So I just watched this special by Dr.Phil about video game addiction...READ/WATCH this.
This is a really long post, but trust me...stay with me until the end as it's a cautionary tale of what is going on around us...even more so seeing that some of us aren't even aware of it really yet.
There is a video to watch and a crazy big part I wrote up (i'm sure there are plenty of spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes, I was writing it as fast as I could and did not check it over, sorry!)

For those of you who don't know me, i'm known on Steam for writing these epic posts from time to time and more people that have started seeing them, have started taking the time out to read them and aren't disapointed at all.
And for those of you who have seen my writings, welcome back to another epic post!
Enjoy and hopefully you'll see what i'm so passionate about this matter, even though it may seem silly to others!

And never in my life have I ever wanted to reach through the screen and just set everyone straight that was either on the show, or in the audience.
Soooo much misinformation, elitisim, dramatization, etc.

Below is a link, before you post in this discussion I STRONGLY urge you to watch the entire episode before commenting as there are two parts to this, one being how absurd Dr.Phil and the show make gaming out to be (and how childish too) and the next is about the 2nd half of the show where a so called "ex-gaming addict" comes on and tells his story.
Now I've watched a few episodes of Dr.Phil and being a guy from an extremely crazy past that has gone through hell and back and back again to get where I am today, I can tell you that i've experiened a majority of the content he's had on his shows and 90% of the time it's almost comical the problems these people have.
It screams "1st world problems" big time, but that's besides the point.
Towards the 2nd half of each show, i've begun to notice when they have a so called "expert" (aka someone who just went to school and read some books about something, but never actually REALLY lived that experience) that feels the need to chime in on these peoples lives, based off of what they've seen in a few short minutes...as if they know these folks entire story.
Now most of the stories are just dramatized and honestly hold zero respect to people who have experienced the real dark side of these things these people are talking about on his show.

But every so often you'll get these "reformed" people that show up towards the 2nd half of the show to "chime" in on what supposedly "happened" to them and what not.
Sometimes it's so pathetic, such as "I had a perfect life, I had everything going for me and then I did herion, which I thought i'd never do and I hit rock bottom, everything was gone..." blah blah blah, we've all heard these types of stories.
It wasn't until about a month ago when I started doing research into these people and their so called "lives" to find out that 99% of them got into drugs for like a month because they were in some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rebelious phase in their life, think they hit rock bottom and then quit and pretty much had everything else handed back to them, from the family that "ditched" them, etc.


Here is the link:

****** DO NOT READ THIS PART BELOW UNTIL YOU'VE WATCHED THE SHOW******

Okay, i'm getting side tracked, so the guy who comes on the 2nd half tells his little sob story about how he was an addict, what he use to do, etc.
Now by now you've already watched this part and i'm sure you've had a chuckle at how FAKE it is and how it's just used as another media fear tactic to scare middle aged overweight women into thinking what the majority of clueless Americans who eat up any news they see on the TV as real.
What scares me the most is that people watch this show and believe everything they're seeing because they think some tall, bald eagle looking mother ♥♥♥♥er is a real Doctor and "cares" about people and is so "perfect" and that they should follow his lead.
They actually TRUST this man, without even actually knowing him...and it's all based off of a dramatized day time talk show.
(What the hell has this country come to?)


(I'm going to cut what he is saying a part to explain to you how stupid and dramatized this segment is, so bare with me)
So this guys part comes up with Dr.Phil talking about how this guy "played over 80 hours a week, isolated in his basement in front of a computer screen."
Then it cuts to the guy saying that he would binge game, starting Friday night until 2-3 in the morning and then Saturday all day, Sunday all day.
-So he use to play for 80 hours a week easily, but to him..."binge gaming" was starting Friday night until 2-3 am and then playing all day Saturday and Sunday.
Well unless you have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time machine to slow down time, it'd be impossible to play 80 hours a week, if you consider that the whopping 5-6 hours he puts into Friday night plus the MAX total of 48 hours he could put in on Saturday and Sunday, if he actually, never went to bed at all.
Most importantly, to most of us...that's a normal weekend....even for a lot of none hardcore gamers.
And the fact that he said he would "binge" on the weekend like this, with what seemed like a normal amount of hours...just makes me believe that there is no way in hell this guy even came close to playing 20-30 hours a week.
Or if he did play, it was only during the weekend, which he probably slept late and then woke up late, played until 2-4am and passed out and continued.
I'm pretty sure my Grandmother spends more time on her cell phone and computer through out the week, than this dude did gaming..and she's 68.

