[l0chis1]

pure definition of trial and error

[mrpayne123]

Thank you for exposing Edwards 20/20. We need much more TV like this.

[euroman32589]

a year long waiting list...so has botox..it dont mean it's real.

[soooooo89]

@euroman32589 doesn"t mean it isn"t real either.

[frankmat]

Do you know what I find pathetic about this bias 20/20 story about John Edward. They claim that John Edward during a reading with the producer had only 1 hit and 30 or so misses.

What further proof would you need that he is a fraud than to show us 20 seconds of quick video EVIDENCE of John Edward getting 30 things wrong about someone which can be verified? So why is there not a single second of video footage of him getting anything wrong. Where is the 'verifiable evidence' he was wrong?

[frankmat]

The answer of course is simple. Skeptics PROCLAIM rather than investigate. It's easy to proclaim someone is wrong... but the second you show video evidence of him being wrong... you better be certain you are telling the truth or else you are going to have a pretty large defamation law suit on your hands... because someone who knows the truth about the producer's background will be watching and questioning why he misrepresented the evidence.

[ebrobaru]

@frankmat so now, you want evidence. But whenever evidence is asked to confirm his "realness" then it ´s no needed. Of course, whatever

[frankmat]

@ebrobaru Evidence has already been provided.  Skeptics continue to choose to ignore it. This just proves you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. John Edward was part of a successful SCIENTIFIC study of PSI and the conclusion was that he along with all of the Mediums they had tested showed psychic ability.

[gunfiremessiah]

@frankmat Oh you mean that scientific joke they call Gary Schwartz?

[frankmat]

@ebrobaru In fact given you obviously are proclaiming you know what you are talking about and not bothering to investigate.... I will show you the evidence.

victorzammit.[com]/book/4thedi­tion/index.html

In fact the evidence is so overwhelming the lawyer that wrote the book and collated it has offered $1,000,000 to any skeptic that can prove the evidence is wrong and can debunk it.

He has even challenged James Randi several times and Randi refuses to talk to him.

[gunfiremessiah]

@frankmat Youre a fucking idiot. Sorry, but obviously logic is never going to work with you,so I just went for the facts.

[frankmat]

@gunfiremessiah Aren't you a pathetic little wanker. I notice from your channel that all of the videos you go into are religious ones... and that you just abuse and spread your anti-religious spew all over youtube.

At least you have shown your true colours and letting your pre-conceived bias get in the way of evidence.

[Smithpolly]

@frankmat There's a video of a radio reading he gave. It's called "International Psychic medium John Edward" and it's on Kiss957 channel on Youtube. It's a perfect example of what they say about him in this video. If I'd paid money to get a reading like this, I would feel ripped off.

[logicpractitioner]

Why couldn't he tell us where Caylee Anthony was? Natalie Holloway?

[simmi9078]

John Edwards the biggest douche in the universe

[MrLizcoon]

@simmi9078 holy shit i watched that south park episode like ten minutes ago

[MrCaxus]

Douche massive douche

[sk8tachiick5729]

wow can you actually write your opinion of this guy instead of his people not allowing anyone to question his "higher power" of magic tricks. But i will say that he did deserve to win "Biggest Douche in the Universe"

[KarLTshirt]

can anybody say bullshit?

[JHOffSuit]

what a phony. He talks so fast he does that on purpose.

John Edwards in a Gallery setting last night , is a complete fraud! Out of 500 people, he did readings for 10-15 people & was 100% accurate. Interesting thing was none of the people who received readings were in line! I was there several hrs before doors opened , the people were not in line. Preying on people who are in fragile emotional states. Charging $175 a ticket. The people who recieved readings no where to be found after the show ! How does he live with himself?

[MrTrocheyoshi]

How John Edward became a douche - The story of a misconception.

[hmoorencs15]

Great thinking by Michael Shermer. For similar great thoughts try Dan Barker, John W. Loftus, Robert M Price, Valerie Tarico, Victor Stenger, Bart Ehrman, Ken Humphreys, Richard Carrier, Ken Pulliam, Keith Parsons, Gary Greenberg, Robert Ingersoll, Thomas Paine, Mark Twain, Earl Doherty, Israel Finkelstein, Daniel Dennett, C Dennis Mckinsey, Joseph Wheless, Bertrand Russell, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens

[MMbass420]

Anyone else hear that hes a giant douche?

[rosewater44512]

why didn't they show the whole reading????

[MMbass420]

@rosewater44512 Ive heard that his readings are like hours long with little yeild of "Correct" information

[th4397]

John Edward....the human potato.

[bcbobbie]

the report was a hatchet job, lets see Shermer do it then.

[DreamKing2]

@bcbobbie He did do it, here watch?v=jJTijWsfeq0&feature=re­lated

[chaoscleaner]

@bcbobbie Agreed. Shermer doesn't understand the process and doesn't want to.

[coolgreyoneabby]

@chaoscleaner Michael understand all too well how it works. Although Michael is not a magician, The amazing Randy IS a magician. He does this for a living and has run tests to prove there is no psychic ability in these guys. Randi has $1,000,000 prize fir anyone who can show any psychic ability. Randi still has his million bucks.

[chaoscleaner]

@coolgreyoneabby Randi has his million bucks because it's ALL on his terms. lol

Fine. Now explain "Channeling" Got any magicians that can do that? Didn't think so.

I speak of the accurate and genuine Channels, not the fakers of course.)

[coolgreyoneabby]

@chaoscleaner Randi's terms are controlled observation where trickery by known magician techniques (of which he is familiar) are eliminated. I can explain channeling to you. It is 100% bullshit. Same as ESP, telekinesis, magic, and any of a number of pseudo science that preys in the gullible. If you know anyone who can do it, take the million!

[chaoscleaner]

@coolgreyoneabby:I asked if any "magician could do Channeling" and you give me the answer that it's "B.S". LOL! I guess your answer means NO, eh?

Interesting the Police Depts have used the services of physics for years. . The military has used OOB, or "remote viewing" for years as well.

"preys on the gullible." People get "taken in" by many different schemes.

Maybe they have something to learn?

Randi's an arrogant, pompous, closed minded ass. With his own agenda.

[coolgreyoneabby]

@chaoscleaner Magicians can't do "real" channeling because no one can do real channeling.

[coolgreyoneabby]

@chaoscleaner You just don't like Randi because he challenges your cherished belief systems by calling out those who claim their bullshit is some real supernatural power.

[chaoscleaner]

@coolgreyoneabby: So, no "channeling" retort. Fine.

No. I haven't and don't like Randi, because he's a mediocure magician and a pompus ass.

When I discovered how closed minded he was, my opinion dropped to a new low.

Sorry. He's just a jerk.  So is Sylvia Browne.

[spacecowboy95]

@chaoscleaner "Randi has his million bucks because it's ALL on his terms"

No douchbag, they aren't his terms. They are just the standard observing conditions used to verify any claim.

Y'know, outrageous things like being asked to perform basic demonstrations and of the said paranormal skill and the ability to repeat it with consistency.

You guys just get bitter because reality constantly beats the shit out of you.

[frankmat]

@spacecowboy95 Hang on... did you say Randi's challenge is "Standard Observing conditions". Have you even bothered investigating the challenge? No of course not. There is nothing scientific about his Million Dollar Challenge. It is a farce.  Please don't start passing it off as anything to do with science.

It was a tool designed by Randi to allow skeptics to attack Psychics based on the fact no psychic in their mind would ever be stupid enough to apply for a no win situation.

[pochoclin77]

FAKE, classic cold reading!
