LOL, "Dr. Drew" mentions Bratfree.wink

It's obvious Dr. Drool doesn't "get" childfree sites.:GOMIIMOG

http://www.hlntv.com/video/2014/07/09/justin-ross-harris-search-child-free-websites

Dr. Drew is a fucking psychiatrist. One would think he'd fucking have at least an elementary understanding of CFdom. I don't buy for a minute that he hasn't encountered a CF person who in fact DOES NOT embody the breeder-established, projection-driven stereotype.


God dammit, that pisses me right the fuck off.

I just saw this mentioned on reddit and was wondering what this was about.

BTW, to pull up the link, take out the extra http's at the beginning

Dr. Drew is media savvy enough to know VERY WELL that he took that quote from here completely out of context. Stunningly deceiving of him to do that.

He references a quote from here about the Georgia duh who left his kyd in the car and left so much evidence to make the world think he did it in purpose. The quote, from this site, that he gave on the tv show is something like 'looks like the parunts of lil' sizzlers will have to get more creative' - AS IF TO SAY PEOPLE ON HERE ARE ADVOCATING FOR MURDER.

Dr. Drew, you know perfectly well that you took that completely out of context, and you are grossly irresponsible for doing so.

The people on this site find these acts of letting kyds (and pets) roast in cars to be ABHORRENT, and it was most definitely, most obviously, SARCASM AND SATIRE in an attempt to shame the assholes who roast their kyds in their vehicles.

Man the ramparts against the onslaught of trolls.

It is just a way to shift the blame from the "Parent" category to the "CF" category.

My psychiatrist knew plenty of CF people. Funny that.

“I was talking about children that have not been properly house-trained. Left to their own impulses and indulged by doting or careless parents almost all children are yahoos. Loud, selfish, cruel, unaffectionate, jealous, perpetually striving for attention, empty-headed, for ever prating or if words fail them simply bawling, their voices grown huge from daily practice: the very worst company in the world. But what I dislike even more than the natural child is the affected child, the hulking oaf of seven or eight that skips heavily about with her hands dangling in front of her -- a little squirrel or bunny-rabbit -- and prattling away in a baby's voice.”

Jesus, natalists are such sadistic monsters. "Obviously we need to discredit the childfree movement and pressure everyone to breed so as to stop these terrible murders by people who don't like being parents!" There is never anything these fuckstains think can't be solved by MOAR BREEDING.

I don't know, I don't think he has a huge audience and I'm sure they have a short attention span. His show is very annoying with a lot of guests, mostly youngish women in sleeveless dresses it seems, rudely talking and yelling over each other but not really saying anything informative.

Satire, snark, sarcasm and wit are under attack. Everything must be simple, PC, straightforward and inclusive lest the simpletons fail to understand, or worse get their feewings hurt. Everything must be based on feelings and emotion, no one wants to feel bad so many will deny a dad could have intentionally done this thing to his kid. That's where we are now. That will be the jury the defense will seek. The prosecution is afraid to charge with malice because the jury won't want to fry the daddy. All this lack of comprehension and denial, so blame a scapegoat, the "mean" CF, because they dare use lingo and sarcasm.

It's not like Dr. Drew didn't engage in plenty of snark and banter when he worked with Adam Carolla, who I actually kind of like if just because he refuses to go all PC and sell out.

Pinsky strikes me as a boring old whitewashed media whore who thinks he is smarter than everyone. He can insult the openly childfree, but if Cameron Diaz went on his show he'd be all drooly and accommodating. Why not call her sinister or part of the underworld, she's been talking about being CF in the media.

THIS.

This is the way all "news/talk shows" shows are run on TV. And the speech is so unprofessional. Was that script written by some kids in elementary school?

Dr. Drew is so good at his job that probably half the people that were on his "Celebrity Recovery" show are dead.

Nice job! I do NOT understand demonizing us instead of parents that kill their kids? I guess someone else besides the special class called parents has to be blamed. I still think parents hold an even higher esteem and worship in this country than kids.

