Is Mel Gibson's Career Over?

[BobbyinTN]

Rather stick my own head up my ass than someone elses cock,
Get a clue,, the anti-hatred propaganda that youre spewing is part of the reasons there is hatred in the world .... If we had to boycott every actor/actress or any celebrity because of their personal opinions and views, then we would have to ban them all cause guess what, theyre all human beings and none are saints,,, except for Saint John.,...

That's a matter of taste and it's good to see you show a little homophobia while defending a racist.

That couldn't have gone any better than if it were scripted.

[Don]

Bobby, you are acting like an angry gay man now. This is the reason that gay males have earned the stereotype of drama queens. Look at what you're doing, lashing out at everyone who doesn't see things through the same lens that you are using. You are going to give yourself a fucking heart attack, dude.

[AlteredDNA]

He's racist enough for me that I'll never support anything he does again. Honestly, I stopped watching his movies when his last little tirade when public. If actors are homophobes, racists, misogynists or animal abusers or hate old people, they should hide those things very carefully if they ever want to be viewed in roles that dipict them as something other than who they are.

Mel built a church on his own property for God's sake. That's alone says he's fucked in the head.

Sounds a bit intolerant there, Bobby...

That a man builds his own church doesn't seem a little wacky to you? And it's not tolerant, it's judgemental, but then again, the Christian attitude Mel serves up is reason enough to know how he truly feels and a good reason to judge his lying, racist ass.

So define intolerance then, as opposed to judgemental, and why one is ok and the other EVIL...

Look it up man!

I know how to use the internet...thanks...

I want to know YOUR thoughts...

Anyone can bulid anything on their property they wish to build. He can say anything he wishes to say. I'm tolerant of both those actions.


I judge them when they do such things and classify them accordingly. And IMHO, when people speak in public or get exposed for the assholes they are, they deserve everything they get. That's tolerance at it's best.




How many of you got pissed off at Alec Baldwin when he called his daughter a pig? How many were ready to crucify him?

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tolerance

Tolerance /ˈtɒlərəns/ [tol-er-uhns]
–noun
1. a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one's own; freedom from bigotry.

2. a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward opinions and practices that differ from one's own.

3. interest in and concern for ideas, opinions, practices, etc., foreign to one's own; a liberal, undogmatic viewpoint.

I would argue that you are highly intolerant of not only Mel building a church, but of Christianity in general. You know, based on the definition above.

And for the record, I thought Alex Baldwin was awful to say those things, but even worse that they were released to the public for all to hear...

[StevePerryHair]

I did not crucify Alec at all. Love his comic work!!! Would I want to be his friend? Probably not if he's not a good person. But how can you judge a whole person based on something said in private in anger in the heat of a moment. Everyone says things they wish they could take back at times. It's part of being human. Bobby, those were some pretty hateful words over some southerners there. Sounds like that's where your anger lies Mels anger, Alec's anger and countless others anger lies in other places, right or wrong. We are all human and products of our experiences and environments. We all live in glass houses about something....careful with those stones

Defending racist ? .... you have no fucking clue.... I have had my fair share of rasicm aimed at me, much worse than the heat you take just cause you chose to suck on dick instead of pussy.....
Unlike you, I handle it with a bit of humor and make the other side feel dumb, instead of get all defensive and pout ,,,,,, Try it some time

Well said, camel Jockey.

Some of you guys should have listened to George Carlin when he was alive. It's all in the context.

Hmmm,, Dont we have another member around here like that ?

Also, how can you tell the difference between an angry gay man and an angry straight man ? by comparing their Cum Laude ?

[bluejeangirl76]

Bobby, I said the same thing when it was Alec Baldwin. We don't know what went on... maybe the kid was being a royal pain in the ass... teenagers DO that... No it doesn't excuse what he said.

My dad yelled at me and used words be shouldn't have... and I know it was out of anger at the fact that I was being a really bratty teenager. No I didn't deserve such harsh words at that age, but sometimes that happens. Parents get fed up and start yelling ... It was.maybe one or two times... not a constant habit... how do we know that Alex's wasn't isolated?

Point being we don't know the details. Someone took a private thing and spread it around, just like this thing with Gibson. And that's not right.

[Melissa]

It is the point if you look at this event from all sides and not just the "poor Mel got caught being crazy again", side.

But see, I don't look at him like that, so yeah, the point was missed My point was private divorce/break-up/argument crap should be kept between those 2 people and not aired for all to see or hear. If she wanted to use that as a custody or divorce thing, then what's the point of airing it publicly?

