Pissed at Mel Gibson? Yes or No

TLK	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 6:22 PM Well?
pog	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 6:24 PM Not really... he's a human.

BOWILLIE	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 6:33 PM for real..so what..the man drinks..drove got caught arrested..will pay fine and hire a driver..frickin tabloids and rumor mongers just love that kinda write up. heres to ya mel
leedsquietman	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 6:40 PM The real question is is Mel Gibson pissed at Mel Gibson? If yes and he genuinely is apologetic then he should be forgiven, who hasn't said or done something regretful or offensive, either sober or intoxicated? If no, then he better have thick skin and broad shoulders and be prepared for the backlash...
hantu	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 6:44 PM who is this Mel Gibson? and whats with this "he" business?? i always though Mel was a girls name
BOWILLIE	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 6:45 PM what was said can be blamed on alot of remarkes made.. even billy graham was recorded making anti semetic remarks with nixon..sometimes it a open mouth insert foot thing.
K3VIN	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 7:29 PM yes.. what was the last good movie he was in?... bastard -_-
rojas-records	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 7:33 PM he did nothing wrong but speak his drunk mind ............. and he is sorry about it anyway..... I hate when they blow shit up so firkin BIG when its not really anything at all…………… so NO he did nothing wrong...........if i was to do that no one would care but me shit ...
imemine	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 7:35 PM We all make mistakes and say stupid things---This I know!----However, I’m not Jewish!
hate9wicket	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 7:39 PM I'm not surprised,and not really pissed,just sort of wondering why this is still in the news, I've seen this coming since the Daddy's comments from the Passion of the Christ ...like father like son, I'm sure he's sorry he got caught, and he's sorry he won't likely get a big time role anytime soon, but he got plenty of bank already, so...look for more self financed flicks marketed to the COMING SOON
GTOriginal	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 8:16 PM Well, I dunno. I always thought Mel Gibson was a bit of a dick, but Gibson guitars rule, so it all balances out in my mind.
AgentMGD	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 9:00 PM Mel is not the first celeb to get busted by the fuzz and say something stupid he might or not regret later. Knowing him and his status among the quo, he'll probably get off with a very light sentence and community service ....unlike regular first time DUI offenders like you and me
imemine	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 9:27 PM I think as part of his atonement he needs to change his name to ShhhhMel Spielberg and drink nothing but Manischewitz!
Fraser	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 9:59 PM Nah, he's a good guy. Just got a bit drunk, thats all.
vzeye	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 10:05 PM
Opossum	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 12:09 AM It's a concon...spirra..cy the.. theory...[hic]
rockgoth619	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 12:41 AM what did he do again?? and even if i knew, the only reason hes in trouble is becuz hes famous
Fraser	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 3:49 AM Got drunk and insulted Jews. Seriously... When I'm drunk, I insult everybody. "Damn I'm drunk. Holy crap, you're drunk. Aliens are retarded." It usually doesn't make sense... Considering the other night, while drunk, me and some friends spent an hour arguing whether Jesus was an alien or not. . . The answer is no, he's not.
evansorchid	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 6:25 AM = Makes sense to me.
EchoMinor	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 7:18 AM hell at least you can have conversations when drunk, i get drunked and just go numb, my wife gets drunk and passes out.... rather boring! i'd love to dish out some anti religious material while drinking, hell...at least complain about the government while on a military base!
TLK	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 9:00 AM
BlackMage	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 10:20 AM No.
Intergalacti...	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 11:46 AM na as was said-he's human many people get drunk many people drive, its not a good thing but some get caught mel happened to be that person shamsy mel gibson is a big actor-ever seen 'what women want' 'lethal weapon' 'conspiracy theory'? he did a lot of action films about 15/20 years ago and is now more of a romcom sort of actor.
TLK	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 1:38 PM Shams was serious!? I thought he was being sarcastic!
victorsskull	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 5:19 PM nah just said some stupid shit and we have all done that before
hantu	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 7:07 PM i just googled him.... wow! Mel is on that note..... no!
TLK	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 8:16 PM Sham ???
rockgoth619	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 8:35 PM go Sham!
zedsalt	Date: August 11, 2006 @ 11:22 AM I'm more embarrassed for him than I am angry. You want to work in the movie industry, you better learn to keep your bigotry under wraps, mushferbrains.
