If we can’t predict a giant hurricane’s path more than 4 days out, find a missing 777 for years, and other such things... why do people still believe in horoscopes? You share your horoscope sign with about 600 million people...

Any crazy stories out there?

Apparently it’s a new thing here in clubs mostly in liberal cities for girls to ask about your horoscope sign.

Bc it gives them a false sense of security knowing their destiny is already decided for them, a stress reliever for people who dont like to think very much. Ignorance is bliss and all that. Very similar to religion

Because people are morons and would rather believe that their lives are the way they are because of some big cosmic forces rather than their own horrible decision making.

b/c the fault lies not in themselves, but in their stars

No one that is intelligent actually believes in them.

Most look at them for entertainment value only.

You could be inspired to discuss spiritual matters. You might attend a church service and talk about prayer with the minister or priest. Or you could find yourself speaking about metaphysical subjects with a friend or family member. You are naturally intuitive, and you pick up on the deeper undercurrents of life. You might find that you have many interesting observations to share with others. Don't be shy about speaking up.


Nah, I was just gonna watch football

People believe on horoscopes but not vaccines.

As a species, we're pretty fricking stupid.

One of these is not a religion but an abusive organization who learned how to get out of ever paying taxes by threatening their way into the government seeing them as a religion.

Things are ok.

Butters is 12 now. Seeing his little grey muzzle now just makes me sad. Old man Butters is what I call him now.

The Mayans had a constellation called the copulating peccaries. Of course that's what the educated Mayans called it. The Mayan gumps called it the fricking pigs.
