Sexual Preference Not Changed By Woo-Hooing?
ZephyrZodiac:
I think I'd agree with that about Leos generally, but nevertheless, I like my sim Leos! Also, my brother-in-law is a Leo, and my sister assures me he has none of the Leo personality defects! They've been together for thirty years, so I guess she should know!)

That's how the palm-readers and fortune-tellers and the like make their money by the way. Everyone gives away tiny clues about themselves even without saying a single word. That, coupled with things that most people want to hear, and things that could fit just about everyone is the con-artists bread and butter.

I actually do Tarot readings for people, and while I am a pretty good psychologist I would never use that skill as a way of cold reading a person. I'm not interested in anything about the person before I meet them and only use my ability as an interpretor to answer questions they might ask the cards. If there's nothing there for 'em, then that's what I tell them whether they like it or not.

I'm actually a great believer in the quote: "There are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy!" Which means I keep a pretty open mind about most things.

Oh, I am not at all saying that these things are all bunk, but it is nevertheless an area that is frequently abused by charlatans. This is particulary revolting when those swindlers latch onto desperate people, the recently beraved, or the easily persuaded. There are too many things between heaven and earth that are unexplainable with simple logic (sorry JM) to close the mind. That's what my grandmother used to say, and she was not a stupid person, nor was she gullible.
The same goes for the quacks that proclaim themselves naturalistic healers, homeopathic therapists, etc. While there are quite a few very knowledgable and conscientious naturalistic health care providers, the field is also loaded with quacks out to make a quick buck of the desperate and the ill.
ZephyrZodiac:
It's really up to governments to provide some kind of licensing system so that the charlatans don't get a look-in!
I find it interesting that an awful lot of people used to deride acupuncture, and now they've virtually proved it's based on sound principals, since the acupuncture paths and the DNA paths are the same! And I know from personal experience it works, it just gets too expensive to keep it up, whereas medication in this country is free.
