its not the same as arrow and bullets and death its more like you exploit the poor homeless by making them do degrading things and often times violent things in which they get hurt or ppl get hurt, in order to gain a profit. Phil uses other ppl to put his own name out there, like the oprah show to get his name out there and his books to sell or w/e. its not like anyone is gettin hurt by it. and often times his advice on shows helps ppl but yes in the general sense, exploiting is exploiting ---

the bums are getting some kind of compensation for their actions… no matter how large or small. and the actions are voluntary. i’m sure Dr. Phil puts his window up in the Lexus as he passes homeless on his way to his mansion. ---

I wasn’t defending Dr. Phil. I think he’s a collosal doucebag. But the bumfights guy is a complete piece of shit, and the fact that people will defend him further lessens my faith in humanity. Waddever. ---

The stuff they showed on the Dr. Phil segment was mild compared to much of the other content. boo hoo. They are responsible for their own actions. To me being a drunken bum that lives on the streets their whole life is far more pathetic than letting some guy give you $20 to fight another bum. ---

But you can’t loop those homeless people that have mental disorders in with the druken crackheads. If some guy thinks he’s a walnut, he’s going to have a hard time getting a job.
