I wouldn't joke about Dr. Phil. He was in Nam. Only reason why he decided to become a douchbag was because they told him snapping little kids neck is not a form of therapy.
He bench presses Oprah for fun and while he's at it, he can recite all the Psalms.
I'd agree with you Karky if the patients did it in private, then Dr. Phil pulled out stuff from the private interview to show the public. The thing is, people agree to go on the show. Common sense should take over in that personal questions will be asked, and most likely, people will confront you about your opinion in mob mentality.
The sad thing about the world is that *most* people respect the opinions of the mob rather than the opinion of one self. I think this is a major fault not only in modern times, but in all times future and past.
Shows such as Dr. Phil and Oprah survive on ratings whether or not it is correct. I love how it's worded in Chris Farley's biography: "If the show sucks and the ratings good, the network will continue to air it. However if the show sucks and the ratings sucks, then the network will pull the show."
I cant stand doctor phil. It seems like he talks over people and then uses his audience to back him up. All he has to do is look at the audience and they all clap and yahoo, even if he is wrong.
I HATE....did I say HATE?, I meant despise, detest, loathe, abhor, and find him revolting, nauseating, offensive, repugnant, repulsive, sickening, ugly, vile, and foul....feel free to add your own feelings.....
and I think the man is a complete A**hole and hasn't a clue.
AWWW, You're so sweet!!!!!!:luxlove:

maybe that should be my new line
Id rep you if you cared! I couldnt put it better myself!
I sort of like the guy. I mean he helps people and families. That's quite good for me. I suppose his method is questionable, but I think Dr. Phil understands this is a new generation where outward emotion is accepted and perhaps he's trying to tap into that. 20 years ago, if you had a mental problem or worry, you're told basically to "take it like a man" and is pretty much ignored. Now, you pretty much see it everywhere in shows like Real World, and other crazy stuff. I think Dr. Phil knows that this is a new generation where therapy occurs usually when one discuss emotional things outwardly in public settings.
