I'm up for the tests, and setting up a set of fixed variables with which to test the actual results. But, like Falco said, the first step is to actually get someone to step forward and be willing to actually have themselves tested.

But then again, they all feel they have nothing to prove to us. Which would lead me to believe there's nothing to prove. Emphasis on that last part.

I have just one question, just to make sure I understand the mechanics behind this thread.

Is this little corner of the expansive UM club being reserved for flat out hard-core debunkers; i.e., someone who'll try to disprove something just for the sake of disproving it, and not because there's absolutely no way through logic, physics, or plain common senses it can exist?

Or can someone with a skeptical, yet open mind participate?

Just curious, since there is a difference.

Oh yeah......and I'll take a Boilermaker. thumbsup.gif

Hey, anyone is welcome to post. It's mainly for fun.
We all have open minds here. We're not closed off to any possibilities. The difference between skeptics and other people is that we wont blindly believe in things without prove that it is a possibility.

Burnsy's right, we like an open mind, but a healthy dose of skepticism is always welcome.

Even without the skepticism, just the ability to use logic and rational thought is appreciated..

I've been known to have men literally melt at my feet.... Now, since this is a non-reality medium here on good 'ole www....... I cannot prove this long distance.

I hear all the skeptics out there, banging their heads on their keyboards, begging for proof........... Alas? I am at a loss..... Feel free to ignore this post..... I think I'm past due on my medications.
