Here is an interesting blog that I found that I think would have made Debunker proud. It discusses a rationale explanation for how curses work. I don't know if which way I lean on curses but here is the article and I would be interested to hear what everyone else thinks.

Even if the bad luck, the nasty occurrences, or whatever are self-imposed, they are still real. Many of them can be countered based on the faith or disbelief of the victim; a few cannot. Oftentimes, these things are discounted as "coincidences", but has anyone else noticed that these "coincidences" just happen to start occurring after a curse has been placed?

It's about as much a coincidence as a drunkard hitting back after getting smacked in the face.

I said real.

I know this for a fact.

Hey, I haven't seen Debunker here since I got back. Did something bad happen to him?

It's too bad, too... There really is a lot of bunk out there that needs people like him paying attention to it. It's unfortunate that he thought there was no truth to ANY of what we were doing, but people like him are still needed, from time to time...

I mean, I can't exactly find the time to go out and debunk (and verify) things if I'm raising a family and fighting demons all the time. ~.~;

I may not have his knack for it, but I am quite happy to spend my time chasing wild geese, as long as I get some information out of the deal.

Like that dybbuk do not like EMF fields of 7 tesla or higher, pulsed at a 15 Hz frequency. Don't ask me why, I just observed results, and have not been able to replace the subject since.

Hey, he was great for getting into those deep, philosophical discussions. "The reality of the mind" sort of thing. Will kind of scoffed at his theories, though. Hey, you can't make everyone happy.

True, that part did get irritating real fast... I never had the (dis)pleasure of experiencing that personally to my face, but I can imagine...

Still, the world needs more people who'll point out that not every strange occurrence is happening because of paranormal this or metaphysical that... Sometimes it really is little more than what it seems.

Right...but you're one of the more level-headed people here, Ron. You understand that there are both paranormal and mundane reasons for everything.

There're far too many people in our line of work who believe that everything has to have a paranormal cause...

Would that remark be leveled at anyone in particular?

Not really, no. In part 'cuz most of those I could mention aren't posting a whole lot at the moment, and in another part so that, should most of them come back, I don't have a war on my hands.

You're not on the list, in case you're wondering.

Didn't think I was, but I was wondering who you meant, thou I do have an Idea or two. You are of course right any further comment would only start problems we don't need.

I think part of it is that most of us don't bother to post the events that turn out normally. I know that the larger part of my work is just setting up security systems and taking pictures of morons cheating on their spouses. There is not much excitement in background checks either.

But sometimes the "Scooby Doo" endings are good for a laugh.

Hey, the pedophiles can be pretty funny! Just throw them over the fence into a prison, and watch the hilarity ensue!

There're two things that most convicts can't stand...and that's rapists and child molesters. So, you have to kind of help the comedy along, but it is there!

Now why would I tke them to prison? That means I have to put up with them in the car for hours. It mans I have to wash all that icky stench out of the car. That means I have to touch them.


I let my .40 touch them instead.
