wow, that demuisz is pretty confident that everyone loves her nasty underside. another youtube submitter in a sociopathetic lifestyle thinking importance is how much cellulite you can culture and flaunt it like the curds and whey lil mis tuffet was speaking of. sluts are always right. she's used to street thugs agreeing with everything she says for some sloppy curds. if only she hadn't met these guys maybe she'd have some class. whatta shame.

personally i don't think you even understand your own religion...how do you know that you yourself aint going to hell? Because your what you are reading tells you so? Well then you're a very suggestable girl because doesn't it even say this for muslims: that people who don't follow allah will be turned into apes and pigs?...they think they are going to what they call heaven too. Look at your your own self first and make sure that your not deceiving your own self.

God bless you Oprah for being real and staying true to your vision,you continue to shine a light in the darkness,exposing abuse,
and teaching us all to be more tolerant of our diferences,there is only one race the human race,and your message has always been peace.

But that is my ... ( 5 days ago by Christianwarriorgirl)

But that is my point all paths can't lead to heaven like Oprah said, because all the paths contradict each other. They would all have to be true for them all to lead to heaven, and since they contradict each other that is false. It doesn't make any logical sense.

Gosh. I wish I could speak like she does! I love the words she uses to describe her thoughts and opinions.

I wish men would be ... ( 3 days ago by drinksleepeatfilms)

I wish men would be happier for her. Why does it feel like some girls club. She speaks for everyone. Is it so disgusting and boring for them to see women being celebrated for their personality and vision rather than their looks? Whats going on?

All paths don't ... ( 3 days ago by cinemaman3105)

All paths don't contradict eachother. Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, and Hinduism may be different religions but that doesn't mean they contradict each other. They have more in common than they don't

lol, might it be ... ( 2 days ago by breastinspector2)

lol, might it be that Oprah is, on an exaggerated stance, trying to be a greedy version of Jesus? Telling the masses what,when, and how to do things. She mixes good things like weight loss & gifts to those in need with her own personal desires and wants. A simple, perhaps better way to say this as a quote example is "I'll give them some ganiunely good advice, & then once they trust me I'll tell them to do something that I personally want to see done", and men seem to notice that last part more?

"men seem to notice ... ( 2 days ago by drinksleepeatfilms)

"men seem to notice that last part more?"
Oh PLEASE! The rest of your post is your opinion and I cant and wont argue with it though I dont agree. She is simply spreading her message and not brainwashing as you imply but again this all down to our own opinions. "breastinspector"

well, apparently ... ( 2 days ago by breastinspector2)

well, apparently Oprah isn't the only thing you need to pay more attention to. Howabout the second third and fourth words in my message and their implication on all that followed? I did, however, seem to notice my sense of humor and now feel hostile towards me after saying something disreputable towards Oprah Winfrey, and icon that you seem to appreciate as greatly as the stereotypical housewives that never miss a show.
(And btw, I said that "last part" line that way because I ran out of space)

No. Any feelings I ... ( 2 days ago by drinksleepeatfilms)

No. Any feelings I have towards what you say is because of your men comment and because of your name. And now the stereotypical housewives comment. Im not going to get involved in slanging match with where we trade insults.

I can't help but ... ( 2 days ago by breastinspector2)

I can't help but imagine that if your text had a tone, it would be one that is meant to make the other person cringe. And by the way, saying you're not going to get involved in the arguement in two seperate comments, I think, defeats the purpose of saying it at all.
Also, you might want to add "(Retorical Question)" to your posts so that people know that you aren't ganiunely looking for an answer, or a fight....which you say you aren't, right? Or am I also wrong about that part, too? XD

I have been very ... ( 2 days ago by drinksleepeatfilms)

I have been very clear. I said I wouldnt get involved in a slanging match not an argument which are 2 different things. I dont need to add any retorical questions to my posts when I havent asked you a question. No one said you are wrong about anything. Though I apologise to you on singling out your name. Just because I dont like it, doesnt mean I should do that. This is all I have to say to you.

Either "What's ... ( 2 days ago by breastinspector2)

Either "What's going on?" means a response is requested from whoever is willing and able to respond, or it is retorical. You claim it was not directed towards me, a random commenter, nor was it retorical? What does that make your question then? This will be MY question to YOU now.

But Christianity ... ( 2 days ago by Christianwarriorgirl)

But Christianity says the only way to God is Jesus. So if Chrisitianity is true than Jesus is the only way to heaven. Islam says they are the one true religion. So if Islam is right than that is the only way to heaven. Hinduism calls buddah the euilvialent of a demon. So if hinduism is right than buddah is a demon and buddiasm is wrong. See how they contradict each other. They can't all be true because then they would all be false. Only one therefore must be true. Go look for the truth.

It could be that none of them are true too. :)
