(Original Air Date: 10/30/06) Dr. Phil continues his work with six individuals with different prejudices living under the same roof. After John tries to make arrangements to leave, Dr. Phil arrives with a wake-up call for all the guests. Then, the house guests participate in exercises that challenge their personal space and force them to examine their inner values. When the participants have to look their adversaries in the eye and tell them, with brutal honesty, why they hate them, will seeing the hurt they cause change their thinking? Christina and Tessa finally sit down for a heart-to-heart talk, sharing their experiences and their pain. Dr. Phil sends them on a special assignment where they have to trust each other with their lives. As they begin to bridge the gap, Dr. Phil helps them see that they’re not so different after all. Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

Totally disgusting

Quote From: jcrotts

This is so unnecessary.  Jesus Christ did not die on the cross for one race, white, black Indian or whatever a persons race.  And in Heaven all will be as one.  This is another tactic that the Devil uses to keep people focused on things of this world that don't matter, to keep them from the love of God.  Color does not make a person who they are, neither does being skinny or fat.  We are supposed to love one another, it doesn't mean we have to like one anothers' ways or choices, but we need to care for one another and try to help one another.  I realize that not everyone believes in the Lord Jesus Christ and God His Father, but I believe and I have love for everyone because of Jesus.  These people need prayer and they need to give their lives over to God.
Why should you  get excused of any kind of behavior and be allowed to call someone anything just because you are black? There are equal consequences too! If you want equal rights you have to know everyone else has the same rights or it is not equal. What happened to treating people like you expect to be treated?

Two way street

I was first apprehensive about this show when I first learned about it. Being a white, straight, skinny woman, I figured all the pressure will be on the white, the straight, and the skinny. I know that being prejudice is a two way street, but society and the media places emphasis on the anti-black, the anti-gay, the anti-fat people and how it's wrong to feel and be that way. There is little emphasis on the flip side. I was relieved by this show. I personally, have been pulled the racial card on because I disagreed about something totally not race related with someone not white like myself.

 

EVERYONE has some kind of prejudice. I guess you would call it human nature. I've been in discussions with people who claim that they don't have a any prejudice. Yet come to find out they are intolerant of those who hold a prejudice. That in itself says you have a prejudice.

 

Sometimes it's not about the way you feel and think about certain situations, but how you act on it.

Hate House/Gays

I just wanted to say that I and our family have worked with all kind of people and people are all the same everwhere. Some belive in and trust God and some don't. But one thing I do have to say is that my God don't make misstakes, He didn't make anyone gay, he gives us all chooses and what we do with the choose is up to us. So when you say your gay that your were born that way, or God make you that way. Leave God out of it and just be honest, and say you choise to be gay.

 

Do I belive in gays or like them? No, I don't but its your life and do with it what you wish, just don't cross ofer the line and try and make me think its ok when God speaks and said its not. Even the animals don't lay down with there on sex why should people.

 

Dr. Phil I love your shows and I do enjoy your topics for the most part.

God Bless you and what all you try to do in helping some of these people

House of Hatred hit home

I am nervous and naturally distrustful of Christians.  As a long time Wiccan Priestess, I've seen alot of Christians say nasty things about  people who share my faith.  Also I have been personally assaulted and discriminatted against and all by Christians. 

I realized when watching this show that I go as far as ignoring and distrusting anyone I know to be Christian. This makes me no better than those people who discriminated against me.  I am going to do some thinking about how I can get over my apprehension of Christians.

I just wanted to know why you think that Gay people are mistakes??  It's been scientifcally proven that sexual orientation is not a choice is part of your mental and emotional make up. When did you chose to be straight?? 

I just think you should get your facts straight before making such a hasty judgement about Gay people.

Ellen bores me to tears

Quote From: harbour909

When Dr. Phil house first opened - I was really excited about it - and thought it was a positive move.  BUT it is so boring and uninteresting.  Seems like it is a good place for a group of rediculous people to have a free vacation and yell and scream at each other.  SORRY!  YOU LOSE ME ON MONDAYS.  I go watch Ellen.
Ellen is so freaking boring.  I fall asleep whenever she speaks.

Miss Skinny

(sorry I don't know her name)...I just cannot believe how cold hearted she was toward the overweight guy.  Thinking because he handled his grief differently then her, somehow makes her a smarter and better person...shows a huge lack of compassion...shame on her!  Men (not all but many) simply do not do well at expressing their feelings as women and tend to stuff it...and do not turn to others for help because society sees that as a weakness.  So instead it comes out in anger and self destructive behavior.  Its simply all a sign of severe depression.  Miss Skinny doesn't even seem to know what the word 'ignorant' means...that she likes to throw around alot as a put down to people.  It simply means, lack of knowlege...lack of knowing something...doesn't mean the person cannot learn though, like she seems to imply.  Miss Skinny might look nice on the outside, but inside she isn't pretty at all.  I hope she can learn to understand just because others cannot pull themselves out of a deep depression and grief to even seek help...it doesn't mean they don't want too.  I know what its like to be so depressed I couldn't even think straight, let alone seek help for myself.  I hope she gets something out of this experience.