Fuck.
I used to like Dr. Drew. This is the definitive end of any fondness.
He made a lot of sense at a time of my life where I needed more sense and less gut reaction feeeeeelings. The old days of loveline are long gone.
I noticed many years ago that Adam could run loveline just as well without Drew there regardless who was filling in for the Dr., he had picked up the basics from Drew.
And all Pinsky's talk about the triplets made me progressively uneasy with him.
Of course Adam had to go and breed too, but it did sound like he did it to appease the wife, not out of much personal desire. But how is he now that the twins are older with personalities, I wonder? I haven't listened to anything with Adam in it for a long time, probably since not too long after The Hammer, which was really cute, I thought.

Well, Dr. Poo just shot himself in the foot, didn't he? If any of his 'audience' decides to come here and read that thread, they will see that he totally took the entire thing out of context just to talk about something on his stupid show. It's obvious that WE ARE DISGUSTED BY PARUNTS WHO MURDER THEIR CHYLDRUN and do NOT ADVOCATE MURDER AS A WAY FOR PARUNTS TO GET OUT OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES.

If shooting the messenger is what he has to do in order to make parunts feel better, then obviously he's just a bottom-feeding troll like the rest of 'em.

Well, they _were_ addicts... Croaking themselves was a statistical likelihood, if not inevitability; we only ended up noticing it more readily bc of the show. Otherwise, each case would've been a standard blurb of Hollywood tragedy.

But what he said on the show the other day was irresponsible as fuck, and he should have exercised diplomacy, instead of having a knee-jerk reaction (calculated or not), perpetuating the shitstorm that this fucking FryDaddy started by being a selfish, heartless, murderous asshole.

"Parents" who kill their spawn get a slap on the wrist from the judicial system and pity from the society, since they've Suffered Enoughâ„¢. Bratfree members' attitude towards horrific crimes like these is the exact opposite, which should be obvious to anyone with more than two brain cells. Yet it's the "eeeebil chyyyld hat0rz" who get judged.

The thing is that it's quite clear what the poster meant even out of context, so it's no wonder this so-called psychiatrist and his cackling brood of hens hung onto the "lil' sizzler" part.

I don't have low self-esteem. That's a mistake. I have low esteem for everyone else.

What a load of :BS

Dr. Drew: I like how you had to emphasize Bratfree, Bratfree.com when you spoke, And just in case they missed it, your screen capture of our front page was so educational, don't you think? Quoting some of our posts out of context on the air for sensationalism is such a classy thing to do dontcha think?

Spare us your fake outrage at reading some of our threads, and spare us your pseudo-intellectual commentators on your show, commenting on Bratfree. Samantha's anger and "horror" at hearing about Bratfree was as phony as a $7 bill. You all knew that childfree people existed LONG before Harris killed his son. Only now, you can try to scapegoat us for Cooper's murder, because we're an easy target. We tend to be quiet, and mind our own business. What if he had looked at truuconfessions before murdering his son? Would you be trying to shift the blame to all the moos there who bitch and moan about having kids?

So, spare us the fake outrage, the bleached blonde, botoxed, raccoon eyed "experts." Spare us your shock at learning that childfree people exist. I presume you never saw the TIME magazine cover?

To answer Samantha's question, "Who are these people?" We are your neighbors, your lawyers, your teachers, your cashiers, your doctors, your bankers, your small business owners. Childfree people are everywhere, and we are not going away. And, if you look at the latest data from the US Census, our numbers are growing.

The worst part is when he goes straight from quoting BF to saying the he can't believe people are relating to and glorifying it (what the monster-duhd did). I just can't fucking believe this, it's just so outrageous. Someone in the comments said he owes us an apology. Yeah that will surely happen.

It's one thing to do this kind of thing online between forums or individuals where someone can respond and defend themselves, something else to be a public celebrity doing it on tv. It's so wrong to say that we relate to the scumbag when it is so fully the opposite. We are the LAST to be able to relate to this guy in ANY way.

