Missing the point again ...


no. the "point" is, and I can state it, as I am the OP, is that Oprah, while being all preachy, offering 100,000 for the caputure of asian esl pedophiles, is so busy being a TV preacher that she doesn't even look after her own school, directly hiring a pedophile that abused over 15 girls. maybe if she spent more time looking after her own poo, and less time gabbing, this would have been prevented. i directly hold her responsible for this.

If she wants the glory and recognition for her "wonderful" school she is then also responsible for what happens. It ain't her fault, but she IS responsible.

She's just lucky her viewer demographic is too stupid to understand this.

last thing i'm gonna do is research oprahs archival footage for you guys.


Yeah, and the first thing you're going to do is throw around unsubstantiated allegations.

I'm having trouble getting my head around why Oprah is a bad person for campaigning against sex tours for pedophiles in SE Asia. Stopping this kind of outrage is a bad thing?

I see you STILL have not proven your point about your original assertions.

You claimed that she made statements about the ESL industry... where are they? Did you personally hear her or witness them? Or did you read about them somewhere?

While I haven't seen a link to them, it would surprise me little that Oprah criticized English teachers in Asia, or the industry in general, for being prime for pedophiles.

Ooh, Oprah! Protect us from the child predators! You go, girl! In return, we'll keep watching your bloated *beep*-ulcer of a show. And while you're fighting tirelessly night and day to catch the predators, we'll ignore the fact that you're quietly banking millions of dollars of advertising revenue! And just in case we forget why you're doing it, you'll keep reminding us of the terrible crimewave that you're protecting us from - we'll never forget you, Megan! We'll never forget you, Amber! And just in case we ever mistake your cynical commercial cash-drive for what it really is, please do remind us that YOU YOURSELF were abused, won't you? And in return, we'll try to forget the fact that most sexual abuse occurs within the home and is carried out by family members, just so long as you tirelessly hunt down the predators that walk our streets and our playgrounds. Please don't ever rest until our neighbourhoods are safe, Oprah! Otherwise we'll have to continue to keep our pathetic, fat, lardy arses stuck on the sofa whilst we shovel snack products down our slack, gormless gullets and slurp diet soda and read your book of the *beep* month and let you continue to treat us like the dried-up, orotund, spoonfed *beep* MORONS that we really are.


Couldnt have said it better myself. I hate this woman.

Where is your proof that she labelled all esl teachers pedophiles?.

I understand the charges relate to common assault, not sexual abuse.

I see in other threads you don't provide links either.

But OK, I'll admit. It was from watching Oprah during the Mark Karr incident. She said male ESL teachers in Asia have a high likelyhood of being pedophiles. or something to that effect. Actually, I could swear there was a discussion about it here, or another website. But again, no, I'm not gonna google to scrounge it up for you Bonb-Bon eaters. I know what that cow said, as do lots of others somewhere the discussion went on. Either here or Ajarn or maybe Marmots.

Listen, I schooled you there as well, so I'll put it here. There are no links available for my personal observations about the zoo. If you are too thick to understand that, then you really shouldn't be teaching anyone.

However, you seem to have caught on to it, and are NOW using it in this thread. So, you have no link but you think you heard it on a show... fine. I'm not sure why you didn't say that 3 pages ago when asked repeatedly (and only said it after I gave the "personal example" example), but, meh, whatever.

You obviously have a hate on for the woman - and I'm sure you have your reasons for it.

But as far as I can see, you've only proven that she hired someone who later committed a crime. Unless you have some Minority Report way of telling who will commit a crime in the future, how would anyone not fall into the same situation?

Did she commit the crime?

Did she support the criminal after the fact?

Did she try to cover it up?

What exactly did she do wrong here?? Hire someone who went on to do something bad??

Wow, pretty loose tie-in there man.

But hey, continue your hate on for the woman, no skin off my nose. I am (and maybe others reading this are) just mising what exactly she did in this situation that is so bad.

No links so dont flame me but why the hell does she have to be such a stuck up, sanctimonious turd anyway? I respected Mother Theresa because she did what she did out of a personal devotion. But Oprah? Its all for show so she can score some points for her image and make more money. All her charity, all her good works are a big PR campaign. A big, fat hypocrite.

Presumably Oprah has a LOT of people on staff, all over the world.

Some employees obviously over-step the line. Lacking practical wisdom, skillful means, they manifest personal issues feeding baggage which should immediately disqualify them from any entrusted position.

The BIG "O" presumably has a good heart, & is clearly committed to resolving all problems Idea

I'm stunned by the number of so-called "men" defending the battleaxe. Many of you guys are acting like Oprah is your mom. WTF?

IS she really that bad? A beee-yatch & "battle-ax" as you put it?

Why not give credit where credit is due?

What are you talking about? I wasn't arguing with you on that thread. I was simply reading it and noticed you provided the following answer to someone who demanded a link from you:

there are no links for me watching a TV program.

really? what does that say about you?

Captain Corea wrote:

Nope, just link you in the zoo thread, no link. Just my own eyes and ears, like you in the zoo thread, but somehow you want people to believe your observation, but not mine. because, what? you draw comics, a pastime most 8 year-olds have grown out of?
Captain Corea wrote:

That would entail admitting to have watched Oprah.

She personally interviewed and deemed the pedophile of good character. She's responsible. Just the way the world works.
