Topic : 07/02 The Dr. Phil House: House of Hatred, Part 3

Gary, by the way, your attitiude and demeanor are very commendable;

best of luck to you...

 Sweetie,

I am so encouraged to hear young people such as yourself, say such pure sentiments.... I'll bet you are a sweetheart among your peers, and I am certain that they look up to you for your kind heart. Discrimination breeds hate, anger, resentment, ill will, and hurt. Hurt to others, but most of all, yourself. You are correct in saying, we're all the same-perhaps different wrappers, but the wrapper is insignificient....it's the heart that we will all be judged upon in the end.

Stay sweet, and spread your goodness upon others!

This show was a real eye opener....I was so distressed to see such volitle reactions in this day and age, simply b/c of appearance and sexuality. Are we no farther ahead than we were 50 yrs. ago? So much of ignorance like this begins at home, and I pray that parents are extremely cautious and sensitive regarding how they describe others. We need to know we are all the same-different exteriors, different personalities, different beliefs, different personalities, but we are ALL human beings-none being superior to the next. Differences are what make us interesting! How dull and boring it would be if we all looked alike, thought alike, felt the same emotions....we need to embrace our differences and love each other knowing it is our differences that make us unique and interesting. It is the height of ignorance to "judge" someone b/c of their skin color-why should that ever matter? It is certainly none of my business regarding another's sexual preference, and who am I to judge? The only concern regarding weight should be for health reasons...they can be on either extreme-too heavy, or too thin.

Lighten up world, and embrace each other with love. I've never known love to create resentment, hate, anger and bitterness-all of which eat away at who you are as a human being.

This is exactly what I meant. Social and cultural differences differs by ethnic groups. As it happen the ethnic people I am refering to are black people. Thats all.

Hello and thank you for your sincere answer. I have seen the program now recently and my thoughts were : wow, this could have been interesting. But were not these people what we may call loosers? In other words they were people we might say are not what we by some standars say are perfect. One so fat I found it hard to watch. One so thin I felt sick to my bone (worried), 2-3 black people (ethnic group) who obviously Amercans still do not accept. (Because they are black) Dr Phil had gathered people I am sure would never  be his close freinds. Some of us call them loosers, but to use a word like that is considered political incorrect. Also in USA I gather.

Sincerely,

Sidsel

I thought the show ended up terrific.  I could really see sincerity in Gary most of all - and B also.  Any man that has that much love in his heart for his wife and to call her "my world" or however he put that is just an old softy at heart.  His father should be shot for putting him through the beatings like he did.

As for John - oh please !  He was still looking for attention at the very last statement that he made.  He is a spoiled little brat that got nothing out of the experience.  Every word he spoke and every action he made was for pure attention seeking. 

The other gals I really think did see things differently.  I liked the fact where they walked in the others shoes.  I have fought my wieght all my life and even though I am only 150 pounds I still feel the looks and such - I really dont care since I am 50 years old, college educated and just finally realized that I like myself too much to starve to be what society says.
