Based purely on life experience...

1,2,5,7 - yes

Quite likely - 10

[Caran]

All of them!

[Canary42]

My number one belief is :-

1 - Such polls are all rigged.

I would like to see the comparisons here. For instance, it is entirely possible that the same people that believed in ghosts, also believed in a Sixth sense, or perhaps Demons ( whatever they are ! )

Also, anybody that believes in Astrology, is almost certainly going to think that UFO's are real as well.

Bit of a non-article if you ask me.

[NoMercy]

I believe in 1, 4 & 5. The rest is just codswallop in my opinion.

[naomi24]

Mikey, //anybody that believes in Astrology, is almost certainly going to think that UFO's are real as well. //

I don't understand the connection you’re making between the two. Could you explain?

[ummmm]

1,2,3,7.

[berniecuddles]

nope none of them

[Tilly2]

Mikey, did you mean Astronomy rather than Astrology?

[Svejk]

i took it to mean if people are daft enough to believe in astrology they'll believe anything.

[Tilly2]

Ah, I see now. Thank you, sweety.

[Svejk]

2,4,6,8,,,,,

[ToraToraTora]

I wil be keeping a link to this for use in later arguments. No names but some above have now lost any credibility in future arguments!

[ToraToraTora]

not true mikey, I believe aliens exist 100%, it is statistically certain, I also know for a 100% fact that we will never have any contact with them.

[naomi24]

TTT, //I also know for a 100% fact that we will never have any contact with them [aliens]. //

A bold claim. How can you be so certain?

[Old_Geezer]

Because he doesn't believe in FTL travel ?


I believe in life after love, but one needs to be sure one makes a quick exit.

naomi 22:54 Friday 28 March telling me to speak my mind - OK naomi, I've had experience of UFO's and three ghostly experiences in an old building I used to work in, one of the experiences was witnessed by another person as well as myself !

[viv38]

Re. the UFO experience, I was with a friend at the time and he witnessed what I did as well.

[mikey4444]

Naomi...Svejk has it right. In fact I would go further and say that a firm belief in any of the above list would probably mean that you would believe in pretty well anything. A phrase with a box full of frogs comes to mind !

Out of them all, Astrology is the biggest load of tosh. Astrology is completely made up. It has no basis in fact or science whatsoever. In order to think the subject has some merit would mean that you had discarded your intellect.
