For example, before the nature of comets was revealed by scientific investigation, they were held as omens (for either good or bad) and as such helped launch a few wars as well as secure power for the priests & shaman who claimed to understand the phenomenon.:cocktail: :cup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infamous Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Infamous: Turtle pretty much summed it up, but if you want to move it that's fine with me.Your first post had nothing to do with Social Sciences ughaibu, on the other hand, Turtle presented us with a few good examples. Nevertheless, you were the orginator of this thread and as such, should offer us a few examples of your own.....................Infy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell us something about the social effects and or reasons why people view this date as an Omen.................................Infy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ughaibu Posted October 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 The question is "why?" Friday the 13th is integrated in the calender, it is necessarily followed by Saturday the 14th, and as Turtle pointed out, sequences included predecessors too. No day exists in isolation.

infamous Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Infamous: Thanks, and it's no problem for me if you move the thread, whatever you think best is fine by me.We'll leave it here for the time being ughaibu, I'm just concerned about maintaining the integrity of the forum and concentrating our thoughts on serious discussion relative to Social Science. A little witt and sarcasm are always permitted as long as the focus and context of the forum is not lost in the exchange. We have a place where witt and sarcasm can be freely expressed without intervention so long as forum rules are not breached. That place is the Watercooler. Once again, thank you for your cooperation....................Infy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theblackalchemist Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 13 is an unlucky number . NO WAY ! it just reflects the primitive man's capacity to think !when man learned to count he had 5 + 5 = 10 fingers and considering 2 units as his feet it would make 12 . after that was 13 which was frightning .thats why 13 is an unlucky no to the closed minds( I came across this in a book :naughty: )cheersTBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
