Is Mel Gibson's Career Over?

[AlteredDNA]

Unless we all stand up against the racist bullshit, it will be there, and if it's hidden in the corners of a household, sure there's nothing we can do about it, but something will happen, someone will come along and even those little whispers will be exposed and brought into the light.

That's the part that is just as wrong as the other part, Bobby.

Standing up against hate is one thing... going into people's homes and lives and fishing for it, or taking what happened in your own home in a private moment and using it to honestly try to harm someone in this way is quite another. Had there been no tape, the awful media and the public wouldn't be involved in this or know about it. .

Like I said earlier in this thread, history shows again and again how the purportedly "tolerant" left has quite the vindictive authoritarian streak to them. Everything goes, as long as it fits their worldview. If not, they are not above usurping the very liberties they claim to stand for [not to mention the fact that many of the "liberties" they stand for are not liberties at all, especially as far as an original understanding of the Constitution would have you believe].

That's completely false Matt. It's the rethuglicans who scream and cry about "smaller government" and "states rights" but then they turn around and vote for federal amendments that ban homosexuals from marrying and they try to govern the bodies of women and tell them they can't have an abortion and not to mention the sweeping hypocrisy of special rights that Christians enjoy while they bitch and moan about other groups having "special rights".

This isn't about political parties. In fact, Obama is on record as being against gay marriage. Also, anti-abortion proponents aren't trying to "govern the bodies of women", but rather prevent what they see as the murder innocent babies...

Lastly, what are these special rights the Christians enjoy that other religions don't?

Why are you asking questions you already know the answers to?


I didn't bring up the liberal v. conservative thing, a couple of other people did, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy.


If a person has a sincere religious belief, they can apply for — and are usually granted — exemptions from generally applicable and neutral laws. Employers, too, are required to accommodate people’s religious beliefs even if this means exempting them from generally applicable, neutral rules in the workplace.
Religious believers enjoy a broad array of special rights and privileges unavailable to others who may want exemptions for non-religious reasons; yet some of these same religious believers whine about gays demanding “special rights” for themselves — rights which amount to no more than the same civil protections which everyone else enjoys. When Christians demand exemptions from laws everyone else has to follow, they are simply demanding the ability to freely exercise their religion; when gays simply want to be able to work and shop without being discriminated against, they are unjustly demanding "special" rights.

Work and shop without being discriminated against? What does that mean?

Racism is for ignorant, uneducated and cowardly people.

Amen. And some of the posts here are truly embarassing (as a reflection on the attitudes of this forum) and for the people that posted them.

I didn't know they ran in packs anymore.

Mel is not current w/the times ...it should read " You're dressed like a slut, cracker, It wouldn't surprise
me if you were raped by a gang of n*iggers or a pack of wetb*acks!! Now get outta my crib!!"
That ^^^ would've been bad!!

Yeah... Funny stuff.

Mel is a fucking loser. Racism is not cool.

Yup, agreed with parfait on this one.

I'm surprised to see so many people in this thread laughing and contributing more jokes.

Ditto
