I did suffer from depression for a while, to say that anyone who's been through that is mentally ill is absolute ignorance. Not to mention how LOW.

(But the meds might have worked, yeah, I didn't end up telling people Charles Manson is a cool guy with a great message to the world.)

You're lucky you're not dealing with someone who's IN FACT mentally ill or emotionally unstable because that would make you a really disgusting person - if it doesn't already.

Now, let me tell you: meds work. You should try. And I'm not even joking, you should. You could use some help, that much is clear.

Until then, I won't be engaging in any more conversations with you. You're clearly not capable of having them. Still, all the best.

Is depression a physical issue? NO, it's a mental issue. Sorry.

I'm sorry...I call it like it is, you call it like it isn't...ghosts + false assumptions regarding other people's lives.

Pain meds aren't issued for depression for good reason.

+ I am quite disgusting...just like you and everyone else.

I have a healthy relationship, my own place, a decent job I've maintained for years, I pay my own bills and buy my own cigarettes...I'd say I'm doing fairly well. Thanks.

Do I know Ghosts and God aren't real? Yes, until one iota of objective information is presented about them they remain an unknowable concept/theory. Not a part of reality in any manner. On the same level of reality as Alice in Wonderland. These fucking morons on here actually think that ghosts, god and souls are real. That is fucking ridiculous man!

God damn! 2010 and this is where we are at??


i don't really believe in ghosts either but i was just pointing out that you contradicted yourself saying that you are an honest man that "does not know" one way or the other. in fact you seem to be fairly certain that they don't exist and you seem to be having fun riling up folks on your very tiny bully pulpit.

I know there is no objective evidence for ghosts. There is no way to prove that you or I or anything really exists if we dig deep enough. But come on... we don't have to go that fucking existential to prove that I'm not a cunt do we? hahahah

themawt71 10.15.2010 03:04 PM

ha ha

knox 10.15.2010 03:06 PM

You ARE a cunt. And not very good at it.

If you cannot prove or disproof something - then you do not know.
If you swear by something you cannot prove or disproof - it's an act of faith, not evidence.

You claim to be agnostic, then you claim to be a little bit agnostic, then you do some selective reading and continue repeating the same bullshit like you know so much about things you clearly never bothered researching.

So you're just as annoying and preachy as a Jesus freak.

hevusa 10.15.2010 03:07 PM

way to ruin a good laugh...


oh wait, you are the good laugh!

I am agnostic and you are crazy. I feel sort of bad for you.

knox 10.15.2010 03:08 PM

aw, sorry.

I guess you're still not capable of understanding what agnostic means?

Not to believe, not to disbelief, to simply say: I do not know (The UNKNOWN or UNKNOWABLE).

That's what it means. If you're saying "I know" then you're not agnostic.

I mean, everyone has mentioned the contradiction already.

I don't know if the tiny, pink, invisible elephant that lives in your refrigerator exists because like ghosts.... and follow me here knox... there is no way to know that. Is the elephant or ghosts real? FUCK NO!!!! You would have to be mentally ill to think that.

We can do this over and over again if you are still having a hard time grasping reality (which you seem to be doing).

No offense, but you keep saying the same thing about how we're all so quick to dismiss all these 'facts' we're faced with.

But... uh... unless I missed something (and that is certainly possible!), what 'facts' about ghosts has anyone dismissed?

keep poppin pimples 10.15.2010 05:44 PM

since hevusa has set a precedent for urbandictionary as unimpeachable and objective evidence, here is some absolute proof for the existence of ghosts


ghost 357 up, 149 down


1) The discarnate soul of a deceased human being or animal still occupying the physical realm. These spirits may or may not know that they are dead. They can also be called forth.
2)Residuals.
3)A demon, angel, saint, or Christ Himself.
4)A poltergeist.
There are actually many kinds of ghosts, but to name them all and give definitons would be impossible, due to a limit of space.

The kind of human or animal ghost that is an actual sentient being is called an apparition. Many of these beings are restless because they do not know that they have passed on due to unexpected events that ended their lives, or believe they have unfinished business to attend to. Many occupy places they frequented during life. Some do know that they are dead, and may come back for reasons of revenge, or to comfort or warn a loved one of some kind of impending disaster, or to lead them to some fortune or treasure. Others just like to hang around and see what's going on with other people. The ghosts who do the same things over and over again are the ones who don't know that they are dead, and are actually prisoners of their own minds: It may be the year 2006, but in the mind of the ghost of a person who died 100 years ago and didnt expect or realize it, it's still 1906 and he's still trying to perform whatever action he was preoccupied with when he died. They can also be called forth by seances and Ouija boards, but you better know what you're doing when you call forth a spirit. If you're poorly prepared, if not at all, you could bring upon yourself some really weird and terrifying results that will not go away. It has happened, people.
2)A residual is a ghost that has no intelligence behind its actions. It acts just like a ghost trapped in its own mental prison of time, the difference being that a residual is psychic energy imprinted on the fabric of time and space, stress ...

Quoted for truth.

The main fact is that I said I wasn't willing to discuss it at all.
Another fact is that nobody here is willing to discuss anything, more like looking for opportunities to be an idiot. Next time you claim to be something, please make sure you know what this something means.

How far can the pink elephant go? Why is it in the fridge?

I had burger and chips and then the conversation got too good - talking about Gavin Rossdale's hair highlights - and a few espressos were ordered, and now I feel like Iggy Pop in that film about coffee or something.

Well, I was kind of referring to 'facts' about ghosts, not of the ins and outs of the thread itself.

I don't think I've claimed to be anything but a skeptic, and I'm fairly certain I have a good grasp as to what that means. Maybe you're referring to someone else?
