I hate it when I agree with Dr. Phil

[LostinVA]

I loathe that smarmy, sexist, homophobic Freeper scam artist.

However, I totally agree with him about penalties for drunk drivers.

[dembotoz]

1. you need a stiff drink afther that

remember even a broken clock is right twice a day....

[old mark]

2. Back when I was really fat and had facial hair, someone told me I looked like

Phil.
I have lost nearly 80 pounds, shaved.

He really is a super asshole, and you don't have to be gay to hate him, either. He is an equal opportunity asshole.

4. I watch him, because I have a game I play: how can he blame the woman

A husband beats his wife? He'll blame her somehow!!!!!!!!

Ack -- looking like Dr. Phil!!!!!!!

[old mark]

8. Best weight loss incentive I ever had.....Fucking pig.....nt

[LostinVA]

12. Notice how he tailors his suit so he doesn't look overweight?

The reason I say this: he has those weight loss shows where he berates people (usually women!) for being overweight.

[old mark]

33. He is one of my least favorite people - I have never seen his show

on purpose, never more than a few minutes by accident, and that several years ago.
He is another one I don't want in my home.

20. I missed that. The one episode I saw about spousal abuse

he was really taking the guy to task. But, I don't watch because of when it's on here.

[LostinVA]

21. Good!

[omega minimo]

30. What's impressive is

how the game is rigged. Blame the "victim" :cry:

[cwydro]

3. I can't stand him either.

Smarmy scam artist is a perfect description.

[peekaloo]

5. He reminds me of Jeffrey Tambor

only Mr. Tambor usually PLAYS an asshole on the tee vee.

[cwydro]

7. Lol!

I totally see that!

[LostinVA]

13. OMG! You're totally right!

:lol:

[Rhythm]

6. What were his suggested penalties?

I've honestly never watched his show. Thought he came across as a prick when he was guesting on Oprah, so i just skipped his spin-off altogether.

[LostinVA]

14. He is a prick -- but I have an odd compulsion to watch him

Kinda like rubbernecking at an accident.

I had a friend killed by a repeat-offender drunk driver, so I'm definitely biased. He thinks that repeat offenders, ie more than one time, need to be incarcerated. And, if they kill someone if they are a repeat offender, it should be a murder charge.

[murielm99]

36. Oh great, I agree too.

My brother was very badly injured by a repeat offender drunk driver. It happened almost forty years ago. He has had a lifetime of health issues related to his injuries. His best friend was killed.

[DarkTirade]

9. Broken clock, twice a day, ect.

:)

[Parche]

10. Hey

I saw Harrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuka on his 'Biggest Fan List'
:rofl: :woohoo: :hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Zomby Woof]

11. If he is for harsh penalties

Then I must also with great discomfort find myself agreeing with him.

Too many people close to me have had their lives permanently altered because of drunk drivers. I survived a collision with one without permanent injury, and consider myself extremely lucky. Mere seconds made the difference. Wish I could say the same for my loved ones who weren't as lucky.

I admit a complete lack of objectivity on this subject.

[LostinVA]

16. He is for harsh penalties

I had a good friend killed -- murdered, imo -- by a repeat-offender drunk driver.

You know, it's not so hard to NOT drink if you'll be driving, and if you do, not to drive. When we go out, even two miles down the road to Haruka's aunt's on a holiday, I either don't drink or I have ONE drink.

[Rhythm]

32. Thank you, Lost...

In 1993, i was hit head-on by an idiot with a .2 BAC.

When Lyric and i go anywhere where 'adult beverages' might be consumed, i automatically either declare myself the DD (and stick to Diet Coke all evening), else we take a cab home.

It's not that hard... just don't get behind the wheel of a car oif you've been drinking alcohol or partaking of other intoxicating substances. If you do, you deserve jail.

[LostinVA]

34. Agreed -- it's not that difficult

And, if it IS, then you're an alcoholic.

[Zomby Woof]

35. I am very sorry for your loss

Truly, to what you said. Starting in high school, I got in the habit very early sleeping on friends' sofas, when a designated driver wasn't available (I was lucky to have a few teetotaling friends). What's so difficult about that?

[Skittles]

37. I've been the designated driver many, many times

carted drunks all over the place - yes INDEED :hi:

[Zomby Woof]

41. When I played DD

My drink of choice was Dr. Pepper, lol. :hi:

[Skittles]

42. diet coke here

being female, I had the problem of guys sending drinks my way - I learned to tell the bartenders of my DD status so diet soft drinks would come my way :D

17. He's a demented cross between Dr. Laura Schlesinger and Maury Pauvich.

[Midlodemocrat]

18. Like someone said up thread. Broken Clock.

Some of his advice is actually pretty textbook in terms of dealing with spousal abuse, drunk drivers, etc.

His delivery sucks though.

Was this a recent show? I don't watch him because he's on here at 3PM or thereabouts.

[LostinVA]

19. THursday or Friday - I DVR them to watch while I eat dinner

Unless he's too annoying, then I just delete him.

[Midlodemocrat]

22. If I did that, I'd have to delete Supernatural from the DVR and that's not happening.

Not until I get a new DVR, that is.

[LostinVA]

23. The DVR is a better invention than the wheel

[Midlodemocrat]

25. Seriously. Once I discovered HD TV, never going back.

I need to get a new DVR, though, because the one I have is on its last legs. Just waiting for a decent sale.

Have to be able to watch Supernatual in HD in the office doncha know.

[LostinVA]

39. Dear God -- ganking in HD

[Moondog]

24. Well, try not to worry. Perhaps your friends

will stage an intervention to save you from more of this degradation.

[Midlodemocrat]

26. Unrealistic.

She doesn't have any friends.

[Moondog]

27. Well, that would be a problem.

[LostinVA]

28. STFU, Pol Pot

[Midlodemocrat]

29. See?

:rofl:

:loveya:

[LostinVA]

31. How's the morning sckness?

[stewartcolbert08]

38. I hate him too

He is an arrogant jack ass

[LostinVA]

40. "How's that working for you?"

[stewartcolbert08]

43. LOL

Exactly! LOL then he would proceed to tell me why its NOT working for me after all!

[LostinVA]

44. And then tell you you need to read one of his books
