Hmmmm. Opinionated. I guess if one wanted to be diplomatic, it could be said that way. Believe me, no compliment was intended.

I don't know what your problem is, but if you can't recognize Dr. Laura's condescending arrogance (what happened to "Judge not, etc. ?), then you're birds of a feather.

She needs a little dose of Christianity, so that she can better learn how to treat her fellow man. Maybe all these callers volunteer to talk to her, but I'd be interested to see just how many she actually helped. Or how many hung up the phone and slit their wrists. These poor people are nothing more that a tool for her to make money, and please the sheep who think that she's God's gift to radio.

And jealous? Nope - I have no desire to end up a bitter, lonely old hag.

Well, at least birds soar above the ground, unlike some creatures which can't seem to get their eyes out of the mud.

God save her from your kind of Christianity. A mocking, sarcastic, cutting tone like yours is one of the major reasons people flee from anything to do with Christ. And you could do with a little less judgmentalism yourself--unless, of course, you believe that "judge not" only applies to people you don't like.

Whatsa matter? You audition didn't go well?

And jealous? Nope - I have no desire to end up a bitter, lonely old hag.

Well, nobody's calling you an old hag.

I used to listen to Dr. Laura but she has now been replaced by Glenn Beck in our area. I have to admit I enjoy Beck more than the moralizing of Dr. Laura.

She has straight on advice 90% of the time and I agree with most of that advice.

That said, I was totally turned off when a few yrs. ago a listener called with the dilemna of a job problem. Laura asked her if she had any children and the caller replied one. She then proceeded to lamblast the caller about her ultimate role being a stay at home mom. She ridiculed the caller that she was worshipping the almight dollar more than her family. The caller never mentioned a husband or anyone other than her daughter.

Who is Dr. Laura to lamblast a caller , not knowing anything about this woman. Maybe she was a widow. Maybe her husband is unemployed.

The condescending manner in which this poor caller was treated was unexcusable.

[Mr. Mulliner]

I've always had a hard time listening to Dr. Laura. I don't disagree with her advice, but she's so sassy that I think she limits the effectiveness of the advice she gives out.

[It's me]

Ooooh. It seems to me that Dr. Laura's advice may just hit a little too close to home for you? Did you hear something on her program that applied to you?

Maybe you should heed her advice.
