Oprah a god?

oops....hehe

Dr. Phil McGraw also happens to be extremely anti-pornography...he says it ruins adult relationships. Any respect I had for him, is now completely gone. A lack of communication ruins adult relationships, not pornography.

You should look into edgar cayce for some true insight into our psyche...

Wasn't Edgar Cayce that prophet guy who claimed great clairvoyant abilities? I'll pass on the supernatural, thanks. Too skeptical of all that to put my faith there. But I did read one of Edgar Cayce's books during high school before I was sophisticated enough to recogize lunacy.

Phil's pretty conservative, isn't he? I didn't know that about his stance on pornography. I don't have a problem with it personally, but I'm guessing a longtime psychologist might have seen plenty of cases where, when combined with lack of communication, it could indeed create some problems in adult relationships. I mostly mean that from the standpoint of setting up the expectation that women and men should always look and behave like porn stars. They're so fake and perfect, and we all know few real people's bodies look like porn stars'. I think, too, the female and male sexual responses are so contrived in porn that they can have a tendency to set up false expectations. I would think a psychologist might be more likely to support erotica or maybe portrayals of real couples--something more real and emotionally relatable. I do believe, however, that people should do what turns them on. I've heard Sue Johansson on this subject, and I find her marvelously open-minded. She agrees that the false-expectation factor of porn is a potentially troubling aspect of it.

I like Oprah. I don't worship Oprah. But I like Oprah. In the same way one might like one's senator.

[TheSmokingMonkey]

Oh... but I *do* worship Dr. Phil. Sort of. I think he's awesome.

I agree! Edgar Cayce is a great read.

i believe some women have a stigma towards oprah because of the belief drilled constantly in the minds of young women today that women cannot have strong opinions, or affluence, or be anything more than a pretty thing to look at.

they find offense in the fact that she doesn't stand by and let the world run over marginal people.

by calling her a bitch you only proove your fear of a strong intelligent female

Ok...so lately I have been watching oprah to form more of an opinion on this lady I dislike so much....and I have come to the conclusion....that she is just another type of puppet of the world...She raises issues that she see's fit and won;t except others views whatsoever....and her show has WAY too many commercial breaks. If I could actually meet her and talk to her maybe I would see other wise....but as far as I am concerned she is a mass-appeal puppet who talks about important issues at a shallow level.
