We've all heard of them. 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, soon to be the 11th year next year. But the 11:11 part of that supersition is actually a good thing, as they say when that's on Veteran's day, you're technically supposed to hold a moment of silence on 11:11 for those who have fought and died in wars and things like that.



I remember in January of 06, we had 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. I forgot what that meant, to be honest.



And then, of course, there're are the bad ones. Like all those Halloween ones you've heard of, or whatever.



To an extent, a lot of the superstitions (like the bad ones) I never really did believe in those, as when someone comes up with a bad superstition, you know it's not real or it's not gonna happen, so there's no need to get worked up. I have, however, seen people in real life go overboard with these things, and with the bad ones they take all these precautions they wouldn't take normally. The bad ones can be fun if you just want to make a game out of it or something, but I don't believe you should take it seriously, though. Usually they're just jokes or games. Not the vetaran's day one, of course.



How do you feel about these kinds of things?



I didn't know whether to put this in general discussion or life, as they can most certainly apply to both, so the administration can move this topic if necessary.
 
Seeing as how this is not just about your life I think it's in the right place...



Anyhow, superstitions are fun!

Very good story elements...

I agree, some superstitions can be fun to talk about, But superstitions are like rumors, though. You don't want to go on about them too long or it could possibly turn into a rumor. So like a rumor, I'm sure there are probably cases where you have to know when to draw the line and drop it before it gets too out of control.
 
Are you saying we should put up wards to ward off the homeless guy Sci showers with? (just an example

What????????????????// I mean, it's okay to do superstitions, but like I said, they could be kind of like rumors as well, where you may have to know when to drop it. Thankfully, though, there aren't too many superstitions that can spark up trouble, and they usually only happen once a year, so petty ones are okay.
 
I don't believe in any of them, although I do makes wishes at 11:11..

If you don't believe in any of them, then why do you make wishes at 11:11?

I'm not a superstitious person but they do make for some good movies/stories.
 
yes, i do believe in superstitions. And i was very ill once and it seemed all kind of medicines failed to work. my parents had no alternative but was refered to a witch whom told my mum to follow her suggestiosn. And somehow, two days later i was recovering.
