Nostradamus

Do yo believe that his predictions were real?

No, people bend and twist things that happen(d) to conform to what he said(s)

Not at all. They're all so intentionally vague and can be twisted to mean such a myriad things I can't believe that he actually saw the future and wrote his quatrains with a specific event in mind.

Haha. Exactly what I thought, Steven.

I think Nostradamus was full of it. Like Aaron said, they are intentionally vague and unclear. If something happens, someone can say he predicted it. It's not so much that he predicted it, it's that you find what you want to see, and the prediction comes true. It's sort of like seeing Jesus in a piece of toast.
