Mel Gibson...what a lovely man!

It would appear that the Jews got off lightly this time!

Will he be able to quell this one with a 'mea culpa' appearance on Jay Leno, or not?

[jackthehat]

He's increasingly demonstrating that Hutton's influence casts a long shadow.........

It's a domestic as far as I can see. His use of the N word is peripheral to having a go at his former Mrs. Just replace the N word with your choice of feel good word and hey presto it's a domestic.

Well, Nick Griffin and his ilk have been getting away with similar "platitudes" in this country for years!
Gibson isn't ever over here, so what's the massive interest in an ageing American movie star who's just being consistent in his views, no matter how repugnant they may seem to the majority? He's not exactly a "role model"(whatever one of those is meant to be?) for anyone, is he?

'What's the interest in an American movie star'? errr... where do I start?

People are interested in American movie stars.

I don't know about Leno, he may have to go straight to Oprah.

[cazzz1975]

he is australian isnt he?

[craft1948]

Just confirms what an obnoxious little prat he is..........

[cazzz1975]

my mistake he is usa born

[jno]

a born-in-New York Australian. I don't know what nationality he currently holds.

[sp1814]

I truly believe that he has the potential to follow in the footsteps of Eastwood (ie. an actor who turns out to be a great director - cd. 'Apocolypto')...if he could just learn to reign it in!!!

The rule that all famous people should follow is this "Always assume that the person you're phoning is recording the call".

Alec Baldwin would've been wise to follow that same rule.

[ummmm]

People say some very nasty things in arguments. Not just movie stars...

[DrFilth]

last time i saw him he was wiping out edwards army

[Greedyfly]

People do say nasty things in arguments but racism is not needed, no matter what the reason or situation!

[ummmm]

I've been called an Irish **** **** before. It's just angry words. They are said to hurt not to represent opinions.

[Dolly1308]

No ,he's not Australian ,thank goodness .Look at his father for being a role-model.

[Greedyfly]

I wouldn't stand for it whether it was just meant as an angry retort or not!

[Greedyfly]

And I most certainly wouldn't do it either. I have a terrible temper and I often say things I don't mean but I have never and would never do that

[ummmm]

That's life....

Ironic thing is he always played up the fact that he was a good catholic. Just goes to show what a load of hypocrites so-called relegious people can be