And I don't think I've ever watched a movie or TV or whatever and thought the whole time or let it enter my head the whole time "gee I'm going to let the things I've seen in tabloids and gossip TV about this actor/actress affect how I see this movie/show character" ... I find that beyond a little odd

and you should have listened to Stu's history lesson before calling B an Arab once again

[Tomulator]

You know what I hate...I hate when you're eating a really good Quarter Pounder with Cheese from McDonald's and you bite down really hard on a "bone chip" that was ground up in with meat.

That sucks.

[Triple S]

I think he's a pig. But I feel sorry for him. He's a racist and seems to hate women also in his own way. They filth he called her and said to her isn't normal. He has issues and major demons. We all have dark sides to us. His just seem a lot darker with or without alcohol. Will I boycott his movies because of a prinicple? No. But I probably won't see another movie of his b/c I now won't believe his character. This will be in my mind, so doubt I will have much interest. And he's such an angry man, I doubt he will be believable for a comedy for me either. I kind of think his career is over anyway for the most part. But if he made some brilliant movie, directing or acting, that got great reviews, I would see it.

Feel sorry for the children starving in Africa. Don't waste your pity on people that are morally defective. That said, I'll still watch his movies. Robert Blake got away murder, doesn't mean I can't enjoy an episode of Baretta once in awhile.

Am I a bad person for still enjoying the Naked Gun movies over and over again (despite OJ)???

[Michigan Girl]

Does anyone know if Mel is an "R" or "D", because that could change a lot
of people's perspectives around here!!

What are his views on Global Warming, Katrina, the oil spill?!?!
Does he like Steve Perry or Arnel fronted Journey best?!?!

Political affiliation: Gibson has been called everything from “ultraconservative” to “politically very liberal” by acquaintance William Fulco. Although he has denied that he is a Republican.

And then...another thing I hate is when you order FRIES at Burger King and you get "straggler" onion rings in them. I mean...what up with that?!

Don't look at it like that... consider it a present from the chef.

You mean booger? If so, that's just another even MORE personal of a present from the chef. If it's a bugger, it's just Andrew!

[Ehwmatt]

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].

Remember a long time ago, Jack in the Box used to have those..onion rings and fries combined. They called em Frings. Totally gay.

[Ehwmatt]

When Mel Gibson puts out a movie that promotes racism, that is when I will boycott his movies. I have not seen that in his work, and that is my only interest in him. He is NOT the only person who has these beliefs and feelings in his heart, he is just the only one drunk enough or stupid enough to get caught by people HE allowed into his life. And if he is an ugly person the way this woman describes, then that's up to people who know him to personally not allow him into their lives. What does any of that have to do with me? It has zero to do with me. Or the world for that matter when it was a PRIVATE moment between two people. That woman brought it to the world. She could have brought it to the privacy of the COURT if it was for the custody battle. Bringing it public made me lose respect for her. It's hard to feel sorry for someone I have no respect for. If Mel really is a racist, of course I don't respect his views or him as a person either. But it doesn't mean I can't respect his work.

It has everything to do with you now that you have the knowledge of what kind of person he is. If Hitler were an actor, and a good one, would that change you opinion of him? Would you think he had a right to be as evil and hateful as he wanted as long as he didn't protray it in a movie?


When a person supports racism it gives racism power and other simple minds will believe, and trust me, this is gonna happen with racists everywhere, that if you support Mel, you support his kind of racism. He'll be the poster boy for the KKK and the Skinheads in 3, 2, 1...

As usual youre full of shit ..... Hitler killed millions of people,,,, thats not even in the same fucking category and level of racism Mel Gibson may have shown......
I can tell you this,, If Mel Gibson wouldve killed a few hundred Jews , I doubt it that he would have had the same success with BraveHeart or any other movies he directed......
I think Mel Gibson is a great actor/director and his PERSONAL views doesnt affect me none,,,,

Obviously another racist who just needs an excuse to be racist.

LOL... Behshad... racist? The dude sounds like he could be issuing terrorist threats from Flight 93 on 9/11 . I'd venture to guess he's born the brunt of racism quite often the last 9 years. Good lord.

[Red13JoePa]

Mel sure is a passionate fella. I see no crimes here. Carry on.

I just spit out a giant spoonful of Cocoa Pebbles at the comment about his wife getting raped by a pack of niggers. Good Jesus that is funny.

I think you and I are gonna be the only 2 that find some comedic value in Mel's rant. 13 is probably on his way to church to pray for him. "God, please show Mel the way, allow Joe Paterno to live another 108 years and inspire Sly to make another Rocky movie."

You're only right about the Rocky part.
Care less about this and saying "nigger" does not a racist make.
Leave the guy alone.

[Rip Rokken]

Sly's making another Rocky movie?????!!!!!!!!

He's making another Rambo...

He called it off, unfortunately.

[squirt1]

He seems extremely nutty to me like so many Hollywood stars.

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".
