Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vampires are fictional. They are not real. Therefore for someone to call themself a vampire would be idiotic.





You can't "know that" about a vampire. Since they are fictional, anything is possible. Hell, I could write a book about vampires that only need to drink blood once a year, and no one could say it's not true because vampires themselves aren't true.

Even if someone wore black and dyed their hair black (I realize not all vampires do this, ut it's the day-to-day stereotype), even if they have super-pale skin and are sensitive to snlight, and even if they get red contacts and have their teeth sharpened, and even if they're one of the people that need blood transfusions every so often due to illness to live, they would still not be a vampire.

I love vampire stories, but they're just stories. Anyone that considers themself a vampire or believes that they exist has zero respect from me.

Does that mean that you believe vampires really exist? Define your opinion on the matter and support your argument. So far, YOU, the creator of the thread, has showed the least intelligent input of all. This will not do, not at all.

So you're telling me, and everyone who reads this, that you have had ACTUAL contact with REAL vampires. Pardon me, but you're going to need a lot more than that to convince us. The only place where I've seen vampires being mentioned as real creatures are tabloids like the National Enquirer, not the most credible news source.

Now, is there any way you can PROVE to us that you've dealt with vampires? Because if this whole thread was just your way of expressing how much you like them, my finger is hovering over the DELETE button like a bee on a pot of honey. Intelligent discussion is one thing, but fan girling all over the place does not belong here.

If vampires really existed, why have their been no reports of attacks? Something like that would cause a media field day, especially if they don't kill their victims. Even if they were unconscious, they'd be pretty curious asto why they have holes in their neck or body and why they're missing blood all of a sudden. Also, if they really don't want to be found, then what makes YOU so special that you've dealt with them? Unless you're a vampire as well, I doubt that they'd want to associate with something that they FEED on. And if you are a vampire, and vampires don't want to be found, why on Earth would you go to a PUBLIC forum, which is viewed by MILLIONS of people, and create a topic ABOUT vampires?

I'm sorry, but you've got a way to go if you want us to take you seriously.

they kinda scare me.... i dont know why you would drink someones blood....no offense to anyone who is one i just dont understand it.

Okay, taking Gilded Lotus' post into account, it is possible to suffer from a condition which makes one SEEM vampiric, but this in no way makes someone an ACTUAL vampire, as defined by
as this definition is SUPERNATURAL in nature, which I am arguing against. [link]

Diseases which are often interpreted as "vampiric" include rabies (for the frothing of the mouth and violent tendencies), porphyria (for sensitivity to light), and Renfield syndrome (a mental disorder which causes an obsession with blood and the drinking of it).

Lotus, it seems to me that you and your friend probably suffer from Renfield Syndrome, and it should be good to know that it was actually discredited as an actual disease, and that it is now defined as a standard obsessive-compulsive disorder, and is easily treatable.

Urza, the case you're refering do does not prove vampirism, it just proves that one person had some severe mental issues, possibly suffering from Renfield Syndrome as well. Good at deception? People have been threatened? The Free-Masons and the Illuminati could be argued in the same fashion, and none of these groups can be proved to exist. You still haven't answered my question of how YOU know they exist, and why YOU are willing to speak about your encounter.

...except that since it's fiction, you could easily say that it's the MAGICAL and SUPERNATURAL properties of blood that allows a vampire to feed once a year. Or even that vampires don't really drink the blood, but the spirit within the blood. If you're going solely based off of science, drinking blood does absolutely NOTHING for anyone, since it doesn't contain nearly enough or the right kind of nutrients to sustain a human being indefinitely.

Vlad Tepes aka Vlad the Impaler, he ruled Wallachia on three occasions. He was the son of Vlad Dracul and thus sometimes called Vlad Draculea.

i know people who beleive themselves to be vampires, and they are totally kind to the people they care about... anyone else had better watch out, i dont know if the bloodlust is real and yes vampires are violent creatures but they are not heartless demons that claim your souls.
