Bittersweet Candy Bowl Forums

Watch this.

Your thoughts?

• First I would like to say on the behalf of the kid, thank God he is not my son. Thank God, Apollo, Zeus, Hera, Mathew, Lucifer, Satan, Santa Christ, Chuck Norris, and many more that this kid was not my mother's son.
  
• Second, I can feel for the kid 'cuz he can be telling the truth and this woman can be a total bitch.
  
• Third, fuck Dr. Phil. He's not even a real doctor. He has no actual jurisdiction to weigh in on this case.
  
• Fourth, this kid shouldn't slap his mother. He might not even be telling the truth, and he really needs to get his ass beat if he is pretending to be a victim and not an actual victim.

What would you do? What are your opinions? Ideas?

(I went through this fast, so there's no real grammar here. Sorry.)

Yeah fuck him and his Masters in Experimental Psychology and his Phd in Clinical Psychology, that doesn't make him a doctor! You have to work in a hospital and know diseases and shit to be a real doctor!

Also where is his white lab coat and surgical mask!? THE FUCK IS THIS?

Incest for the Wincest.

If I remember correctly, McGraw has a Ph.D. in psychology. He went to a university on a football scholarship, but he got injured. I think Dr. Phil earned a master's degree in experimental psychology and a doctorate in clinical psychology. He started a psychology practice with his da-da, if I'm not mistaken, but during ten years or so of treating patients, Phil didn't have the fucking patience for the damn job.

McGraw helped the Oprah Winfrey in a court battle against some sort of beef industry (and you know what happens when it comes to Oprah and beef). After that Dr. Phil became a psychology expert on Oprah's show, and I don't need to explain what that led to.

He is also full of conservative bullshit, and overall, bullshit. So, even though he has the credentials, I don't respect him enough to see to it that he is a doctor, when all he does is give out BS that people can easily tell ya or make up. Some of it is good, but most of it is shit. It's like if I said, "Don't jump into lava." You shouldn't, but I highly doubt that I need to inform you of that.

Nearly anyone can do his job. All you need to do is be able to express yourself in a manner that is persuasive and generous. I'm pretty sure you can do his job, I can do his job, Toffee can do his job, my brother can, and the list goes on.

I consider him as much as a doctor... Let me put it this way, Phil is to doctors as Palin is to governors. (Keep in mind, Palin is no longer a governor.)

Im not that very suprised by this. And that mom needs to do this

DMLD, God help anyone you try to give psychological advice to. For the love of GOD don't try and say you can just sit there and talk to someone and honestly think you are qualified to be a therapist. Cause you are shitting me bro, seriously, you are shitting me.

This. And bearing in mind both I and Commie have Psychology qualifications, and are both peopel who like helping friends... yeah, you saying your an "unlicenced psychologist" like in that Yahoo answers thing, we know how much BS that is. Because it's nothing like it.

Doesn't matter if you consider him a doctor or not, he has a Phd and can legally use the title of Doctor before his name. Also I'm pretty sure you WOULDN'T be able to do his job because before the first episode even aired your show would be cancelled due to the whole audience committing suicide in the middle of trying to record it.


Oh and great job saying the exact same thing in this Yahoo Answer dumbed down. Though I bet no one saw that coming due to your history of simply googling your answer and trying to sound intelligent.

That's called being, "ironic". It's to point out that even a kid can give you some common sense. Yeah, going to a university will help you a lot, for example you learn how the hume mind works, but you don't need to be the smartest person in the world to help someone.

(What courses did you study, by the way? Like what exact courses and stuff.)

You're assuming without logical closure, thus your prior termination of me not being able to do his job is illogical and easily refutable.

I actually studied this. People kept calling him a phony, so I studied up and concluded that he is full of shit and doesn't deserve the title of a doctor. He might have earned it, but he doesn't deserve it. Besides, if I copied and pasted, I could have put the whole exact thing and cite my source instead of typing it down from memory.

Ubertoast, licensed counselor, but it's cool he doesn't know what he's talking about. Also, persuading the second semester as a sophomore for a BA in Psychology, totally don't have a clue since it's obvious you have had high school psychology as you entire bases as to why you are qualified.

I have all the logical closure I need to determine that you would make one of the world's shittiest psychologists in your current state, and that you would not be able to perform Dr. Phil's job.

And uh, where did I say you copy and pasted? I said you dumbed down everything said in that article to make it less obvious that you were just getting all your "previously known" information from a source you just now googled.

I'm not sure if DMLD is being kept around only because his arguments are hilariously dumb or because nobody really cares

It's because it makes everyone laugh and it's a blast to read everything he says and talk about it. It brings the community together.

That said, being a Doctor of Philosophy is much more than he ever did. Dr. Phil, the show, is a TV show. TV shows are supposed to attract viewers to attract advertisers to make money. Of course it's stupid. In addition, the guy writes stupid books on changing your life.

What I like about McGraw, though, is that he actually knows the theories, maybe even practise behind this stuff. The show is about dramatically resolving an issue and then sending the people to actual therapists. It's even outright usually stated that the people who get in the show get free-ish therapy. But he knows or is supposed to know how that thing goes and he seems to be doing just fine with telling people what to do. Being Americans, a lot of people probably follow him like he's their savior and the new coming of Jesus.

But he's got a diploma. He's got proof he's qualified to tell people what's wrong with them — or more accurately, what might be.

Regardless, on the original subject of the thread, kids nowadays appear to be incredibly stupid, horribly opinionated, impatient, lazy, rich assholes.
Hell, I probably apply for half of those. If you drop "rich", at least.

