Mel Gibson - feel sorry for or hate?

No, but many people do make racist jokes, and I don't think they're any worse than any other racist comment that can be made except that they can be funny.

oh yeah, mel gibson saying he hopes his wife gets raped by a pack of n-words sounds like every other funny racial joke i've heard. :roll: c'mon....

So your suggesting when every one gets angry they start screaming racial slurs?

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="bobaban"]Wow after listening to that tape of him berating his GF, he really does seem despicable. lazerface216

lol are you in a relationship? if i EVER talked to my wife like that she would punch me in the face. if you talk to your girl in any way, shape or form like that...it ain't gonna last much longer.

"That's a deal breaker, ladies!"

lol, that's what i was going to say but got tired of arguing with the kid about it. like you said, the guy's career is irrelevant nowadays anyways...

I don't really care about how he is as a person, for all I care he could be feeding on bloodpacks in his basement while watching Salò with a happy grin, I do like him as an actor though.

I don't think he suggested anything of the kind. Actually, I don't think he made any kind of suggestion at all. . .

And I certainly agree that what one says in their home is "their" business. I could give a rats ass what he says.

I like Mel Gibson. So what if he says offensive things when he is angry? Saying offensive things actually conveys the emotion of anger quite well.

About what he said to the mother of his child, so what? If she really does dress that way, then there is nothing wrong with calling it like it is. Heck, I mock women that dress provocatively. I had a friend whose girlfriend dressed like that, and when they came over, I straight-up asked her if she was a stripper. Yeah, she got mad, but my friend knew better than to make a confrontation out of it in my own house. When they broke up, we all had a good laugh as he admitted that she did dress like a stripper.

If a woman doesn't want to be accused of dressing provocatively, then she shouldn't dress provactively. If she wants to dress that way, then she should be prepared to hear criticism from people like me.

And he always plays the same role. Angry family man seeks revenge over family members death.dercoo

[QUOTE="dercoo"]And he always plays the same role. Angry family man seeks revenge over family members death.AAllxxjjnn

What're you talking about?

Remember in Braveheart how his family was murdered and he sought revenge?

Or Road Warrior, where his family was murdered and he sought revenge.

Or who could forget Lethal Weapon, where his family was murdered and he sought revenge.

[QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"][QUOTE="dercoo"]And he always plays the same role. Angry family man seeks revenge over family members death.frostybanana

In Braveheart, only his Dad died, and he didn't seek revenge for his Dad's death so much as he saw his Dad's death as a sign of corruption that must be stopped.

I don't like how many of the responses here are "what he says to his woman behind closed doors is their business". I don't think it's ever ok to talk to anyone the way he did in those recordings.PerfectCircles

It's perfectly fine, IF you are Mel Gibson.

I don't hate him, but he deserves what he gets for hating on his ex like that. My favorite part was when he said he wouldn't stand for how she dresses now. As if he has a choice in the matter. I can see why see left him. What a ass he is towards women. I am glad his agent dropped him. Hate is to strong a word for how I feel towards him. Do I like him? Hell no. But I don't hate him.

How could anyone feel sorry for him? Here's just part of his last quote (censored of course, for the sake of the mods here) ""You're an embarrassment to me, you look like a (f-word) pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of (n-word), it will be your fault."paradigm68

Honestly I am indifferent toward him. I think he has been in a few good films, and he seems to be a decent director. That is all I care about. I won't stop watching his films because of something he said. I think it is silly to stop watching someone's work because of their personal life. What does their personal life have to do with their work? Many very talented people were also probably not very nice, but who cares? If their work is still good that is what is important. Heck Klaus Kinski was known to be a wife beater but I still think he was a brilliant actor, and Roman Polanski raped an underage girl but I still watch his films because he is a great director.

Interesting fact. The person on whose experiences that movie was based was one of my college professors.

Are you forgetting I don't know, HIS WIFE who was killed by the English.

The event that triggered the rebellion he started.

your college professor's family was murdered and he sought revenge?frostybanana

LOL, no, but he was a correspondant in Indonesia during a violent coup.

I feel sorry for him to a point..though he really shouldn't have done what he did...

[QUOTE="lazerface216"]

[QUOTE="XilePrincess"]the only thing that offends me is how bad he treats his girlfriend, to be honest.XilePrincess

that's the only thing huh? how about the numerous racist and anti semitic remarks he's made?

Kinda feel bad for the guy. Seems a bit suspicious that this woman has all these recordings of him. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that she's been intentionally provoking him just so she can make these audio recordings of him. Some women are just evil like that.

Impaired or not your still responsible for what you say and your actions.PerfectCircles

I don't care. He's human.

And being responsible means if the person he said them to never talks to him again then so be it. But it's between the two of them and not the entire world.
