How many of you are truly outraged by Mel Gibson's remarks?

Shlomart Ben Yisrael · Wed Aug 02, 2006 1:11 pm

I mean...come on...

So he had a couple of pops and blurted out some widely accepted conceptions of reality in our modern age.

He's Braveheart, for fuck's sake! The Road Warrior!

So you're either down with this...

...or you're down with this...

"We control America..."

Can I get some Cliff's Notes? I haven't understood what the flap is all about. Something about his arresting officer being Jewish? Is that not acceptable in Malibu?

I don't give a fuck. I don't even get offended if someone says something derogatory about me or my family. If it was someone I truly cared about that said some shit about me or my family, I might have a problem with it, but I just don't see that happening.

If it was our President or someone else who actually has a job that matters to our country, then yeah, prolly not a good thing. Some pompous actor slams Jews? WGAF? Why some people care so much about other people's business is beyond me.

Yeah
Poor ole Mel
He might just have to retire and spend several million dollars toughing it out in his mansion or traveling around the globe in his Private Jet.

What an idiot, didn't he know the ramifications of his wreckless actions?
He's fucked for sure..........

try inserting another religion (say catholic or baptist) in place of "jew" and see if your offended by his remarks......

"fucking catholics, they're responsible for all the wars"

"are you baptist"

I don't find that offensive......

Ahh, but the word Jew also implies a particular ethnic group as well as a religion. Not to mention an ethnic group that was targeted for extermination within the last century.

Therein lies the difference, imho.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. But at least I have the balls to say it to their face.

so everything you believe good or bad is said to everyones face. all of your opinions you feel towards them, you don't hide anything or hold your tongue at all.

I find that completely IMPOSSIBLE to believe.

As a point of clarification, what "exactly" did Gibson say say when he got popped for DUI? Was it truly anti-semetic, or was it simply the slurred ramblings of a liquored-up Hollywood whack-job?

Well, in any case, Gibby prolly just screwed the pooch on his chances of grabbing an Oscar for "Apocalypto", 'cause the Acadamy peeps (with a pretty fair representation of Hebrew types) hold a grudge for a long, long time.
