Moms love Oprah

i've noticed this, someone's always talking about what their mom saw on Oprah...

So my mom told me she has a contest going for someone who spreads the most love around to others...like random acts of kindness...i think it's a great idea...Go Oprah!

 

Oprah is good

 

i am a mom. and i like what she has done as far as taking her show away from the negativity and trying to help people live a good fulfilling life as far as mind, body and spirit. i like that she put the spirit back in it. but i have to wonder if she did it cause she knew that was the way things were moving anyway, or if she did it cause it is honestly who she is....
now i feel conflicted on this...esp since she seems so generous, but how could she not be, its not her money, its the shows. however, every single show, she says, i know how you feel....she relates to you. how the hell is she gonna relate to a mother ready to rip her hair out cause of the struggles of being a single mama. its not gonna happen. so it makes me wonder about where her integrity really is....however, struggle is struggle....and we can all relate to that....

so really,i dont know where i sit on the oprah fence. i know that i dont see the show anymore cause of work, however, if i were to, generally i find interest in the shows topic, but she just gets under my skin a little.

so this mama, well she just dont know....i dont know though, does bo know?

 

I used to watch Oprah when she actually informed her audience about important things. These days, her show is full of useless crap like celebrity interviews, redecorating a lame-ass house, or giving free shit away. I guess it's just been a while since I bothered to watch her show...but now I just don't care anymore.

 

oh well, i havent seen it in like 2 years, its really only about that stuff now?

 

that's an interesting point there Marie, not to defend oprah but i believe it is possible to understand struggles that aren't your own, a lot of times when talking politics someone says 'of course i can't understand what it's like to be black', i say 'sure you can', maybe you won't understand every facet but you can imagine something pretty darn close...


i used to babysit and i know a lot of moms i can empathize with

 

I'm not a mom but I do love Oprah.

 

........thats sad

 

honey...well you a minority of the minorities cause i know a whole lot of peopel that will tell me i have no idea what it is to be black. and they would be right

but back to oprah...i really think she does positive things...i just wonder about her intentions...they seem genuine, but for some reason i just dont know

 

no, but you did find out kind of what its like to be a red head. i see that didn't last, haha

 

well, it wasnt for me, it faded away...if i were black it wouldnt fade away unless i was michael jackson

 

she has done alot of stuff that touched me lately

like that show about children around the world that have influenced us

I cried

 

I stopped watching after I didn't receive a car

 

you are such a baby ryan....you prolly dont do lottos either cause you didnt win

 

ugh, I dont care if she is giving things away, or she is helping people. she is the richest woman in the US (let alone the world). she has to give money and posessions to charity just for tax write offs. if she really would want to help people out, maybe she can move out of her 50 acre mansion and turn it into a homeless shelter. seriously. and all of those cars she gave away??????? she didnt give them away. pontiac did, she was just the middle person that helped the car company get exposure so they could sell more. she didnt have to pay for shit on that whole deal

of course the sheep would eat it up though "that oprah, she is so nice, she is just giving away cars to people that deserve it" what a joke.

 

tell you what - I'll buy a ticket for wednesday nights drawing and if I win, I'll buy you a car.

I wonder if I'd get a tax write off like opera

 

hey that is a deal
i will hold you to that....and i will buy one too. if i win, i will buy you a ticket to see oprah

 

good point, but i still think the spread the love idea is pretty rad, she has a large audience and though they'd start for the wrong reason i'm sure a few would continue for the right reasons, and that's a good thing

 

I don't care what anybody says

I know a good heart when I see one

And Oprah has one

 

you know what i can't stand about Oprah. The audience. They are such greedy pigs, their mouths are watering at the anticipation of the free gift that they get practically every show. and their grubby little hands. it makes me sick. they dont even try to hide their greediness. BAH
