if i told you that satan (his non-existent self!) created green envelopes,

Yes. Ouija board are extremely harmful if swallowed. They constitute a choking hazard.The SettingSun said:
Seriously, there are no spirits or whatever the fuckity fuck they say makes a Ouija board work. It's just and some other jerk sitting in a very uncomfortable position until your muscles start to spasm enough to moves that pointy thing. Then you just use confirmation bias or the Forer effect or a similar psychological phenomenon to make yourself think you've gotten some relevant reply. You didn't, though. It's all bullshit.
pretty much, and trying to get people to have a little bit more of an open mind is near impossible. Oh humans, we think we know everything.AngryMongoose said:
Not that I believe in ghosts, but still. Humans don't and can't know everything. For all we know there IS such a thing, and we are completely ignorant.
You can't completely rule it out, much like you can't completely prove it.
I used it to talk to the ghost of my grandpa so I send messages to him like "hi i am your grand son". Every day I would do that, but nothing would happen, i didn't give up though. I spent $50 on the thing.
Last week when i was doing it my 20th time, something weird happened. The room started to spin and small objects started to float so I was pretty scared, eventually the ghost of my grandpa must have listened because the board moved on its own and spelled out "stop bothering me".
So my advice is use it in moderation.

The only thing scary about Ouija boards is how bored you'll become and wonder why the hell you even bought it. If you really want to scare people, buy a deck of Tarot cards and play around with them. You don't have to know how to use them just to freak people out. Just don't misuse them. They are very beautiful and some well-crafted sets can be really expensive.
Ahhhhh, these people have obviously never worked with a large group of teenage girls. Nothing beats four panic attacks and a fistfight caused by a homemade ouji board, one that is just a piece of paper with letters drawn on, and then by the spirit that was brought in by it and won't leave because it loves to haunt the rock that was picked up within two blocks of the city cemetary and thus HAS to be a part of someones headstone.
Seriously though, the best part was when the 60 year old cynical old coworker said she couldn't believe they would invite devils into the building, and then the on site medical professional agreed.

It's dangerous only in as much as it plays into people's fears, superstitions and gullibility. While I don't think anyone can rule out the paranormal in general, I have great trouble having any faith in something that is still a trademarked board game.
It's not spirits you're communing with - it's just your own subconscious, through a well-documented phenomenon known as the psychomotor effect.
EDIT: If you're shopping for board games anyway, by the way, both Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit are great fun. So, y'know, they're more fun, more plausible, and much better value for money. Go for them instead. ;-)

Well at least it's better than that "old age" crap that constantly spews hate-filled fanatics that wave signs and act like it's the 17th century all over again.AngryMongoose said:

I don't even know why it's called "New Age" since Wicca is actually a different word for Paganism, and that pretty much was the first religion to have existed, and we gleefully celebrate one of their holidays every year. Which kind of makes Christians hypocritical and egotist because they claim it as a holiday of their origins. When it clearly is NOT. But that's why religion is flawed.
