Know thyself
Not at all. I simply didn't appreciate the poster calling everybody who didn't agree with him 'ignorant'.
Then we agree. Such offensive language is unnecessary.

I agree, but some folks can only learn that for themselves.
They've been warned by a number of posts, what else can you do?
The Ouija board is not a game.
Considering that most stores do not have an "Occult" department and that Parker Brothers market the Ouija board as a toy, retailers think categorizing it with toys is okay. It's not.
How can anyone seriously hand a Ouija board to a bunch of kids so they can summon dead Grandpa Joe or an unknown entity?
There are things in this world that should NOT be played with as a toy and this is one of them.

I'm amazed at the utter mental retardation in this thread. Honestly, how can people believe in this shit?
And gsdx, I'm so spooked out by Ouija boards that I'd prefer NOT to visit any Ouija specifc websites.
If there is something about the history you'd like to share, then please do.
During the late 1800s, planchettes were widely sold as a novelty. The businessmen Elijah Bond and Charles Kennard had the idea to patent a planchette sold with a board on which the alphabet was printed. The patentees filed on May 28, 1890 for patent protection and thus had invented the first Ouija board. Issue date on the patent was February 10, 1891. They received U.S. Patent 446,054. Bond was an attorney and was an inventor of other objects in addition to this device. An employee of Kennard, William Fuld took over the talking board production and in 1901, he started production of his own boards under the name "Ouija".[3] The Fuld name would become synonymous with the Ouija board, as Fuld reinvented its history, claiming that he himself had invented it. The strange talk about the boards from Fuld's competitors flooded the market and all these boards enjoyed a heyday from the 1920s through the 1960s. Fuld sued many companies over the "Ouija" name and concept right up until his death in 1927. In 1966, Fuld's estate sold the entire business to Parker Brothers, who continues to hold all trademarks and patents. About ten brands of talking boards are sold today under various names.[3]
And for comparison gsdx, how many "experiences" have you had with Monopoly and Scrabble?