Next up in this a$$hats wall-o-bullshat is...
He say's that the day before his wedding, he was playing until 4 in the am and someone knocked on the door of his "bedroom" door (remember how they said he was isolated in the basement first? First lie they're caught in) and said to him "are you crazy, you have to get up at 7am!" which follows by his shocked face (as he's telling this) that he regrets that day because he looked at his wedding photo and he looked...tired.
They show the photo and he just looks normal.
I'm not even going to touch this one, most newly weds never sleep on their pre-wedding night to begin with because of stress and late times and this was just an excuse.

And finally, I saved the best pile of crap for last...
He starts to end it by saying that "his life went out of control" and that it was like a "mistress" as well that his addiction to gaming almost ended his marriage.
(remind you that super dramatic/horror style music is playing in the background of course)
Then he talks about the worst day of his addiction, where he had tried commiting suicide by taking a bunch of sedatives (fail) because he was so overwhelmed and wanted it all to stop.
-Now if you ask me, this dude has some other issues going on that have nothing to do with gaming at all.
I love my life, i'm almost 30, I game for hours daily, I have a great full, happy and healthy life with plenty of time to do things with family and friends and I easily dump 40-60 hours of gaming in a week.
I've had sessions where I would grind from 11am to 5am, while taking breaks to eat, stretch, etc in between and never once in my life have I ever had my "eyes burn" or my "wrist ache".
This dude was making it sound like he was a complete junky, strung out on video games and that he was a total mess, phsyically and emotionally because those darn video games "hooked" him.

It's such a slap in the face to the industry, community and all the hard work that goes into games these day's...even more so seeing that the gaming industry makes more than the movie industry now and yet shows like Dr.Phil attempt to demonize, trivialize and dramatize gaming as a whole...what's worse is that everyone in the audience would snicker as they ganged up on a guy from eariler in the show about him playing World Of Warcraft and him explaining the game.
They would also snicker at various other gaming things that the Dr.Phil show made look childish and cheap, some of the "art" they used looked like a 5 year old with MS Paint made them, this helped push the cause that gaming is for little kids.
What's worse is that it's acceptable for people to judge something they do not know by just accepting the information handed to them and it's alright to make fun of people like the guy who plays World Of Warcraft as he's trying to explain the game because they don't understand it.
Dr.Phil always preaches all this bull♥♥♥♥ about "being nice and accepting" but when it benifits the angle of the show, it's perfectly fine to "join in on the beating".

What's even worse is that this clown in the 2nd segment is clearly a fake, he was put there by the show to push their own agenda for purely ratings.
He goes on later to say that he had spent over 24 THOUSAND, yes that's in $24,000.00+ on video games (and no, he wasn't a rare game/retro collector) and when Dr.Phil asked him what games he played his response was "....(he pauses) uh what games didn't I play? I probably played 16-17 different online role playing games at once and I also have a lot of experience with World Of Warcraft so I understand what Fred is talking about" (Fred is the guy in the first segment is who pretty much, made fun of).

I'd say it's easily impossible to spend 24k on games first and foremost, unless you were a legit collector, which he wasn't.
And 16-17 different "online role playing games" (notice that he called them online role playing games and not MMO's or MMOPRG's or anything in that context, simply because he's just reading all the basic terms that people will understand, versus the ones that are actually used) i'm pretty sure that there aren't even that many MMORPG's at this moment. (caught in another lie...even more so because he couldn't name any but WoW and they've already pointed WoW out as being the enemy on the show).

Then he goes on to say one of the most painfully absurd things to ALL of us here in the Steam PC gaming forums...
That he (and I QUOTE) "One of the worst things I did was, I would secretly rebuild the inside of my PC so it would go faster, so I could player newer games..."

Yeah.


