fta "As long as you have people who can manage a group of people with anger problems running the show it can be safe and effective," she said. "Obviously, you would want to first be sure that people don't bring weapons in."

Oh, like you have a better way to gauge their level of anger?

This randomly Capitalized headline makes Me Angry.

Some people get the point, then there are others that don't.

Geeeezzzz, these barbarians and their pitiful knives. I use a pen. Or a pencil. And legal to carry in all 50 States.

//Leaving disappointed that it wasn't a Seattle cop in anger management freaking out over that goddamned doctor Phil a-hole.

Anyone walking around with a paring knife needs to be imprisoned flat out.

Get Lost: doctor Phil a-hole

For some reason I read that as "Doctor Fill a Hole".

Let's not not just dismiss stabbing your way out of things, though - giant spider web, swallowed by whale, etc.

Jesus H Keerist, "Anger Management" is a pile of carp. The general populace has gotten the idea that its ok to be a general dick to anyone, any time, with no fear of repercussions. And when someone doesn't just sit back and take it, its THEM that has the anger issue? Fark that. 99 percent of the time, its just people getting the beatings they deserve.

/WTF is a 'rage-aholic' anyway?

You sound bitter.

In my experience if you treat people like they are human beings, 98% percent of them will be more then happy to treat you the same way.

My guess is you work, or worked, in customer service. Naturally you'll get a lot more entitled people there because unentitled people only call those lines as an absolute last resort.

Try to manage my anger?

That's a stabbin.

She'll win on a peel.

The first class went fine. But during the second class, the instructor popped in a Dr. Phil DVD. It was supposed to inspire students to control their emotions, but it had the opposite effect for one 19-year-old student.

Oraivej said the teen began yelling: "What the [expletive] does this have to do with my life?"

I'm all with Oraivej here. In fact, I envy his compulsive responsibility to react to the situation head-on.

I've got Passive-Aggressive Syndrome and would just sit back and try to die and post about being forced to watch Dr. Phil later on Fark. But nothing gets DONE. The class would still be using him. Phil continued to walk to Earth giving advice, in an affront to all which is good about humanity.

Oraivej, however, did NOT sit down and take Dr. Phil. He stood up. He stood up and stabbed the person nearest to him, in a bold statement.

You want to make sure the whale has surfaced before you stab your way out, though.

That water better stay out of my way, if it know's what's good for it.

FTA "Attorney Andrew Ackley said that he did some digging and learned that "Court Services Institute" is not a court-sponsored program, but a private for-profit company."

How much you want to bet the cops, DA and judge are all shareholders?

See? This kind of thing happens to people all the time. You're walking down the street and the next thing you know it's "Do I stab my way out of this?", or "Do I wait and stab later?". Feeling all stabby is normal and natural - just the other day I had to stab my way out of the shower. Turns out there wasn't actually any 'soap monster' or 'suffocating shower curtain' THIS time, but I was just glad to have a large knife with me.

But that whale advice is good stuff to know, thanks.

I think the important question here is: are you available to hire?

Not for stabbing, no.

To be fair, Phil makes me a little stabby, too

Well to be fair, a Dr. Phil video is enough to cause a psychotic break in even a normal person.

It's just as well they didn't show an Oprah video, Gourd only knows what the consequences might have been.

Dammit, they never got around to teaching us about pointed sticks for some reason...

My (late) old man would be a good example of one of them.

If ticked (especially after a difficult day at work) he'd find some reason no matter how tenuous to fly off the handle and start something, always resulting in a rancorous screaming match and frequently resulting a good beating or belting for some family member and in his mind of course it was always the victim's fault for provoking him.

That's what a 'rage-aholic' is!