JamesThomson	Date: August 11, 2006 @ 6:04 PM people should lay off him. If a cleaner did that noone would care. I mean im not up for communism but it's a bit harsh taking away a mans freedom just because people know who he is.
celtaidd	Date: August 11, 2006 @ 6:53 PM Havent we all talked a load of bollocks while pissed? Isnt it more the point, that He could have killed some poor bastard while driving way over the drink drive limit? If He'd have hit one of my family. I couldnt give a flying f**k what He said to the police
TLK	Date: August 12, 2006 @ 3:40 PM I wonder why he specifically said something about Jews though?
jewsus	Date: August 12, 2006 @ 3:55 PM cos he blames them for killing jesus...even though jesus was a jew...which in turn makes him hate himself for loving jesus..or something like that
K3VIN	Date: August 12, 2006 @ 4:03 PM jesus wanted to die.
celtaidd	Date: August 12, 2006 @ 10:19 PM Perhaps He meant "Chews" cos they rot your teeth: all that chewing of sweet things cant be good for your molars. Maybe Mel's a trainee Orthodontist on the quiet
TLK	Date: August 13, 2006 @ 3:32 AM I agree with Celt!
MonkeyGirl	Date: August 13, 2006 @ 7:19 PM hmmm... yes... what a dickhead i thought, i've been drunk in my time - but it wouldn't matter how pissed I was; i'd never express bigotry or prejudice on race or religion because i don't think it in the first place... at least he's not in a position to impose his views on the world at large through the medium of film.. oh wait a minute...
DeadraveN	Date: August 13, 2006 @ 7:38 PM ^^^ yeah, we all have been drunk and done/said stupid things, but bigotry is unacceptable. It's one thing to be an ass to someone in particular, but when you start spouting off anti-semetic remarks, it just shows that deep down, you're an ass. even when you're sober. would it be okay for me to start using slurs for african americans just because I was drunk?
jewsus	Date: August 13, 2006 @ 8:58 PM yes, as long as you didn't mean it and no one was around that would be offended.
Etheracide	Date: August 13, 2006 @ 11:29 PM I believe What Women Want was his last big blockbuster hit! Or am I incorrect? Correct me if I'm wrong. I know that they had this discussion on Preston and Steve Show(for those of you in the Philadelphia area or listen to their awesome podcasts online). Steve who doesn't drink was trying to find out from the rest of the crew whether or not someone always means what they say when they are drunk. They came to the consensus that it could be different for everyone but it seemed that all of them and the listeners that called in believed that there has to be atleast a little seed of some sort planted that alcohol just makes grow until you catch yourself saying it. And even if he doesn't believe anything Anti-Semetic that he might say...there's still something to say about getting into a state where he'd be ready and willing to say such things. He'd still be at fault. But it sounds like he's accepting some responsibility for it. And I, on the other hand, do not use racial slurs or give into stereotypes..because I am not rich nor famous enough to do so hah Okay, that's not true. It's just wrong!
EchoMinor	Date: August 14, 2006 @ 1:46 AM he can hate who ever he likes, but it can ruin his reputation personally i think he really ment at the romans or something but well...perhaps had the jews in his head at the time. there are so many different views on who killed christ etc. hell one time when i was drunk i claimed i hated clowns!
K3VIN	Date: August 14, 2006 @ 2:20 AM i agree with deadraven.
MonkeyGirl	Date: August 14, 2006 @ 4:08 AM hmm... sure it can't be okay to be bigoted and prejudiced as long as everyone in the vicinity is ... wouldn't it be nice to live in a world where there was no such thing, or where everyone in the vicinity was offended? Mind you, then there'd be no wars and what would the politicians do then to garner popularity and win elections?
Israfel	Date: August 14, 2006 @ 8:44 AM I just want to know at what point during a traffic stop does one just go off in an anti-semitic rant? I mean, what the hell? Officer: "Can I see your lisence and registration?" Mel: "The Jews are repsonsible for everything wrong in the world!" How the crap does that happen? It just goes to show that alcohol amplifies what is already there. He's an ass. A bigoted ass. I mean, I can get piss drunk and turn into a crying fool or a laughing idiot...I have yet to suddenly become a hateful, shitspewing gob. Which apparently means that either I don't have the gob gene in me or that old Mel cornered the market on shitspewing gobdom. He's an ass. That's all there is to it.
EchoMinor	Date: August 14, 2006 @ 2:58 PM well some people do some really weird things when drunk, high, etc. i remember that one of the people responsible for beavis and butthead streaked a plane buttnaked due to being either drunk or high. i dont think he is an ass really, perhaps just confused
witherdin2ition	Date: August 14, 2006 @ 4:57 PM I actually found the whole thing rather sad. Sad because he IS human, and people do and say stupid things. As far as whether or not he believes what he said? I don't really care. I won't lose any sleep if Mel Gibson hates my people.
jewsus	Date: August 14, 2006 @ 8:04 PM "wouldn't it be nice to live in a world where there was no such thing, or where everyone in the vicinity was offended? Mind you, then there'd be no wars and what would the politicians do then to garner popularity and win elections?" hell no!!! that would suck if everyone got offended by every little thing said. wait...that kinda already happens for the most part...personally i think there'd be less fighting if people learned to relax and not take everything so seriously.
