jazz...you posted on the second page...:P

secondly...i know no one really cares, but i'd just like to re-emphasize that i meant absolutely nothing by starting this thread in the paranoia section. i guess philosophy would have been ok, but there's no paranormal section, so i figured here was a somewhat relevant place...and besides, it doesn't have much going on...moving along...

there's no need to say that other posters are closed minded simply because they don't believe the same things you do. if you refuse to see the validity of the scientific arguments, you're not being any more open minded, really...and yes, arguing a subject like this is just as bad as arguing religion - cause it's faith based. it's not scientific, although there are certain patterns that may be observed or systems that may be employed when using it...at most, it's a pseudoscience. as the experiments that ustwo posted prove, when tested, it fails. period.

however, as shauk posted...people have accused him of acting like a "typical taurus". don't wanna get too personal, but lemme guess: stubborn, standoffish, maybe even a little self-centered? of course those are the negative things, and those are usually what people bother to point out...

i have noticed that certain elements of astrology apply to myself as well. i don't think it's because they're so general or vague because, as onesnowyowl said earlier, charts aren't vague. they are much more specific than predictive astrology and the highly generalized sun sign astrology. of course, they are full of contradictions, but aren't people too?

i just don't understand how something that is so nonsensical (let's face it: the alignment of planets when you're born and NOT conceived, for whatever reason...actually influences your personality? ridiculous) can be eerily accurate, to the point when people actually recognize patterns in the way others behave.