At least the heads on that show seem to think the guy is guilty, like us. Some other current events yapfest shows seem to be pulling in the other direction - a mistake, insanity, blah, blah. They need to go after each other, leave the childfree forums out of it.

I think a parent with regrets needs to suck it up and grow up, be a good strong parent even if your life isn't what you thought. Sorry, dear doctor, if that isn't evil or "bizarre" enough for you. eyes2

Those in entertainment industry always say that there is no such thing as bad publicity. I hope dr's Drew show gave us some free advertisement. While we will get an influx of trolls, we may also get some good CF people.

when pinsky gets a gun stuck in his face for reporting child abuse he can call me.
Until then the fame whore can kiss my

Dear Dr. Poo fans:

Get it through your thick skulls, we do not advocate murdering children. We are sick and tired of people getting a pass to MURDER children. Now that it became obvious what was happening with this trend, you fuckers pass the blame onto the childfree because you can't face the fact that some people should have just closed their damn legs or used protection. The more you shit on us childfree, the more society encourages rampant breeding despite mental health or economic situations, which is terrible if a good size of the population should NOT be having children at all.

Let it be a choice and advocate for childfree people as well. Birth control and abortion is way kinder than a fucking hot car death.

I do not want anything to do with children in my daily life. I have never done anything to harm a child, nor do I care to bake them in hot cars, for that is a shitty way to die. I just want to live in peace.

People like this piece of shit that murdered the child with a hot car death deserve the same done to them. They are not ChildFree in our eyes. Child free means you never birthed a child. Once the kid is out, you are a parent. Give the child up for adoption, or DEAL with raising it. No fucking take backs and you do not get to be part of our community if you're a murdering piece of shit. If you have a kid, bed, made, lie. :bedmadelie

BF was mentioned by some idiot ranter and quoted on the "justice quest" website as well. I found that by Googling the Dr. Drew quote, because I wondered who on here he might've been quoting, and I was lazy to go back and look. I thought it might've been me; maybe it was, don't know.

But yeah, it's ridiculous. We don't want children. We don't advocate killing children. Why the hell is that so hard to understand?

If you don't want children, don't have them. And if you did have them and regret them, then give them to someone else. I have never seen anyone here advocate for murder; quite the opposite. We're the ones who are wholly appalled at abusive parents. We're not the ones making excuses for abusive and murdering parents; PARENTS ARE!


Ya read that, Dr. Drew?

It's amazing to me that we still have a society where people think parents can do no wrong. You know, despite the news, every damn day, saying this parent killed their kid; that parent starved them to death; oh, this parent over here sold their toddler for sex; etc.

There are tons and tons of evil parents, and there have been for many, many years. This is not anything new at all. So, for people to act all aghast that SIDS was a way for parents to get away with murdering their children and blaming "natural causes" is pathetic. It did happen then, it does happen now, it will continue to happen; so long as society fawns over parents and pretends that they've "suffered enough" when they take the life of a human being who is COMPLETELY DEPENDENT UPON THEM TO LIVE!!!!

How on earth can people just handwave that? It's abominable. Parents = saints, so SIDS and "hot car syndrome" are accidents or "acts of God", eh? Bull.

It's bad enough when parents spew this bull. It's bad enough when society buys it, hook, line and sinker. But, for a so-called doctor to propagate it? I'm sure that Dr. Drew has seen parental abuse --- physical, emotional, sexual, etc. I'm sure he's seen Munchausen and the like. He's seen narcissists and borderlines and how they treated their offspring, no? But yeah, parents who kill their kids on purpose don't exist. WTF ever.

Newsflash to society in general. We Childfree are not killing kids. Their parents are. We just don't want to have children. Somehow WE are the monsters? Uh no. The monsters are the so-called parents abusing and murdering their kids. You don't have the high ground here, and until parents stop abusing and murdering their children, you never, EVER will.

Leave it to parents to take a horrific crime, committed by a PARENT, and blame it on people who don't have children. Mind-boggling.

