sorry if my awesomeness is to much for generalites.

How would I disprove it, when it is patently true. I myself have seen Hindoo brahmins levitate a meter high for up to three minutes! And an old magyar elder once rose up 50 ft in a sleepy little village near Temesvar that I had the pleasure of visiting, so the men swear.

Darwin must be rolling his grave right now.

No, I don't think Darwin was ever initiated into the secret post-mortem levitation-ventriloquism sects of the shaolin monks of spain.

Characterized by their satellite dish-shaped heads which, by the science of phrenology, allow them to receive radio signals from dead spirits so that their bodies can be animated by anyone selected after death.

Come on people, this is OBVIOUS trolling. It just wants attention. Stop feeding it and it will leave.

Oh psh give away the whole thing, why won't you >:( You can bet Grand Master Lobsang de Zapatero will hear of this, in fact I hear the acolytes are already setting up the transmitter.

Sorry, I bumped my nose today, and the temporary flattening of my nose lowered my intelligence and prevented me from remembering not to talk about that. That's why Negros can't keep jobs, you know. Hey, it's phrenological science; you can't question science.

It seems like whenever the OP says anything about homosexuality, the entire thread goes on a tangent about it. Lets keep that banter here.
I, personally, find this to be a load of bullshit.

I disagree that this is likely a "medical condition", then again, I wouldn't totally discount the posibility. After all, I'm certain that sympathizers of the trans-gendered consider it as having a medical condition. Also, the proponents of "the gay gene" would say it's a medical truth, I imagine.
I'm going to stick with my theory of as yet undiscovered environmental progressions upon the personality.

The Shao-Lin of Thibet are unfortunately not acquainted with levitation, at least to my knowledge; the Spaniards are also divorced from the levitation tradition. Though the Brahmin dwell near to the Thibetans, they are ever at each others' throats and of two diametrically opposed traditions. Such it is and has always been between the darker traditions of Hindooism and the benevolence of the Buddha's teachings.

An interesting tidbit: when I was lodged near Hyderabad during my travels, I had the occasion to meet with many Magi of Zarathustra's teachings; much they taught me of their faith and ways, and it seems they lie in the intermediate between the two extremes of the Hindoo faith and the Buddhist. They are rather of a temperate nature, as their skull attests; hence they particularly excel at their task.

I have seen proof towards that - the skull of Oscar Wilde was analyzed and found notoriously flattened in the cranial regions - a sign of depravity. Proof enough for ya?

1. *A* gay person allegedly (the claim is not sourced) had a partially flattened skull.
2. This signifies depravity.
:. Therefore gays are depraved and phrenology is correct.

I don't even know what kind of logical fallacy this is.

The man has now claimed that he's seen people levitate 50 ft in the air. The man has claimed he was personally taught Zoroastrianism by Magi - in India, no less. He's claimed that he's seen the skull of Oscar Wilde. And people still respond to him seriously? You actually dissected and scrutinised his post. Wow @ this forum.

And no. It's not a medical condition - it's someones sexuality. Which is completely their business and no one elses.

Just because he's a liar and probably a troll doesn't mean debating him can't be at least somewhat gratifying.

He's not a "liar"; he's not even pretending to make sense, or trying to convince anyone. He's joking. Gratuitiously to amuse himself. And his trollings pretty good - good enough to be considered satire. So I hope the Mods give him a pass.

But hey, you do your thing.

Zoroastrianism is yet practiced in India (and India pretty much exclusively) by over 100,000 devotees!

I haven't personally seen Wilde's skull, but certain friends of mine have, and I conversed with them for hours on the phrenology of his head and the state of his mind. Many of the far-fetched theories and hypotheses people have had regarding that fascinating man we proved false with a cranial inspection.

The Magyars, in the rural lands where their indigenous culture has not disappeared entirely, yet practice "Felemelkedés" - levitation. Their most revered elders still carry out this incredible deed on their greatest pagan holiday, Szellemekanapforduló (the Solstice of Spirits).

It's as much a medical condition as left-handedness is.

Left-Handedness is an abomination unto the lord.
