    Wrong, its only because the US hasn't decided to use them.

    How many people did those countries kill with their bombs compared to America?

    The US saved more lives than it took with the 2 atomic bombs it dropped. The two atomic bombs that it dropped killed less than a conventional bombing raid could have.

    The US could not predict the future and therefore has no way to know whether they saved more lives.

    WW2 was killing on average 31 000 people per day. You don't think that number was magically going to drop to 0 if the bombs weren't dropped, do you?

    You cannot predict the future. You disbelieve that people can predict the future yet here you are, saying the future can be predicted.

    Actually, I did point out times when you can, such as planning things, including war.

    You see, invading Japan would not have killed less than 200 000 people. This means that the atomic bombs killed less people than they saved.

    Killing innocent people is not a justification. And anyway, this is a discussion for another thread.

    Seriously, I think you have been overdosing on the script of the X men, a little too much.:aww:

    You don't hold back discoveries or refuse to confirm fantastic claims, on the chance that maybe they could be misused somehow.

    If everyone had that outlook, we would never have made any advances, and all new discoveries would have been kept secret, just on the off chance that the discovery could be used for ill ends.

    If you are going to make claims in public of this type, then you should be prepared to back them up.

    Sorry, this sound like BS.

    If you were part of an underground community who's primary concern is anonymity, you wouldn't be telling anyone about it, much less people on this forum.

    You are very lucky the rules of the forum prevent people from responding to this claim with the force it deserves...

    However a la PT Barnum, a few people will find your claims credible, much like they find excuses for these credible, no matter how convoluted.

    Good luck with that.

    You could move an eyelash with the tiniest of breaths. There is no way to prove your mind is doing it.

    Have you realised how they try to move light things, or light things balanced on things? Why don't they ever move a Jumbo jet?

    I'd at least like to see someone try to move something as heavy as a book. I guess the claim goes, the heavier the object, the more concentration it takes to make it move. Or something.

    I could make allowances for gravity. It takes more energy to physically lift a heavier object, therefore taking more energy to mentally lift a heavier object makes logical sense.

    But the fact is none of these demonstrations have taken place outside of a controlled environment. If they can move light/balanced things in a studio, come on, a feather or piece of paper outside the studio, on request, should be a cinch.

    To the very best of my knowledge, there is no creature alive, nor has there ever been, that could somehow move anything with thought alone.

    There is NO precedence, there is not a shred of proof.

    When called out, those that make claims, suddenly they clam up, or are part of some underground society, lol...:spin:

    I have to request video evidence of this. I find it hard to believe you moved a vehicle all by yourself!!!!

    No.

    I can't.

    I am part of a secret underground cabal.

    Said too much already.

    I move things with my mind all the time: my mind tells my hand to grab remote control...channels change...magic!
