well I guess he wasnt silent, since he was the one giving the answers verbally, and me asking the questions mentally.But you specified complete silence. (How did he answer?) cn

You think wrong my friend, every time I spoke to him with my mind I was asking questions that needed detailed answers. The ones that did require a yes or a no answer would be backed up with explanations relating to my question.Ok, next time think of a multiplication... say, think about adding 117 and 203 to get 320. If you put that into your mind, and he says those 3 numbers in the same exact order, and you do this about 20 different times with different number combinations all adding up to a different sum... then yes, my skepticism would be satisfied and i would assume this person can read minds. But not fully, more tests would need to be done.
Instead... i think you may be asking yes or no questions towards your sly little friend, which can easily be answered with one word... yes, or no. Instead of 117 plus 203 equals 320, which would be much more difficult to guess than say... yes, or no.
I think someday you will be able to reflect on the deluded behavior contrived from emotional and sentimental feelings stemming from inner wants and psychological desires. Once you can get past these feelings and think with a rational mind, you may realize that you have much more power over who you are as an individual, and gain the ability to observe and critique the way your own mind works and operates.
Sticking your head in the sand won't make us concede your point. Either provide evidence, or proclaim it a belief, not a fact. What's the age old internet egging? "Pictures, or it never happened."? I think that's it. In this case, some empirical evidence. Not, "I saw so there." Not firing at you, just explaining why people are snickering all around.You think wrong my friend, every time I spoke to him with my mind I was asking questions that needed detailed answers.

I dont need to provide evidence for peer review for it to be real, how silly (even though all his friends experienced the same thing). Plus, how would I go about getting this evidence? Video tape the act of mind reading? You'll scream "FAKE" at that in a second and say we were acting. I wouldnt make my friend jump through hoops for something that I already know is real anyways... Im afraid the only way to convince you guys is if you go on the most educational field trip of your life and see it for yourself, be prepared to have your proud atheistic views shattered though... That might be tough to let go of...Sticking your head in the sand won't make us concede your point. Either provide evidence, or proclaim it a belief, not a fact. What's the age old internet egging?

I thought by now you'd have realized that even if your friend proves he could read minds, that it would not effect my feelings about god at all. Psychics, maybe; god, not at all.I dont need to provide evidence for peer review for it to be real, how silly (even though all his friends experienced the same thing).

I am not sure how someone being psychic would effect my rejection of theism. I am also not sure how someone who resists basic education, like the difference between atheist and skeptic, would be qualified to authenticate anything, especially psychic powers. You have shown that you are too busy tripping over your own prejudicial misunderstandings to properly comprehend reality, falling for a cold reading fits right into your profile.I dont need to provide evidence for peer review for it to be real, how silly (even though all his friends experienced the same thing).

Simply print this out, hand it to him, and have him fill in our names. How hard could this be? The reality is painfully obvious.

He doesnt even know you guys, he has absolutely nothing to relate to when looking at those names. And your acting like hes the master of the matrix and hes gunna use his master mind to navigate through time and space to look for people he knows absolutely nothing about lol Im sorry but it doesnt work like that, if it did then my friend would probably turn into some spiritual assassin and change the world. It doesnt work over vast distances either, if it did then me and him would be talking all the time about how oblivious and painfully wrong scientific skeptics are, because he'd know every time I thought about him.Heisenburg= ___________

Im afraid your only arguments are "Your lying or your crazy*. Peer review of his abilities has already been done multiple times, trickery or illusion doesnt fit in at all with the detailed explanations I've provided. Theres nothing to be done through internet communication to convince you of anything, like I said, save up some money for the most educational field trip of your life, it be worth it.
Methinks he has a very mistaken idea what the term peer-review encompasses along with the entirety of the scientific method and critical thinking.Who's peers?
I read a story from a teacher who got in trouble for failing a student that wasn't proficient enough to pass. They are actually punishing the teachers for stupid students being stupid and not making an effort to learn the information. That blew my mind, what kind of backwards ass principal or superintendent would approve that shit policy?! (probably one that didn't pass..)Methinks he has a very mistaken idea what the term peer-review encompasses along with the entirety of the scientific method and critical thinking.
it's so sad that people nowadays can actually graduate from high school with such a lack of understanding. They are supposed to learn this stuff in science classes or get a failing grade and try again.
It's a logical consequence of the No Child's Behind horse poop. They get funding for passing kids. cnI read a story from a teacher who got in trouble for failing a student that wasn't proficient enough to pass.

670 pages, this ought to be good...
"-improving the academic achievement of the disadvantaged
-preparing, training and recruiting high quality teachers and principals"
-so it's semantics? Improving the academic achievement of the disadvantaged by lowering the standards? What. The. Fuck? Absurd.
-preparing, training and recruiting high quality teachers? By punishing them for demanding effort and results? Who the fuck wrote this piece of shit up?
...lets check...