AdamsGod	Date: August 15, 2006 @ 7:20 AM look at all you fools.. saying shit like, 'i forgive him' and crap like that. beacause of people like Mel here, there was an attempt to wipe out an entire race. just beacause you have money doesnt meen you can walk around (drunk or not) insulting an entire race. someone here said something about him insulting a religion? no.. i insult religion, thats what i do.. what i dont do is insult and entire race of people. whats next? he'll shoot someone in the face and it will be ok cuz it mel gibson? people need to wake up. drunk or not.. these are things he really does feel and think. its time to take out this cancer weve grown in our society, especialy in hollywood. just beacause youre famous doent give you the damn right to do whatever you want. 6 million people died cuz someone first started saying shit like that. its like a ripple effect in water. it gets bigger and bigger.. if you let it. if you drop the stone in it. we need to stop dropping stones in the water.. we need to remember, mocking religion is one thing.. mocking an entire people is another.
zedsalt	Date: August 15, 2006 @ 11:13 AM Um, AG? There's more than one race of human? The Holocaust happened because of too much tolerance? Bigotry is fun and laudable if it's based on a person's faith, but if based on that person's genetic background, it's the moral equivalent of a gunshot to the face? How, exactly, do you propose "taking out" these people?
K3VIN	Date: August 15, 2006 @ 12:56 PM more then 6 million people jews died.
cantillon	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 4:11 AM 27 million Russians died, without whose sacrifice the fucking Nazis would have won. How about a proportionate number of monuments for the brave Russians who gave their lives ? No ? Oh!
EvilPicnic	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 7:00 AM Elvis Costello was drunk when he called Ray Charles, 'That blind nigger'. People's inhibitions are lowered by alcohol, and since Costello was so prominent in his anti-racism stance and general decency and sincerity in apologies for his drunken behaviour he is now generally forgiven. Mel Gibson and his father's anti-semitism was generally well known before now, and although he probably is sorry he said what he did (not good publicity) I doubt his opinion on Jews is very different to before...
Mentalfunk	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 3:22 PM Little kids and drunk people tend to speak their true thoughts...
ChillinBuzz	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 7:08 PM Quite funny that so much fuss can be made over his comments about Jews when we've had many derogatory comments made about other religions, especially Muslims, on this site.
jewsus	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 7:17 PM no kidding buzz. let's take that one step farther. not just this site, but across the country (of course i speak only as my experience has it in the U.S.) as a whole. people look down on basically anyone that looks middle eastern. its pretty sad. i mean, they might not even be muslim, not that that would matter. cos really, islam isn't a horrible religion, none worse than any other as far as i'm concerned. but yeah, i dislike organised religion. i think its caused a lot of problems for society. the only difference between mel and i is that i hate all religions equally! but then again, i don't hate the person who happens to be in the religion, just the religion itself. so i dunno, that might be another difference. i'm not sure if mel hates jews individually as humans or just their belief system.
K3VIN	Date: August 17, 2006 @ 8:20 AM worst religon for murder = christianity.
shutyatrap	Date: August 17, 2006 @ 8:31 AM Evil Picnic said it right. Mel's Dad has always been a grumpy fuckhead racist so....like father like son. When this happened he was quoted as saying."Thats my boy!!!" Hell Australia is full of Racist Fuckwits. I've lived among them all my life. I think things are better than when I was a child but it still amazing me at times of the stupidity and ignorance. Its hard to know if its like this in America too? Not sure.
zedsalt	Date: August 17, 2006 @ 11:23 AM Bad, but appearing to slowly improve? Yeah, that sounds like us...
jewsus	Date: August 17, 2006 @ 3:37 PM yeah, its getting better i suppose. i guess all the old timers are dying off and for the most part their views aren't being relayed to future generations. its not always the case, but like i said, i think for the most part it is.
ChillinBuzz	Date: August 17, 2006 @ 6:54 PM I hate nobody as an individual, I do however despise religions who must always use the sins of the past to change the future for us all. I do not believe that Mel Gibson was wrong to speak his mind although, even drunk, he would've known those comments would cause outrage but come on, any worse than Salman Rushdie, an author whose book, "The Satanic Verses" - considered a grave insult to the teachings of the Koran, which earned him a fatwah once? History will forget outbursts like this, what history won't forget is the people that he and others, like Salman, insulted with their personal views, have committed far greater atrocities. Thing is, if you go insulting those who ensure your pocket is lined with gold, expect a heavy backlash. Hail democracy and freedom of speech! Go Mel.
