Thank you so much for this comment. If we're talking relics from previous battles in other countries, most would want to see armaments from both sides. That doesn't mean you are taking a side, you're just trying to paint a picture of the past. These Jim Crow era statues were meant to send a message and constitute no historical merit whatsoever. Furthermore any historical edifices, relics, and armaments from that time which have survived should always have the shameful history associated with them documented and dually condemned on a placard front and center in front of them.

@@sedg83 Because writing out their atrocities and why they were made in the first place would shed a grim light on those who celebrate the hatred.

[@surfwriter8461]

And those statues were meant to be a symbol of the continuing power held by white patriarchs and racists, whose sick values were being promoted as staunchly clinging to a past that betrayed supposed American ideals. Those statues were meant to be intimidating, telling people of color that the white supremacists will continue to hold power and subjugate those who were not of the privileged race.

Phil’s assertion that the birth rate decline is due to reduced religiosity is ludicrous. My own mother was quite religious and she had an abortion because she didn’t want to have another child with a philandering oppressor, my father. And there is a difference between fertility and fertility rate. Infertility and low fertility are biological, not related to relogiosity, which is sociological, not biological. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has linked lifestyle factors such as obesity, strenuous physical labor, excessive exercise, substance use, heavy drinking, high blood pressure and others to increasing rates of infertility. And the choice of women to practice family planning derives from developments in fertility technology and women’s rights, not such a simple causation as religiosity. I have watched Phil a lot over the years and agree with quite a lot of his assessments, but he clearly didn’t study a lot of research protocols for his Doctorate.

Dr Phil that was a terrible comparison between changing a speed limit and changing the name of buildings or schools named after significant Confederate figures.

The comparison that Dr. Phil makes between changing school names/removing statues to changes in speed limit laws was pretty pathetic in my opinion. There are very significant and obvious legal/moral/ethical issues around the ownership of human beings that simply don't exist with speed limit laws.

having living wage, universal healthcare, financial security does absolutely nothing for fertility if people just do not want to have kids. btw you can be in absolute poverty, and have 5-6 children (africa)

[@adakahless]

@@joy1ess It's actually a lack of education that increases birth rates. The more educated will factor in financial costs and logistics of having a child, and won't likely have one. Poverty stricken Africa has lead to angry men not making enough to support a family so they go get drunk, rape their wives who go on to birth children, thereby compounding the problem of not being able to afford them. The more educated women are taking control of their lives, having a career or supporting their families in other ways. It's true even in America where the more educated the person, more likely they refuse to have children or will wait until they are financially stable to do it.

I wish the public would STOP calling him “Doctor Phil” - he is NOT a medical doctor and he lost his license to practice clinical psychology approximately 15 years ago due to serious professional misconduct and ethics violations. Please call him by his correct name - Phil McGraw. He should NOT be called “a doctor” because he lost his license to practice clinical psychology because he violated professional ethics by having one of his patients drawn into a financial business relationship with him. He hired a patient of his to work for him, which is clearly illegal. He would have had his license taken away from the state license board and in order to avoid bad publicity - Phil McGraw and his lawyers/public relations handlers decided to make public statements “He decided not to continue praticing as a clinical psychologist in order to focus on publishing books, public speaking and his television show”. Dr. Phil had a sexual relationship with a patient and she went to the state licensing board and filed a formal grievance. This was long before Dr. Phil became famous. Before he was famous he owned a sleazy fitness gym and there were numerous and VALID allegations of him sexually harrassing his female employees. His fitness gym also had serious financial problems with this business - it eventually went “bust” and closed. What I dislike about Phil McGraw is his bombastic, egotistical personality. He is a “Know It All” and frequently insults and talks down to the guests on his show. The premise of the show is embarrassing and talking down to the guests. THIS is why people tune in to watch his program. I don’t like “Judge Judy” either - because she is rude, insulting to guests on her program BUT at least she is a REAL judge with a valid license……..unlike Phil McGraw who is banned from practicing as a clinical psychologist because he lost his license to practice. Let’s face it - the primary premise of the Dr Phil show is it serves as an INFOMERCIAL for Phil McGraw to hawk his products, sell his merchandise, plug his sons tv shows and sell his wifes crappy skin care products. EVERY SINGLE EPISODE has “product placement” informercial segment with Phil McGraw selling his products

I could find a outlier for every single thing that was said say for instance a parent dies. It’s ridiculous to think these things are the issues with crime. Crime is a choice no matter what situation you are in. There are people that come from suburban homes and go to retail outlets and commit thefts. This is why the conservative mind is complex and filled with conspiracy theories that they think of as fact.

His argument was out of line from the start, but it is a debate tactic. Not a very honorable one, to say the least. Because he stated something where we are forced to agree with him. Now that we are on agreeable terms it is easier to take this agreeable thing and compare it to something unagreeable. Now we are more likely to agree to this aswell, due to the established consensus of agreeing with the one presenting the case. It's weird to explain and I forgot how this type of argument was called again. One thing is certain though: This is a tactic to persuade not to convice. It was never about being reasonable. It was about him trying to force us to shut up and not demand change. It would have been easy to debunk this, if David would have asked him if he would agree, that a hypothetical "A. Hitler School" should keep it's name. Because that is exactly what he is arguing for. If he is trying to play it dirty, we have to put im on the spot and challenge the fundamental idea he is arguing for.

@@denihawkins1 Filing for bankruptcy is what a business man who is good at milking the system uses to get richer and richer. That's what bankruptcy is really for - to shield rich people from huge losses when things go badly. So in that regards he is a "good business man".

I have watched this clip a few times now, because it's a masterful display of logic from Dave Pakman. I know his background is in political science, but I suspect he's a philosophy fiend on the side. He presents his thoughts almost like a lawyer would, which is a methodical step-by-step approach, steeped in logic. In this clip, Dave calmly and respectfully forces Dr. Phil into a corner, without him even realizing he's being lead into it. Once in that corner, Dr. Phil knows he now looks like an idiot, but by then, it's too late. I'm a huge fan of Dave Pakman! 👍