This thread went way too long, i'm just pretty worked up about it...there is tons to break down and talk about and I could go on for another 10k words, but I don't want this to be too painful to read.
Please take the time out to watch this video and read my post above, as i'm sure you'll relate to 99% of it and hopefully i'll have pointed out somethings you might have missed too.
I want to start a conversation about trash like this being "alright" within talk shows like this!
Stand up, because it's idiots like Dr.Phil and his show that are looking to take your rights away to play games you enjoy, because before you know it...lynch mobs of angry liberal moms and media executives will be pushing laws to "limit the use of gaming per user, for ALL users to prevent the mental harm gaming does".

The Great Dictator's Speech

I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost....

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.

To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. .....

Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!

In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
That's like six times more than I'm willing to read.

I watched it.
He has no idea what he is talking about. he made it like most of us are addicts.

Having said that
I bought a Wii for my son 3 years ago, when I felt that he has started to get addicted, I just took it away from him. he is also not allowed to play on smart phones or iPad...etc.
it is not his fault or my fault, but his mother, she just can not control how much time he should spend on these things.

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.


It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. They have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.

As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied, as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating "For Whites Only". We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.

Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.

I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring."

And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!

Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!

But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!

Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
Dr phil is a known clown and has been for the longest time. He just says what the older women in his audience want him to say.

Joe rogan had a bit on this, well more about masturbation but he broke down dr phil...who thinks that masturbation is cheating on your wife... as the sad boy who decided the only way he could get laid was to say whatever women wanted to hear.

Too long, didn't read


Best part is...the first paragraph says "this is going to be long".
I guess that's too hard for some people to grasp, along with difficult political issues and social issues facing gaming.
I gurantee people like you that need to troll and comment "too long, no read" instead of saying nothing at all, will be the first to complain when people messing with your games.

hmm yes yes...DR.PHIL NEEDS HOT WOTH A BAT FOR THE BS HE PUTS ON TV!!! people take other stuff like depression and trys to put them on video games..i can says this cause i actually play 80 hours a week right now andim perfectly fine..i can actually stop playing for a week willingly and be fine...everytime i see DR.Phil i wish someone in the audiance would just come to there sences, go up on stage and sucker punch Phil hard enough that makeup wont cover it...people just write in to get on tv and he just dramatizes it

That's like if I give you Sonic '06 and tell you that it's a ♥♥♥♥ game. It may be nice to know that ahead of time or whatever, but it's still a ♥♥♥♥ game. Informing you doesn't change that.

Honestly, I thought, although the show was biased, was mostly true.

Yes, they kinda pushed it by having 2 instances of "suicide" stuff, but the strange effect is that the supporters of "games" [not addictions] will think they are too biased, and tend to ignore the stuff that are true. Those against "games", will go to the other extreme and say "STOP PLAYING VIDEO GAMES! MAY LEAD TO SUICIDE."


Escrito originalmente por SKYN3T:
. . .Dr.Phil and the show make gaming out to be (and how childish too)
Yes, they did make it seem that way. One aspect of the bias.

Now most of the stories are just dramatized and honestly hold zero respect to people who have experienced the real dark side of these things these people are talking about on his show.
Also, mostly true, at least on this episode.

Now by now you've already watched this part and i'm sure you've had a chuckle at how FAKE it is
I actually chuckled when they were making "fun" of the guy.

Because to be honest, what he said, even if I played WoW, I would've laughed, too. Because if you don't play a "fantasy video game", which you can't dispute it is, you have no idea what he's talking about, and think he's in his own fantasy world of stuff that doesn't exist in real life. You don't need to be a nongamer to see the humor.

(What the hell has this country come to?)
Isn't that exactly what the people on Dr. Phil seemed to imply?

