For the love of God, thank you.
That has been painfully obvious from your very first post. Perhaps you should reconsider your devotion to baseless content-free blitherings?
So she didn’t say the quote, or I didn’t present it properly?
If other students in the Harvard area were living in sqaulor and no other adequate schools were arounds to teach them, your analogy would be apt.
What sort of response can I give to something that stupid? She bears moral blame for the teacher’s assault because she built the school where the assault happened? The fact that I need to explain to you how stupid that is, is itself a clear indicator that you’re too dumb to understand the explanation.
OK, who ever approved that at NW is stupid too.

As for marble tiles and other opulence, this is OPRAH’S MONEY. It’s not public money, it’s not even little old ladies sending in pension checks to televangelists, this is a billionaire capitalist’s private fortune. If she wants 14 carat plated toilet seats then it’s her call; she didn’t have to give 45 cents to South Africa (which would be more than I’ve ever given). If somebody gives you a $45 million gift and they say they want marble tiles, by god have marble tiles.
Hey, shithead. No one has claimed that she couldn’t have done anything wrong. What’s been pointed out to you, again and again, is that there’s absolutely no evidence that she did do anything wrong. The cite that you yourself provided in the second post of this thread presents Oprah as a charitable woman who immediately took responsibility when something went wrong in one of her organizations, and did everything in her power to rectify the situation. And yet, you persist in villifying her, despite the fact that every single one of your attempts at character assassination has been shot down, repeatedly, by a half dozen different posters. What the hell is it going to take to get you to shut the fuck up? How many times does it have to be demonstrated to you that your criticisms have no basis in either fact or rational thought before you man up and just admit you were fucking wrong about this?
She certainly can, just as I can call it wasteful.
I can’t stand Oprah. I thought when she opened the school “heh, not like there’s no needy girls here, in the US, where she’s based”.
But like Sampiro said, it’s her damn money (well, except for the ‘damn’).
And, dislike her all you want, but she did handle this better than most public institutions would have - she was on the spot faster than you or I would have been, and took what really is swift, decisive action. Including appointing someone to independently investigate the whole thing.
Please address this specific post:
I say either she knew what was going and did nothing (0.00001% percent chance) or she did **not ** know what was going on and is a big phony by claiming over and over she was on top of the daily events. No one says she should have this knowledge, no one fucking expects her to. She makes the claim. I watch the goddamn show every fucking day, I hear it over and over. I’ll try to sort throught my bound volumes of Oafrah transcripts to get you the specific cite, like that’ll fucking matter.
Now instead of abstract dismissals, please address what you feel the problem to be with the above. that and my opinion that the money could have been better spent on a less opulent school for more kids are the claims I have made. For a minute drop the grandstanding and address, por favor.
Yeah, you’d have to be stupid to think Oprah knows anything about leadership just because she runs some businesses and a TV production company and a magazine and some charities and made herself an ungodly sum of money along the way.
I can understand thinking the woman (I call her Oprah Foster Kane) is too big for her britches, but I don’t see the crime she’s committed against Wee Bairn.
And you’ll sound like a whiney little petty byotch doing it.
Unless…
Wee, has a South African teacher been touching you inappropriately and saying Oprah told her to?
because it happened to me too…
and I liked it! God help me, I likedddddddddd it!
nope.
I think this is what he’s saying his problem with Oprah’s lavish gift is.
On the contrary, your stance is entirely based on “facts.”
