nostradus hoax

[que90nek]

let's be careful what we believe.

my understanding is that nostradamus died in 1566...this supposed prediction supposedly occurred in the 1600's.

The internet is the LAND of hoaxes that's for sure.

Can you believe people are STILL forwarding e-mails trying to get a Honda, or coupons from Vicky Secrets. :confused:

I wonder who had so much time on their hands that they needed to start this one for no other purpose than to scare people. :rolleyes:

...maybe Nostradamas' posse kept his spirit alive by re-invent quotes and attributing them to him. And maybe not.

a freind of mine was really trippin be hind this. yet she is a devout catholic. i pointed out to her how the bible tells us a whole lot of prediction and it makes no sense that we believe an email prediction quicker than anything else, simply, because, it was forwarded to you by a freind and they believe it enough to forward to you.

folks need to think for themselves and use their intelligence to decipher between this type of mess.

isn't this why we go to school? even my son, in the 1st grade, is training his reasoning method in math. it starts so young and so basic.

I posted to this last night in the "The Attack" thread.

Apparently, people are enthralled with the fact that this was somehow predictable.

I don't let myself get too drawn in with soothsaying or derivatives of this type thing which is exactly what all of those emails are doing.

Not only are those things HOAXES they are tools to get people hooked into believing or becoming followers of supernatural activities such as fortune tellers (Nostradamus' quatrains), numerology and biorhythms (placing signifigance on the date or counting the number of letters in certain words, etc) .
