Oprah a god?

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I don't watch Oprah's Show but I think she's a hotty :jointsmile:

LOL! So does my fiance, and he's always been the "blonde blue eyed" type.

I have to say, I'm very pleased with this thread. It's stimulating, civilized, and a far cry from the "dude, I smoked this bomb ass dro!" threads that seem to be the norm on some days. See, stoners do so have brains!

Theres definately informed debate going on here.

Earlier I said I hated Oprah. But I didn't say why. I guess I don't really hate her. I disagree with a lot of things she says and my mind just doesn't percieve her as a smart or nice person. I haven't even seen her show(and remembered what happened) but I have heard things about it. I think everything she does is for the fame+fourtune, which is something I can't respect.

yes, we keep them neatly packed away in the bottom drawer and bring them out for holidays, bar mitzvahs and emergency situations.

I repsect how Oprah has risen from extreme poverty and made something financially of herself, but this brings the question:

Does charity have a false sense of altruism when you make a big deal about it, or does it not matter?

To a point, Oprah's accomplishments in promoting literature, particularly self-help and feminist literature, has shed a lot of light on issues. But being extravagant about certain things, mainly her Oscar specials and other nonsense like that, especially the spawning of Dr. Phil, has brought her down a bit in my eyes.

I'm neutral about her, mainly because she doesn't affect me. Her magazine and show has an audience of mostly corn-fed Midwestern 'empowered' family moms who search for a leader to justify treating themselves with a new hairdo, or reading the newest self-help book she promotes.

She's come a long way from where she was....a true role model. But a God? LOL........

I do have to give her much respect for keeping it real.....unlike most those in the Hollywood lights. I can't see her shaving her head anytime to soon.:thumbsup:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

I think Oprah does a lot of amazing things and I really like her, but there are certain things I don't really agree with.

I don't like Dr.Phil. I think he is a sell-out.

I don't like how Oprah often cites pseudo-science, like having psychics on her show (science has disproven psychics...no one has been able to prove their psychic abilities thus far)

I also don't like how religious she is, strictly in the sense that she attributes certain things to God and appeals to 'him' a little too much for my liking- but seeing as how she has a mainly American audience (america has a huge religious population) it does make sense.

Im not on the Oprah bandwagon myself, and Im sure as hell not into The View and Rosie O' Donnel in any way....that goes for the Today show too. I can't stand that kind of crap. But if your into it then good for you. To each their own I suppose.

As far as radio and TV are concerned, I do watch an occasional Oprah nightime re-rerun when it's about societal matters. But I do think she's sold out in a big way recently, and I think Phil McGraw's show is becoming increasingly "Springerized,"

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