Hi..I am a Christian but don't hate anyone

Quote From: bluefirewitch

I am nervous and naturally distrustful of Christians.  As a long time Wiccan Priestess, I've seen alot of Christians say nasty things about  people who share my faith.  Also I have been personally assaulted and discriminatted against and all by Christians. 

I realized when watching this show that I go as far as ignoring and distrusting anyone I know to be Christian. This makes me no better than those people who discriminated against me.  I am going to do some thinking about how I can get over my apprehension of Christians.

Howdy...My name is Julie...and I have to agree with what you said about so many Christians being hateful towards certain groups of people, it not just upsetting, it actually goes against our teachings.  A Christian means one that follows the teachings of Christ...who said to love each other as I have loved you.  He NEVER said, unless they are gay, or blue, or a witch or whatever.  He said to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.  Saddly though that are many that use this faith (and it happens in other faiths too of course) to be mean and hatful towards others...but no where in scriptures can they justify treating others this way.  Because so many abuse our faith in this way its turned a large group of people away from us and even caused then to hate us....then when those hateful Christians are put down they use the words of Jesus "the world will hate you because it hated me" and get all puffed up about it...not realizing it has nothing at all do with this but that they simply brought it on themselves by being nasty towards others...its a shame too a terrible shame and one day they will have to answer to God for their actions.

 

I had a friend once that was into wiccan and called herself a witch.  She moved away though but was a very nice lady.  The biggest thing to remember about Christians is this...'anyone' can say they are a Christian...doesn't mean they are though. (though some just lack knowledge of the bible).  Next time anyone claiming to be and is hateful towards you...you ask them if they follow the commandment Jesus gave...to "love your neighbor as yourself"...if they say, yes of course, then ask them why they are being so hateful towards you.  If they say because God is against witchcraft (which He is (I will explain later why, if you want),  but He doesn't say to be mean and hateful toward witches) ask them where Jesus says its ok to be hateful towards you or any witch...if that cancells out the commandment He gave....

 

I am truly sorry you have been hurt by Christians, I really am...there is no excuse for that.

something for everyone in the house to think about

I just caught the show and don't get to catch them often due to work, this was the first time i seen the house of hatred and it really got on my nerves to see all of you being so self centered. I do not know anyones names and I'm sorry but its time to lay into everyone.

     

       for the guy that hates skinny people

               I understand people can be mean or stare when they see a large person But you cant hold that against them  some people are just not educated enough to understand that sometimes there are medical conditions causing people to be overweight my best friend was 375 pounds and could not eat half what I'd eat he would run step for step with me without a problem  what was causing him to be overweight I have no clue but I didn't care because he was a good person inside and a true friend that would and has given the shirt off his back if you needed it.    Love you Clay O. keep being the way you are.

            

      the girl that hates overweight people

            You think you got it all  you look OK not much of a butt but you look okay on the outside but the way you treat people because of there looks is dumb if you were in need of help would you turn it down if it was a large person offering it what if you needed a kidney and your perfect match was from an overweight person would you turn it down. People have feelings and you have no right to try and rip them apart because they are not like you, in my opinion you are to skinny except for that flab hanging off your under arm  that doesn't feel good so why do it to others.

 

      the racist guy

          i hate when people say that someone is taking jobs because of race it has happened and still does due to the government saying that a business has to have so many people of each group so hate the government not everyone you hate. They need jobs also just do your part on keeping your job by doing your best and trying to get extra knowledge even if it is from a black person. The knowledge you learn will take you further in a career no matter who teaches it to you.  Just do your part and learn what people are teaching and pass on the information to people that wont to learn it.

 

      the racist woman

          Don't blame the white man because you don't get a fair shake all the time but also at the same time you have to get rid of the racism within yourself because just like anything it will show and this could cause rejection in the work place as well as on the streets. But please don't never blame the white man for holding you back. Black people have all the opportunities as white people and even some government and non government funding that the white man cant get because we are white. Do I think this is right   no because I should be able to go to these organizations for help also but I cant because of race. I think for racism to stop we have to due away with all the organizations that cater to just whites as well as just blacks or whoever.

 

         the girl that hates gay people

              you know you hit the nail on the head when you brought the Bible into this with the Adam and Steve comment so do me a favor and read a little more of the Bible and you may see that it also says he who judges shall be judged more harsh  so do you really wont to judge and have your life put under a fine microscope. gay people are people just like you and me they just choose to lead their life the way that they wont to. Do you think its really OK to tell someone they are in the wrong when you are judging them let GOD judge.

 

       the girl that hates straight people

           hey more power to you, you like what you like thats fine by me do I hate you no. You cant hate people because they choose to be straight its a stupid reason and you call us breeders but what about the loving gay couples that have adopted because they choose to have a child. Are you going to ever look back and wish you had a child of your own flesh and blood or are you going to be happy taking a child from straight people which you hate so much I am just like you except I  am straight and a guy is that a reason to hate me.  I don't hate you I just choose to live my life the way I live it.

 

 

                             Why must we hate for this reason or that one when we can live in peace and actually be happy with ourselves and accomplishments.
