If you have the worst luck in life, you wouldn't be alive.

seeandsee · 02-02-2012, 07:18 AM

Yes, i do! Because sometimes without luck your are done!

KaliC · 02-02-2012, 08:53 PM

Not really, I believe in opportunity.

BIGTYMER · 02-02-2012, 09:54 PM

Karma is a bitch!

xato · 02-03-2012, 01:01 AM

I dont believe in luck when you look at it as "fate" or "karma".
I believe in luck when you look at it like this (simplyfied):
For every event with two possible outcomes the total probability is 100%.
So if one outcome has the given probability of 30% (lets say a bad one) and the other one has 70% (lets say a good one) it means that your chance is 3/10 of hitting the one or 7/10 of hitting the other.

Now if you are in the 3/10 group it doesnt mean that fate or karma treated you badly and punish you for whatever reason.
It just means that you were unlucky, because eventually 30 of the 100 people have to be unlucky by the rules of the given probability of 30/70.

Of course people who are in the 30% group will find reasons to blame being unlucky on god, fate, karma whatever. But thats just human to try to reason everything. In reality many things are just a matter of probability. A certain chance to a possible outcome. Nothing more than that. And some events with a very low chance of 1 to 1 million would have 311 "losers" or "winners" (depending on the event) in the USA. Now you would guess that with such a low chance, those 311 people would find tons of reasons why it hit them. In fact its - again - just probability.
Not fate, not god, not karma.

Thats what "Luck" is for me.

Believing in luck is just as retarded as believing in karma or date.

Just stupid theories for stupid people who for some reason want to think there is more in life. They can't figure out what so they come up with this crap.

I kind of agree but it sucks when some people constantly end up losing in that 30 % "unlucky" group. And others continuosly "win". Of course it's not karma or fate etc. And you can always fight your way to the "lucky" group. But we still can call it being lucky and not lucky

I never made any claims. All I did was point out that YOUR claim was merely an opinion, since it's not provable one way or another. It's a pointless debate, and i've had it before so I have no desire to elaborate.

epitome · 02-03-2012, 04:06 AM

I don't believe in luck, but I believe some people have the ability to constantly be moving in a way that provides them with great opportunity.

Also, those who are willing to take more chances usually appear "lucky" to those who don't.

nextri · 02-03-2012, 04:10 AM

It's not pointless. I does get pointless when the good old "why don't you prove that it doesn't exist" card gets pulled.

It always the not so bright who do this.

Rochard · 02-03-2012, 09:47 AM

My father died when I was nine months old, yet somehow I still manged to become a US Marine, get a college degree, and go to be a general manager of a department of Playboy. I'm married with one child. That's what I call luck.

When I was thirty I discovered I was Irish. Because my father died when I was a baby, I had no idea what nationality my father was. Now it all makes sense.

Mutt · 02-05-2012, 05:29 AM

there is 'luck' and 'karma' in life but it's not some supernatural force - what people do and what people think contributes to 'luck' and 'karma'. when bad things happen to a shitty person people will say 'karma's a bitch!' when what happened is that shitty people do things that eventually get themselves in trouble.

but it's a real conceit of anybody to dismiss the possibility that there is more to this world than what we know today through science - because we have nobody or nothing else to compare ourselves to we consider ourselves as a species to be smart. bullshit, we are ignorant and we are dumb. we can't even stop ourselves from decaying and dying in 70 years which is a blink of an eye in time. people who claim nothing else exists are as silly and ignorant as people who claim there's a bearded old man sitting on a throne in the sky that created us. neither can be proven.

if this planet and man still exist in a thousand years they will look at us the same way we look at people a thousand years ago who believed the world was flat.

if one of us could travel back in time a thousand years and show the most brilliant men that existed at that time one of our little gadgets like the iPhone they'd be in awe and most likely conclude that we were the Messiah. well we're no different today than those simpletons.