God dammit, that pisses me right the fuck off.

Pinsky is NOT a psychiatrist. I checked his bio, and he is an internist and addiction medicine specialist based on his training and board certifications.

I met the bastard at a meeting, and he is a self-righteous prick. A psychiatrist usually would not be as judgmental as that son of a bitch.

NO ONE ADVOCATES VIOLENCE HERE!!!

It's against the rules of the board!!! eyes2

And further more - how about all the violence WE encounter? From simple hostility to SEXUAL ASSAULT to try to impregnate us? Male and Female CF alike have had this VIOLENCE done to them! I know it because it happened to me! Not rape for sex - why would someone's H have to rape a willing partner? But if they say NO to pregnancy - well - then some resort to violence.

Reproductive Coercion is a THING - "Doctor" Clueless. Maybe you should look into THIS.

This violence is WIDESPREAD - and many of us right here on BF have experienced it.

And back on the General Hostility - do you know how much SHIT we take for being CF? It's not only rude comments and pressure. It's also lack of social safety nets - which can lead to violence if one of us becomes homeless. There's welfare for the childed but not for us - we're tossed to the wolves to fend for ourselves. Or how about being burdened with additional work at jobs because the childed slack off and shove their work on others? With Mgmt. approval. How about if you work in a physical job and ever more work is shoved onto you? There might be an accident, people can get hurt from over work. Oh but that's OK because the prevailing opinion in society is - we don't matter.

YEAH WE'RE ANGRY! Who wouldn't be? Over all the shit we take - from the bingos to over work to reproductive RAPE. YOU BET YOUR SKINNY FLAT ASS WE'RE PISSED!!!

Pissed YES. Violent? NO. People are often violent towards US - but we're still trying to keep it civil and offer support to one another.
And be a positive place where other CF can find a community.

I found it quite empowering that, unlike other boards that have had unsavory opinion tossed at them, WE HAVEN'T GONE INTO HIDING.

A shit like Drew misquotes members and possibly leads trolls and irate idiots to this site? BRING IT. We have no fear of the howling mob. mob The members here are quite intelligent and able to offer rebuttals to the misinformation spewed about us.

The group collectively rocks

:yr

And just for the record, Lurking Breeders, the sentence Dr. Drew chose to quote had these two sentences DIRECTLY BEFORE IT.

Quote

Poor kid. I am not a kid person but this is a shitty thing to do to any living thing.

But go ahead, Asswipe, and quote us out of context. It's on par with the rest of your "work."

Legal peeps here should threaten this guy with a slander suit.

ETA: We are now watching for such BULL SHIT - try it and we will! I got some atty biz associates who owe me some favors. I'm not well versed on legalities myself (outside of biz things) - but I know enough to guess that you can't misquote people and slander them. That's just ASKING FOR a lawsuit.

Others who wish to start up with us should keep this in mind. And I do think someone should write "Doctor" Drew a strongly worded letter at the least - pointing out his blatant mis casting of us.

I'm thinking too - we could show this to Raw Story - maybe Amanda Marcotte? She, or some other writer there could expose this BS.
What about Laura Carroll? Who posts here and writes for HuffPo? Maybe she could help?

Or anyone else - let's brainstorm. This IS unfair - to the point of SLANDER IMO.

Taking things out of context is pretty pathetic. Anyone who reads this site will see, whenever kids dying in hot cars or child abuse and neglect stories are brought up, people here tend to want the perpetrators to be hung out to dry. Most of us want to see these so called parents and adults who commit these crimes suffer the way their child victims did or worse. We don't hate, abuse, or kill children, but we don't care much for those who do, parent or not. Most of us don't even like it when children do cruel things to each other(see discussions of bullying here).

I knew many years ago I didn't want to be a parent, but it wasn't until the late 1990s when I discovered childfree on the internet that this desire to not have children actually had a name. I have never hurt nor had the desire to hurt a child and I'm 46, and I know many other childfree people are the same way.
