NJ woman sues her psychic for $160,000 for bad predictions!

[redlight]

The woman could have spent $6 instead, (price of a movie ticket back in the 80's,) to hear Yoda say, "Hard to see. . . The future is always in motion."

OR she could have watched a decade plus of Star Trek and learned the past, present and future are happening all at once, and at the same time. And what she does in the present will affect/change the outcome of her future - which reinforces what Yoda said.

Or she could have watched Lost.

Evidence of the validity of the statement that a fool and his/her money are soon parted.

I drove by today and her open neon sign was not lit.

I feel bad for the psychic, there is no way she could have predicted such an outcome. Oh, wait... she is a psychic.

And this is why so many bogus (or perceived as bogus) lawsuits are settled.

Next time there is a group gripe about our legal system and cases regarding hot coffee or ridiculous warnings please remember that these cases settle because lawyers know that sympathetic jurors are out there . . . regardless of the stupidity of the plaintiff.

Regardless, I think there is a special place in Hell for people who take advantage of others' unhappiness and desperation in such a way. And I don't agree that the plaintiff was necessariy stupid; deperession and desperation can cause someone to do things they wouldn't consider under ordinary circumstances.

I agree, she really should have seen this coming.

I will have to remember this the next time I eat chinese and my fortune doesn't come true

A person I know got into a mess like this. The psychic was clearly taking advantage of her desperation and saying things like, "If you don't pay big bucks for this "spell", x y and z will happen" and this person was so afraid she did it. Thousands of dollars.

I think when someone is in it this bad, it's an addiction.

I don't think in general someone should be able to sue a psychic, but some of this stuff is bordering on extortion.
