Where did you get your info telling you that not too many people like Dr. Phil????  I personally think he's a man who know's his stuff and tells it like it is without pulling any punches. He's been in the psychology business for quite a while and very successful, I might add. Oprah helped him launch his show after he helped her win her "mad cow" beef lawsuit several years ago.  He doesn't claim to solve individual or family problems in 1 hour but steers his guests in the right direction while offering free assistance in the guest's home town.  He is a man who is sincere, truly cares and wants to make a difference in the lives of those who come on his show.  As for his wife Robin, she seems nice but I get the impression she wants to be the complete and perfect trophy wife for Dr. Phil (looks like she has had plastic surgery and major stuff done to her teeth). You'd have to look at photos of her in her younger days to see what I mean.  She seems very high maintenance.  Maybe I am wrong on that but I also agree she prolly wears the pants in the family while giving the impression she is a meek and quiet spouse.

Uhhhh. No. \n\nSorry, but Oprah comes across as insincere. I want a leader who at least pretends to listen to people. \n\nAnd if we're going to have a monarch, could we at least pick someone with a sense of humor?\n\n(yeah, yeah Oprah lovers, I know you hate me for this. Whatever.)

I think so, Homeless.  I read each and every answer, both the serious and humorous ones.  I have seen you posting some answers to my questions and I did read them.  While some questions are clearly asked for entertainment purposes (puzzles, jokes, parodies) and some are just a way to vent (I avoid the latter), we are free to pick and choose those questions we find interesting and entertaining.   And I do answer questions if I feel I can be of some help.  \n\nYesterday, I had several questions where I wanted to pick the answers that made me laugh, but I didn't.  I chose those who gave the best answer to my question as asked.  So just answer those questions you want to answer, be serious or not (depending on how you feel), and remember there are all different kinds of people posting here for a myriad of reasons.\n\n*I did get the title of a book that sounds interesting.*

At first I thought the mom and grandma were kind of coaching her into saying it. But then, when Dr. Phil took the father in the back room to question him, he seemed really confused. I mean, how hard is it to answer "yes" or "no"? I think he's done something. I'm not sure what, but he is not entirely blameless.

Be careful with this.  I saw a whole something on "Oprah" yesterday talking about sickos who prey on little kids that want internet pen pals.

I believe it's an excellent quote.\n\nAlthough many questions are embarassing to ask, and may cause an unexpected response, at you you can rest knowing that you tried to satisfy your curiousity.\n\nAnd if you ask a question when others are by you, you may have asked a question that they were dying to know.\n\n"Curiousity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back."\n\nExcellent question, by the way!

No -- but I tried to test it.  I had a friend who was dying of terminal cancer, and she was very religious and wasn't very scared.  So I bought a combination lock and asked her to set the combination but not tell me.  Then, I asked her to do everything in her power to come tell me the combination to unlock it once she had died.   If the combination worked, then I'd know it wasn't a dream that I made up.  She promised that she would do everything she could do get a message to me, because she loved me as a friend and wanted to bring hope to my life.\n\nAnyway, this was 2 years ago.  Nothing.  If there was life after death and the dead could communicate with us, I know for certain that Jen would have sacrificed a lot to get a message to me.

Maybe the question was too personal, and violated other people's privacy.  \nMy guess.

It wasn't me.\nI like his questions.

Sadly, the response to such ads seems to have been fairly low.\n\nHowever, at least someone is trying.  And thats a good thing.  Although I would agree that they need to continue to develop their programs and process.\n\nMy take on it is, if even a few lives are saved or improved - I'll endure the annoyances that some of the commericals offer up.  Even if the messages don't mean much to you or me - they mean something to someone and maybe after the 50th viewing, that person might take steps to save or help someone.

Nope...unfortunately; because "shacking up", whether you are one of the most powerful women (black or white) in America or not, is not a good look!\n\n\nI think it is due to LACK of spiritual background in the area of what marriage really is. Over the years in hearing her talk, Oprah has based alot of her personal opinions regarding marriage off of bad marriages in Hollywood (like Gails) of her friends and upbringing has alot to do with it too. \n\nNOT ONE TIME, in her many references to marriage, have I ever heard her mention the bible and what God says marriage is. And normally when she brings it up, it's in a "don't do it" or and "I told you not to" context. I will NEVER forget her saying "I told you not to marry" to Halle Berry during an interview! As much as I like Oprah, I was horrified!!!! Because, I thought that was an awful slant to put on a very troublesome divorce as it was, anndddd a rough comment to make to someone who is young and obviously makes bad choices in relationships; being "married" has nothing to do with people who do not need to be together in the 1st place! Marriage is not bad, PEOPLE make bad choices and have a lack of understanding about what it takes to make a marriage work! Anyway, on the same show Benjamin Brat (who is married) came out for his portion of the interview; this was when Catwoman was about to hit theaters, and at the end of the interview he asked if he could comment on their conversation from earlier and he turned and looked at Halle and told her, you can be in love and marry again, all things are possible with God, or something to that effect. And I was in awe! Halle's eyes filled with water, Oprah was speechless for the 1st time in the history of her show LOL and they went to a commercial.\n\nIt was amazing to see a man address the issue of marriage and also, wonderful to see someone come on the show and have the courage of their convictions without taking on the emotions of Oprah, because she has EXTREME influence on people and is very opinionated!\n\nBottom line, Oprah is not married, because she chooses not to be; her upbringing and some unfortunate experiences as a child and beyond with men, plays a part in her beliefs too I am sure. I personally think she is scared of marriage and that her sense of what marriage is, is very warped!

*lol* I hear that, some of those questions I have seen really make you wonder who it is asking the question.\n Of course for all we know... you could be an alien yourself and trying to throw us all off your track......... HUMMMMMMMM

Not at all. Think about all of the topics that Oprah tries to bring to the attention of the American public.  She is constantly using her money to better the lives of those less fortunate than herself.  Just yesterday she did an episode about the children on Darfur.  This is a topic that many people would be clueless about....but thanks to Oprah, millions of people will now know about the genocide going on in Africa. Also, remember the sex offenders she featured on her show -- 3 of them have been caught! That's great.  There were millions of eyes looking for them that wouldn't have been if it had not been for Oprah.  So, no, I do not think it is just money that motivates Oprah.  :)

No, I don't believe she asked the question. On Oprah Winfrey's profile it talks about her in the third person. This was blatant promotion thought up by her publicist or someone.\n\nHowever, $1000 would help some people. It would be enough to feed a homeless person for a few weeks.\n\nAs for how she got 97 points - everyone here starts off with 100 points and then lose 5 points for asking a question. This would bring her down to 95 points, she probably got another 2 points for signing in twice (you get a point every time you sign in).

I don't know.  I've noticed the same problem with some of my questions.  Maybe it's like someone said--if your questions aren't about sex, or hating someone or being pregnant, then people aren't interested.  :o)

Your questions require too much thinking for this time of the night.\nWell it maybe because somebody crossed an Angels path.
