Answer 2

Here is part of Carl Sagan's Baloney Detection Kit
Based on the book "The Demon Haunted World: Science as a candle in the dark" published by Headline, 1996. See the link for the rest since it is rather long.

o Wherever possible there must be independent confirmation of the
facts.
o Encourage substantive debate on the evidence by knowledgeable
proponents of all points of view.
o Arguments from authority carry little weight (in science there are no "authorities").
o Spin more than one hypothesis - don't simply run with the first idea that caught your fancy.
o Try not to get overly attached to a hypothesis just because it's yours.
o Quantify, wherever possible.
o If there is a chain of argument every link in the chain must work.
o "Occam's razor" - if there are two hypothesis that explain the data equally well choose the simpler.
o Ask whether the hypothesis can, at least in principle, be falsified (shown to be false by some unambiguous test). In other words, it is testable? Can others duplicate the experiment and get
the same result?

Additional issues are
o Conduct control experiments - specially "double blind" experiments where the person taking measurements is not aware of the test and control subjects.
o Check for confounding factors - separate the variables.

Answer 3

Mostly just entertainment. But there is a fascination with it that makes you keep coming back to check up on it. Then there are times when it is dead on right. Mostly, just keeping with the mood days, like if I'm going to have a b****y day or a productive work- a- holic day.

Answer 4

Entertainment. Just believed in what you believed, and if you don't like what you read, ignore it and moved on. It's not a complete waste of time to me.

Answer 5

Personally I just like to read it for fun, it usually is pretty accurate for me, but it doens't necessary mean that things are going to happen like they say it will/will not etc...
If people don't care much for it then its a waste of their time, but if i like to read it then it is not waste of my time.

Answer 7

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it.
Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held.
Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books.
Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin.
Believe nothing just because someone else believes it.
Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true
