Mel Gibson drunken BIGOT!

[Aeris]

I have two words:

So what?

Good God, my ex boyfriend's dad said more volitile stuff than that and you don't see him in the news. Yeah, I know, Mel's a celebrity. But who's he hurting? I find him an idiot, but he's allowed to say what he wants. If he hates gay, he can say it. And the gay community can bash him for doing so. Same for the Jews, and the Pagans.

If he went on about the damn n*****s, I'd still be chuckling because its not my place to be offended for someone. Personally, I dislike the word but he's not talking about me. I would hope the African American ranks would rise up in horror and disgust. But until he makes disparaging comments about women, I'll sit back, laugh and say, "Silly old Mel."

Quote by: Sonart . Quote by: Underbear Gibson never apologised for his anti gay remarks twenty years ago..........see we have memory like an elephant, and we hold a grudge like no one else. Gibson came off like an Opus Dei freakazoid after Passion of the Christ, he ONLY attends Mass in LATIN. NPR just covered this, with a little back story. Apparently Gibson's father was a virilent Holocaust denier. When asked back in '04 if he subscribed to his father's views, Gibson denied being anti-semitic, but left it with a cryptic, "My father has never lied to me." Also, in his Passion of the Christ, he removed the 'blood curse' against the Jews as murderers of Christ... as least the english subtitle... leaving the aramaic dialogue in. For all the, "aw, he was just an actor being drunk, what's the big deal", I find the whole thing a bit disturbing. Would anyone here be chuckling if he'd gone on about the damn 'niggers'? .

Were you as harsh when Bush-hater Alec Baldwin was "outed" for beating his wife, Kim Basinger? Or when the 70s icon Jackson Browne was tagged for beating his wife, Darryl Hannah? I doubt it.

Gibson was drunk and said some things he shouldn't have said. There is ZERO evidence that Gibson has ever ACTED inappropriately toward gays or Jews. It's not enough not to discriminate. One's mind must be pure of any heretical thought as well.

The thought police are a danger to America. They must be stopped.

I have it on good authority Gibson believes slapping a woman now and then is a good thing.




Oh, wait. Sorry, that was Sean Connery.

ZOMG! Oh noes! Rally the forces! Feminists unite! An old geezer professes the ideals of his generation! Shock and horror!!!!!

I have it on good authority that eveyone needs a good slapping now and then.

[underbear1]

Gibson called one woman officer "sugar tits" so women were denigrated as well as Jews. He also attempted to flee the arrest.........so now he's not only a sexist, anti-semetic, homobigot, he's cowardly TOO! Much of his arrest record got MAGICLY deleted from the official report, think that would have happened to Baldwin?

LOL!

If memory serves, Connery was pilloried in the media as well. This proves it's not just Mel Gibson, even GOOD actors can get in trouble in the press.

[underbear1]

A Good actor list wouldn't include Gibson.IMO

[Chaossaber314]

I still laugh everytime I watch James Bond slap some chick on the ass and say, "Run along. Man talk."

[Scribbler1]

He said that a lot, did he?

[Chaossaber314]

I don't know if he said that a lot, It's just a line I think of and chuckle when I think of Sean Connery.

[Aeris]

I think everybody chuckles at racist/sexist/bigoted things to a point.

One of my favorite jokes is: What does it mean when a man is writhing in bed, moaning your name?

[Nono]

I'll bite, as it were.
(Something involving poison no doubt...)

[Aeris]

You didn't hold the pillow down long enough.

Not all of us a black widows, nono. Sometimes we use more conventional methods.

[Nono]

If you call that conventional.

I like the one with the punchline "Who was your client, the fucker or the fuckee?" It's racist and a trifle nasty. But it's also a good joke about jargon. Cute.

I agree. It seems extremely dated and definitely politically INcorrect, but that was common back then.

Remember, Ian Fleming created 007 in 1952 and the first Bond film was released only a decade later. Our heroes were textbook macho men. We demanded it and Bond, as well as Derek Flint, Matt Helm and others delivered it. Sensitive and/or thoughtful men were in short supply in those days, and most of the women I knew had no problem with that.

Times do change, don't they?

Indeed.

I think that it is sad what he did. But, then again, a lot of people act weird when they get drunk. Funny how that works, eh?

[underbear1]

a.) he only had about .1 blood alchohol, not even sororiety sister drunk
b.) he knew he'd been busted by a cop, would any of you then question the cop's religion?
try to flee? blame all the woes of the world on Jews, and call a female officer 'sugar tits"?

He is reprehensible, vile, and his career is OVER!

So now you believe the crap magazines in the grocery store aisles over common sense? Did you know that he has apologized for his actions? Do you really think, that after a successful career, living a Christian faith that he would just spontaneously go nuts like that? There had to be alcohol involved, who are you kidding?

It was .12. For a 200 pound man, this is = 6 drinks in one hour. That is pretty blasted.