So this guys part comes up with Dr.Phil talking about how this guy "played over 80 hours a week, isolated in his basement in front of a computer screen."
Then it cuts to the guy saying that he would binge game, starting Friday night until 2-3 in the morning and then Saturday all day, Sunday all day.
-So he use to play for 80 hours a week easily, but to him..."binge gaming" was starting Friday night until 2-3 am and then playing all day Saturday and Sunday.
Well unless you have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time machine to slow down time, it'd be impossible to play 80 hours a week, if you consider that the whopping 5-6 hours he puts into Friday night plus the MAX total of 48 hours he could put in on Saturday and Sunday, if he actually, never went to bed at all.
Most importantly, to most of us...that's a normal weekend....even for a lot of none hardcore gamers.
And the fact that he said he would "binge" on the weekend like this, with what seemed like a normal amount of hours...just makes me believe that there is no way in hell this guy even came close to playing 20-30 hours a week.
Sketchy, yes, but I'm sure they would've done the math right, even if it was fake.

He could've played 10 hours daily, and 6 hours that Friday, but the rest of the weekend he could've spent 14 hours. And they could've rounded it. Thus, what the guy, not you, considered "binge."

He say's that the day before his wedding, he was playing until 4 in the am and someone knocked on the door of his "bedroom" door (remember how they said he was isolated in the basement first? First lie they're caught in) and said to him "are you crazy, you have to get up at 7am!" which follows by his shocked face (as he's telling this) that he regrets that day because he looked at his wedding photo and he looked...tired.
They show the photo and he just looks normal.
Sketchy also, because I can't see why they'd use bedroom and basement as the same place if they never mentioned how they are the same, before, because you know, they don't want to confuse you. I'm not sure, but it's possible he could've used his bedroom instead that day, or the bedroom IS his basement. I don't know all of the facts.

Now if you ask me, this dude has some other issues going on that have nothing to do with gaming at all.
I love my life, i'm almost 30, I game for hours daily, I have a great full, happy and healthy life with plenty of time to do things with family and friends and I easily dump 40-60 hours of gaming in a week.
It does, however, happen to a lot of people. I don't know if it's most, half, rare. And many don't have pre-existing problems. Anything can be a drug, even video games. And any drug can ruin anybody's lives.

It may not be a drug to you, but it can be to others.

This dude was making it sound like he was a complete junky, strung out on video games and that he was a total mess, phsyically and emotionally because those darn video games "hooked" him.
Maybe because he was a "junky", and the video games "hooked him."

As I said, anything can be a drug.

It's such a slap in the face to the industry, community and all the hard work that goes into games these day's...even more so seeing that the gaming industry makes more than the movie industry now and yet shows like Dr.Phil attempt to demonize, trivialize and dramatize gaming as a whole...
They put a ton of work into advertising cigarettes, too!

what's worse is that everyone in the audience would snicker as they ganged up on a guy from eariler in the show about him playing World Of Warcraft and him explaining the game.
But even I easily laughed. I didn't see them as snickering, or ganging up.

They would also snicker at various other gaming things that the Dr.Phil show made look childish and cheap, some of the "art" they used looked like a 5 year old with MS Paint made them, this helped push the cause that gaming is for little kids.
Yea, I kinda wished they didn't have horrible graphics. And how they occasionally made it seem like games are only for kids.

I'd say it's easily impossible to spend 24k on games first and foremost, unless you were a legit collector, which he wasn't.
It wasn't on games. It was on computer parts.

He probably changed it every 6 - 12 months, and changed everything inside of the computer. That does add up over years.

. . .when Dr.Phil asked him what games he played his response was "....(he pauses) uh what games didn't I play? I probably played 16-17 different online role playing games at once and I also have a lot of experience with World Of Warcraft so I understand what Fred is talking about".
Maybe he didn't mention them was because he didn't prioritize on one at a time. And couldn't pick a single one to choose.

Just like the horse that had 2 bales of hay to his left and right, and equal distance, and died of starvation because he couldn't choose one. You could say "but the horse will choose one", because the analogy isn't perfect, but if you love all animals equally, what would you say if somebody asked "what's your favorite animal?"

I'm pretty sure if I was him, I would've rehearsed through the producers what I'm going to say. Because they don't like random crap (for the irony humor) on their shows. And the producers would say "the audience doesn't know what MMORPG is."

Dr. Phil doesn't know anything. He's only famous because Oprah financed that show for him.

I think Phil is a pretty cool guy, I read his book a long time ago and it actually really helped me.

We've faced bigger challenges than Dr. Phil. Not that I wouldn't like a world that actually focused on real issues.
Isn't that guy pro-Israel?
