Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.
School District to Pay $600,000 Over Death of Teens Who Were Hypnotized by Principal

Leave it to Florida to ignore the fact that one of the kids was probably driving while hopped up on anesthesia and the other two suffered from depression. Also the fact that they think hypnosis is a legitimate thing.

The father of one of the kids actually posted a comment on the original article:

"Hey Thomas Gorecki, it amazes me you know so much about Marcus Freeman 's case. I'm his father (the one that paid for two investigations) 1 for the dental procedures, and 1 for the school board, and it was never told to to me that it was a dental issue that caused his death. I assure you that we never made a claim before we could prove it. As far as what is done with the money, that's not of your business, but I assure you it won't be used the way you think."

I wish I had the balls to reply to the father. Maybe I could build up the courage under hypnosis!

Can confirm. I'm here now and it's way too loving real.

For instance, I just heard there's a bill in the house to make it illegal to have a gun range in your yard. People are mad about not being able to fire guns towards their neighbors.

a license to do what?

the summer fair around here has a hypnotist show, I'm p sure that if you were a volunteer and then later that day crashed your car it wouldn't be the hypnotists fault and I'm also p sure the carnie hypnotist has no medical license.

What's the difference between hypnosis for entertainment and hypnosis for therapy? Either way it isn't actually a real thing - it's just the patient/participant going along with it. There's a reason it 'doesn't work on everyone.'

Therapeutic hypnosis is the same as teaching someone to just be zen and stop tripping out all the time. It's not actually impairing your judgement or altering your brain chemistry. Dollars to donuts that girl killed herself because of college/academic pressure if she was so stressed out about her SAT that she needed the principal to try hypnosis to help her out (also her friend dying in a car crash), not because of hypnosis.

If I'm reading that right 2 of the 3 deaths weren't even on the same day as a hypnosis session so........ unless the allegation is the principal was a serial killer purposefully implanting that poo poo in their heads like it's a 90s TV show idk how he could possibly be at fault.

never said he was at fault for them dying lol, that doesn't mean he can't be on the hook for other poo poo tho

you can't run lil therapy sessions out of your office unless you're a licensed mental health counselor in florida whether or not the therapy sessions work

nah, FL just has a special snowflake hypnosis law because it's FL

quote:

It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in the practice of hypnosis for therapeutic purposes unless such person is a practitioner of one of the healing arts, as herein defined, or acts under the supervision, direction, prescription, and responsibility of such a person.

At worst you could get him for that and for running an unlicensed therapy session but obv someone thinks the school district is ultimately at fault for the deaths since they are paying out such a huge fine.

The comments on the original article just keep getting better.

quote:

Hypnosis is real and can be extremely dangerous when practice by a irresponsible person. I assisted a friend of mine with exibitions five years ago because he was not fluent in English. He can hypnotize nearly anyone with a snap of a finger and make that person be totally under his control. It is real.

quote:

John Meinhofer "He can hypnotize nearly anyone with a snap of a finger and make that person be totally under his control." Yes, it's very real, BUT NOT EVERYONE CAN BE HYPNOTIZED. I myself wasn't gullable for SCAMMSTER MARSHAL SYLVER'S "Power, Profits & Passion" seminar; but was shocked at the number of '$heeple' who fell under his $pell. In fact, i got my full $1500.00 back after requesting a full refund. But this was AFTER i found all the disgusting dirt online about him

And then he keeps spamming this in every comment.
