calls. Medical(ambulance) is different and will charge a hefty fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medical(ambulance) is different and will charge a hefty fee. yes it's paid from your taxes. do those firefighters get a paycheck? my point is that there is no shame in charging money or making a living on something you excel at. if a person has psychic abilities that does not obligate them in any way morally, ethically, or legally, to provide a service without cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallidin Posted October 29, 2012 #16 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I would presume that a "psychic's" suppossed abilities does not even come close to the established abilities of, say, firefighter's, policemen or medical staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanna know there are lot of fire departments where the fireman's are volunteering and it not even the same, i don't know how can you even compere it. If you're house is burning, no matter if you paying taxes or not, the fire department will come and put the fire down. I'm really disappointed that more and more people are becoming a selfless b******* its not everything about the money. If i was a psychic, I'll win my self a lottery so i can have money for living and help out people for free....if you ask me the psychic people are a scam and there can only mess up someones life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendy Demon Posted October 29, 2012 #20 Share Posted October 29, 2012 So, why should they(psychics) charge money for an absolutely unproven profession? Because they can buffalo the gullible into thinking that what they do is real and legitimate. After all people are willing to pay for any service if they are convinced it will "help" them. They (the "psychics" ) think they have a service to offer and some have actually had "training" for whatever it is they think they are doing so they should be compensated for their service regardless of how dubious it is.

+OverSword Posted October 29, 2012 #25 Share Posted October 29, 2012 What's the percentage of psychics that win the lottery, as compared to the percentage of non-psychics that win the lottery? . Who can say for sure. Some people might be pcychics and not know it. Believe me, I'm not a huge advocate of psychics but I won't completely dismiss the possibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
