Never have, never will be. Simply because how can one believe an invisible force will come down from the heavens and give you bad luck for, lets say stepping under a ladder.
It's physically impossible. What do you think?

I believe if I hump with someone, I'll get humped over. Because my luck sucks.
it feels good being a good person, even if the only reason you're being good is because you don't want bad karma to hump you over.
I used to be an immature brat, Jrmagic. When I was 9. Then I grew up.

Superstitious about...some things.
When I used to play sports in leagues, if I ever went on a cold streak I'd change things up. Wear different undershirts in hockey, change my pre-at-bat ritual in baseball...stuff like that. If I went on a hot streak, I'd keep things the same.
Now I kind of apply that to video games...if I start getting 0 kills 10 deaths every round, I'll change stuff around, what's on my desk, ya know, stuff like that.
EDIT: Oh, I believe in karma too.

If you know you did something bad, it can effect your mind and make you suffer one way or another.
It's called a conscience, not everything is so god damn literal.

It was hard to understand that with the new censor. But I got the jist of what you're saying. Thankfully.

I think that the whole superstitious thing is all womans excuses to force their husbands to do weird things.

I think if you believe in superstition, it seems to affect you more.
Say you do something wrong and you believe that you will be wronged. You almost wait for it to happen and notice it when it does happen. You tend to ignore all the good that has happened.
And then there's the whole subconscious stuff that could affect how you approach things.

That's not deep. That's basic analyzing. Z_z
I believe in Karma. It seems to work out for me. I very rarely do anything that would be considered rude in any way and I've not been faulted in a long time.
Superstitions.. Well, it gives people a bit of a reason as to why bad things happen.
You can't avoid stepping on all cracks... This kinda tells you in life something bad will always happen. You just have to take the good with the bad.

Karma is bound to be proven right in the sense that you can just put two things together that have happened and say it's karma, Jason.
It's like winning the lottery and then saying that being nice to an old lady got you the winning numbers while losing the ticket before cashing it in would be blamed on hitting your dog for being bad.
It's just a bunch of connections in the mind, I find it hard to believe that anything you do that's good or bad will bring anything more then what the effects of those certain actions would do.

Eh, bra, he be puttin da BIG whammy on you, mon.
I always toss salt over my shoulder when I spill some. Beyond that, I try not to be too superstitious, because I've had a rough time around mirrors in the shower.
Doing things that are superstitious and actually believing in them is two different things. Most know they are jut silly little things and wouldn't take them seriously if asked but will go out of their way to walk under a ladder or whatever.
Personally, that's what it's like with me, although I wont walk under a ladder for fear of knocking it over by mistake.

There's a logical explaination for everything, just it's easier to say "ghosts did it".
I believe if I hump with someone, I'll get humped over. Because my luck sucks.
Nah, that's cause and effect mate.

I don't believe in Karma, or luck, or any of that jazz. Everyone has problems, and the happiest people are those who know how to accept and deal with their problems without it affecting their life.
There are times when I seriously hope Karma is real though.

I think if you beleive in karma, you'll start to notice the things that happen to you more. Like, if you know you're doing something bad, you'll begin to pay more attention to the bad things that happen to you. Like if you steal something, then something bad happens to you, you'll blame it on karma even though several good things have happened. Y'know? And my teacher is really superstitious, which I find funny.