And the biggest problem is when holier-than-thou hypocrites point out how others are dumb and whatnot when they themselves share these qualities.

But hey, that's just my opinion. I don't really know.
Which is the issue with the world.

You never know.

If I EVER saw someone do that, whether it were a kid or not, I would walk over and fucking rip them a new one and stick up for that mother. THIS KIND OF THING MAKES ME IRATE.

First off, let me point out that a kid who's acting out like this is, most likely, suffering from abuse, intense bullying or a major life changing situation (parent dying, divorce). In no way is it an excuse, but kids react badly to these sort of things... pretty much as you're seeing now. Does it excuse this behavior? Hell no. But it is a common, accepted reason behind it.

He could also simply be a spoiled brat who's learning things don't go his way.

For all you people claiming "hitting him" or "beating his ass" is the answer, it's not. This is not simply a kid acting up, it's much more complicated. Corporal punishment is ONLY going to aggravate the problem. Your first reaction to being hit is to run or fight--exactly the two things that are not going to help the situation. In addition, if bullying and/or a life changing situation is the cause, it's going to make the one place he thought he was safe seem unsafe. In the end, you're going to get a screwed up adolescent and a fucked up adult.

Not that I am not a psychiatrist or therapist. I don't claim to be. But since the age of 6 I've been in the mental health system, so I've SEEN THIS BEHAVIOR. Hell, I've been responsible for it. The solution is not quick. Hard work is required on the part of everyone in the child's life. It is not the child's sole responsibility to bear--his family and friends are going to need to drastically change their behaviors as well. It is not easy. Expect months, years of therapy before results are shown. And no, I don't know the solution; therapy and psychiatry is tailored to the patient, so there is no "one solution fits all" choice anyway.

Honestly I think Dr. Phil is a quack, regardless of his degrees. His approaches are neither mainstream nor effective. More importantly, regardless of his patients' consent, no legitimate psychiatrist or therapist would EVER broadcast a session on national television without heavily obscuring the patient's identity. Yes--psychiatrists often write books about unique cases--but they change important details so the case cannot be traced back to the patient. There is a law about this anyway: HIPPA. But really, DMLD, you are far less qualified on this subject than even he is.

I see what is going on here, DMLD is jealous!

This is a big kid though, compared to her there is not an large amount of difference in size, even if getting physical with the kid was an answer she probably won't be able to without a lot of trouble. I wouldn't be surprised if this kid was the one who bullies other kids at school, he doesn't seem like one to back down from a fight when his 'power' is threatened, if he would hit his mom then I doubt he would not hit other kids.

This post has been edited by matty_batty0: 16 August 2011 - 12:28 PM

You know, the real answer is this: Hitting your kids at all does nothing to help them. Do you want to know how I know? Because, starting from the time I was young, my father would hit me if I did something wrong. Not with his hands, not at first, I was just a kid. But he would take me and smack me across the ass with his belt. I walked away with a stinging butt, red marks, and a deep hatred for him. It did nothing to make me realize what I had done was wrong, I was just angry and upset. He threatened more than once to use his 'biker belt', one that was studded with small, steel spikes. I was scared shitless of him, and still am, to the point I consider calling the cops when he threatens to 'beat me to a bloody pulp and throw me out of his house'. More recently, he hit me again, but this time he punched me straight in the gut and knocked the wind out of me. I was on the floor. Again, it didn't help him, and all it did was make me hate him and not want to listen to him.

Furthermore, his mother is a stupid bitch as well. You don't fight violence with violence. Treating your kids kindly, fairly, and firmly from the very beginning wouldn't result in shit like this.

This post has been edited by Susan: 16 August 2011 - 05:13 PM

There's a fair amount of corporeal punishment. I got smacked across the face by my mother on several occasions, and I don't hate her for it. I deserved it, I did something stupid, and it kept me from doing it again because I didn't like getting smacked across the face. Using a belt is a bit much, and threatening violence doesn't help. A parent's intent should NOT be to hurt their child, or make the child fear them. It should be one quick little thing to keep them in line, so they know what they did was wrong, and only if they really act up about it and won't listen when you tell them not to do it again.

The only time my dad spanked me with a belt was when I was little, and only when I was little, because the was when I directly disobeyed him or when I was being nasty with my brothers. But he used a belt that was flat. Now all he does is flick me in the ear, since I only do minor stuff, like when I don't take out the trash. Or he gives me a punch in the arm. I don't sense anything malicious when he does it, though.

if your kid is being a annoying little shit that wouldn't listen to you, You need to teach them who is the boss. My dad used to spank me when I was being bad when I was young, I don't "Hate him for it", It was the right thing to do because it made me realize that I wasn't the boss, and that I shouldn't be a little shit. That kid needs to be punched in the fucking face. Oh he and he needs to lose some weight.

You're father went way too fucking far.

Hitting your child is something you shouldn't do at first. And you don't threaten your child like that. It's way better to talk things out and have a fair understanding, and to teach someone wrong from right. I don't mind that my parents used to beat me (probably 'cuz I got used to both physical and verbal abuse), and I used to hate them for it, but shit, they were looking out for my best intentions. Sometimes they were wrong, sometimes I was wrong. I used to get beatings all the time in the first grade 'cuz my teacher always wrote a report where I was bad, even when I wasn't.

My punishments were often where I had to get on my knees, sometimes on rice or a weird cheese grater thingie, and had to stay there for a few hours. (Sometimes I just got up and walked around when my mom was not looking.) Mixed with that, I usually got beat with a belt or a sandal or a broom.

Now-a-days, my mom slaps me (it doesn't hurt) or my dad just hits me with a fist (not that painful), but they rarely do it.
