Oprah

[Janet]

Okay, here goes one of those healthly debates that Rebecca was wanting....LOL

I think Oprah is a great role model and had every right to build the school for those girls in Africa. She has done a lot for kids in the United States, alot of it has been done through her Angel Network.

Why wouldn't she get frustrated. My personal opinion is most American kids do not value an education the way some other other countries do. Yes...alot do go on to higher education, but I do not think that it's because the value the education so much...it's so they get the better jobs and more money to buy all the high dollar items. Please know I'm not saying ALL kids are like that. Education is just not valued as much here.

Why not go and put money out where it is truely appreciated and for a better cause? It's similiar to why would I for instance want to give whatever money I had to some drug addcit who would just blow it away or to someone who would use it to make their life better. It's her choice too. I watched the Video and that lady was grasping for straws to make her point. It isn't Oprah's fault kids want IPods and the like. Yes she gave high dollar items away on her show, what's wrong with that. To be in a position to give away things that some just can not afford...it was her way of showing her appreciation to her audiences throughout the year and to show some of the items she really likes and enjoys.

I think Oprah is wonderful and until she does something so unChristian and against the United States..I will stand by her and my opinion of her.

Okay everyone, what do you all think about Oprah and her school?
