Elisabeth Goes Nuts on Guys with Penises

196. I feel like Elizabeth has a point. When a man or woman cheats...if found out it will disrupt the family unit. When a man or woman cheats...their main focus is pulled away from the family to themselves and their new "love". The sneaking and lying that comes with cheating is not a good environment for your children to be in. Next time you are about to cheat ask yourself if it's worth breaking up your family...because people always get caught eventually. When you look at your Mom and Dad you want to think of them as the best person in the world...your hero. What if you found out your hero was a liar and a cheater and was the cause for your family breaking up. I think she has a point. I know she gets upset on the show...she is just passionate about what she believes in. It is called "The View".

197. Did anyone notice that on today's View that Joy was laughing when the photo of the obese man was on the screen behind her? Or did I imagine this, just curious.

199. Cheating on a spouse or significant other is wrong no matter how you look at it. If you truly love the person you're with you won't want to be with anyone else. If you want to be with someone else, then tell the one you're with "goodbye" before you do. You teach your children by example, and they see what you do even when you think they don't. All you're teaching the children is that it doesn't matter who you hurt as long as you get what you want. If you're comfortable teaching a child that lesson, then by all means feel free. But you are a bad parent, no matter what you say.

200. Either her husband has cheated on her or one of Elisabeth's parents cheated on the other spouse. She aimed her remarks towards men. Guess what? Married women can cheat just as well as their male counterparts.
Yes, cheating does have a toll on the children but it is not physical abuse at all.
Visit a black family for one day. When a black child acts up, the fear of God is made damn sure is injected.

201. One more thing, before we throw stones at people with no morals...check yourself. There are people who are non-celebrities that lead amoral lives. Those people get no attention from the rest of America so therefore no spotlight leads to whatever they want to do without people talking about it on national television.
We are not perfect, Average American with 2.3 kids and station wagon and a dog named Boo.

202. Her "ölder and wiser" co-horts? You're kidding. If not, you should be. Older maybe, certainly not wiser.

203. Elisabeth is absolutely right. Anyone who cheats on their spouse or with someone else's spouse is a scumbag.. men and women (I'm talking to you Angelina!).

If you don't love your spouse anymore, it's called DIVORCE. It's easy to do. Or at least move out so you're separated. But what's the point of sneaking around? The only reason i can figure people do it is b/c they get off on the danger of sneaking around on the person they promised to love for eternity.

204. What is this???? Are we talking about the View?? Or the Rosie O'Donnell show??? Barbara Walters is so old that she does not recognize reality anymore. She has the mouth to tell Elisabeth to chill, when she should have told the same thing last week to Rosie, I guess that this is the Rosie O'Dumbell show.

Next, I agree with Elisabeth. If you recall the reason that parents did not sleep around in the 1950' s was there was no supply for a demand. It was not until the 1960's and the era of flower children and free love that people thought if they could not love the one they were married to they loved whoever. And men do follow their dicks!!! They listen to their sexual drives over rule their brains.

Why include the women???? If their were not so many men out looking to get a quickie then there would be no soccer mom's out there to fill the need. It is the parents who teach this to the children and now we have the children do whatever feels good even if it would kill them. After all you do know that the ingredients for meth includes things like drain cleaner, motor oil, etc. and then you wonder why people can not make sane and rational decisions?????

Wake up and read the entire story and this is not a bible belt opinion. Many of us around the entire country pay attention to all the news and make informed decision. Actually, I think that the View was better when they still had Meridith on, the decision to add a lame brain it, named Rosie to the mix was the beginning of the end.

205. America has really gone down hill if they think cheating is ok. Being a parent includes teaching your children morals, values, and ethics. How can ANY parent who is cheating on their spouce be a good one?

206. I agree... Elizabeth is like nails on a blackboard... I am not sure how her friends and husband and family can take her anymore!! I sure know I can not and change the channel whenever she getsinto her rants.

207. Elizabeth is very young and has zero life experience. The other women on the show tried to point that out to her very gently.

Elizabeth has espoused a Religious Right position. People get caught up in such groups when they do not have enough of a Self to sustain them, so they let others do their thinking for them.
Trouble often starts for people like Elizabeth when the supportive religious/political structure crumbles around them through various life problems.

No one is exempt ,and Elisabeth will learn the hard way too that life throws all of us a curve every so often.

Utah, and more especially the Mormon church, is full of holier-than-thou types like Elisabeth. LOL. Utah also has the highest Prozac consumption in the nation.

208. I pretty much always disagree with Elizabeth, and Rosie for that matter. I think I fall somewhere in the sane, rational realm of normal people.

That said, I think you can absolutely love your children and be unfaithful, you can love your spouse and be unfaithful. Cheating hurts your family, but when you cheat, it really is all about you. Its a selfish act. I also think you can be a fabulous parent and people I think too many people live their entire lives for their children. Now, I think you can give your life for your children, but if you don't live your life for yourself and make yourself happy, you will never be able to truly make your children or your spouse happy. There is no such thing as a perfect person or a perfect parent. Unfortunately, there are far worse things out there to expose your children to than unfaithfulness. I personally think seeing an unhappy parent staying in a rotten marriage for the good of the children is far more detrimental. Seeing/suffering verbal abuse is far worse. Having a controlling shrew for a parent is a terrible thing as well.

My real issue with Elizabeth is that she can't fathom that what isn't "right" to her should be how it is for everyone. She's so young, closeminded and naive. I am hoping as she ages and really experiences some life events, she gets a little perspective. Rosie has the opposite problem, she thinks everyone is out to do wrong, and is out to get her. She takes everything so personally.

209. I completely agree w/ #5 (by Jenny). How can you be a "good" parent and a hipocrite at the same time and what kidda parent would teach there children to cheat on their spouse.....a "good" one? If that is the case then I don't want to be a "good" parent!

210. You are right, Elisabeth!!

By the way, why is it people slam Christians saying Christians think they are above everyone etc... Christians are humble. If someone does think they are better than someone else then they are NOT a Christian. Therefore, to say Christians think more highly of themselves is contradictory. And if you do not know this to be true then you haven't met a true Christian.
