I was flipping through the tv channels the other day when I caught a glimpse of something that made me want to stop and watch. Surprisingly, it was Dr. Phil. I've never been one to watch Dr. Phil. If there was any one of those talk shows that I was going to watch it would be Oprah....or Ellen...but certainly not Dr. Phil. But what I saw infuriated me so much, that I couldn't bring myself to change the channel. I'm not sure what the exact topic for the show was, but it had something to do with judgemental people.
The episode focused on 6 people in the audience who had been brought on to share their completely judgemental views on life. The first one I saw, the one that made me stop and watch, was a chauvinistic man. He went on and on about how woman are worthless and the only thing they are good for is having babies...but then they don't even raise them right...and spending men's money. He went on to say that women can not hold positions of power or leadership, and commented that if there was ever a woman president we would pretty much be screwed becaue women can't make decisions. He said that women shouldn't even be given the right to vote! I was so mad! How are there people in this world that even think like this? And it's those kind of people that no matter what you say to them, they will never change their view.
Next was a woman who was "morally righteous." She walked around the streets holding a bible and preaching to people about all the ways they would go to hell. She would just walk up to people and tell them they needed to change their lives or they would go to hell...she didn't know them, for all she knew, she could be talking to a priest. But she wasn't preaching the word of the bible...that's just what she claimed to be doing...she was preaching her way of life. She walked up to a girl on the street who had piercings on her face and told her that God didn't like that and if she didn't repent she was going to hell. Well damn! Looks like I'm going to hell then too! She said that you would go to hell if you had sex before marriage and to that Dr.Phil asked if she was married and she said no, then he asked if she had ever had sex and her reply was "Well..." These people are complete hypocrites! They refuse to listen to what anyone else has to say...they are right no matter what, even if what they are saying contradicts itself.
Then they had a man who hated society. He said that 90% of people were morons and that they were just sheep following the crowd. I would say he was the least of the bad. He didn't try to push his views on anyone else, he kept it to himself. But still...the fact that anyone could believe that is dumb. Then there was a woman who "hates ugly people." She said if you're ugly, you might as well not talk to her. She walks down the streets and just make comments about anyone that passes her. There was an overweight woman pushes her child in a stroller down the street, and when the woman saw that, she said she should turn around and beat that woman's ass. The best part about it thought is that the woman who said all this was not attractive in the least! She had crooked, yellow teeth, her hair was greasy, and she looked like white trash.
The one that made me the most mad (and you'll probably understand why) was a woman who was extrememly racist. The woman was racist against black people, but SHE was black!! She said that black people are just whores, prostitutes, gang bangers, they have no education, and on and on...She went on to say that she would never let her children play with black kids. She married a white man. But whenever Dr. Phil asked her questions, she would get tripped up, because she was so hypocritical, that she didn't have anything to say back without making herself look stupid. I mean if you think all these things about black people, is it ok for people to think that about you? And she was like...no, she's not a prostitute or a whore. But you're black....so you must be a prostitute right? I mean seriously. I was getting so pissed off
The last of the 6 I missed because she cam on before I flipped to that channel, but apparently she was the opposite of the chauvinistic man-she hated men. At the end of the show Dr. Phil brought all 6 up to the stage and announced what his "therapy" was going to be. With people whose views are this extreme though, they normally don't care what anyone says, because they think they're right no matter what. But Dr. Phil announced that he was going to put all of them in the "Dr. Phil house." They would all have to live with each other, with their views and opinions. He them went on to assign roommates. The chauvinist man and the woman who hates men will room together. The man who hates society and people who are materialistic will room with the woman who hates ugly people. And the racist and morally righteous woman will be roomies. So this should be interesting. It starts Monday...and they're going to cover what happens in the "house of judgement" as they call it. I hope I get a chance to watch it. It just makes me so mad to know that there are actually people in this world that think like that. And they aren't the only 6. There must be some serious psycological things going on with these people. They are so unsecure with themselves, that they have to make it out to be other peoples' problems. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with these people. To see if there's any hope at all.

I LOOOOVE Dr Phil. I don't always agree with him, but I love the show. I saw the previews for the episode you're talking about, but, alas! I missed it. lol. But isn't it so funny how people can get a belief so stuck in their head that they can no longer see how hypocritical or stupid that it makes them sound???
I hate Doctor Phil.
He finds the most extreme cases of people then puts them on his show to make people get caught on the issue and thus make money off them.
At least he's attempting to help these people though.
