1. This is the 2nd unseemly incident he's had recently
He has an awfully thin skin. He needs to man up and take his lumps for his little drunken tirade. Until he does he'll have to listen to more questions like the fairly mild ones that pissed him off this time.

My guess is he eventually snaps and blames Jews for the "hostility". And with any luck, that should pretty much finish off his career.

He's an asswipe.

4. Wasn't Mel Gibson Australian Once?
It seems like the Mad Max movies are the only ones where he sounds Australian. Kinda freaky, but heah, that's Mel.

8. You've gone on anti-semitic and sexist tirades before?
No wonder Mel doesn't bother you.

13. Lots of decent people have not.
But Mel Gibson is not a decent person so his behavior is understandable.

18. I haven't
And I have been drunk so many times. And at one time most of my friends were drunks.
But there are two kinds of drunks, the life of the party drunk and the mean drunk...and I am guessing that he is the mean drunk.
In fact I had so much experience with drunks and the drama they engage in I took it upon myself to educate me about alcohol and alcoholics.
And what I learned was that alcohol is really a poison that can only kill parts of people, which is no big deal because you got lots of brain cells...But it is the frontal lobe of the brain that is most affected and that is where reason resides,

Thus the old Chinese saying "First the man takes a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes a man"

12. Jumping to conclusions??
way I've heard it his moronic PR guy was the asshole. knowing Mel probably said in jest.

Asshole is just fine. But Retard? o_O guess thats out. Unless we wanna talk about the retarded growth of trees from acid rain.

Listen to George Carlin a large chunk of my life and good lord. yes retard is far worse than asshole. No I'm not referring to it as the R word. Means the same fucking thing. Anybody going to list the seven words you can't say on television? not sure if asshole is one.

And Tits.... my brother was driving the car (with mom in the passenger seat and I'm in the back and this nimrod (redneck??) had a bumper sticker that read Show Me Your Tits. Anyone wanna key his car?? Can't imagine too many hubby's looking good on that driver.

14. The thing about this type of language is that it shows a basic
lack of respect for other people.

17. huh?
I have no idea what you're talking about.. cursing on television? The interviewer seemed to be very polite about his past problems with anti-semitic tirades so as not to mention them specifically. Mel Gibson asked him to what he was referring, almost as a challenge because he got sensitive about it, and the interviewer clarified. Then Mel Gibson got mad that he called his bluff. Gibson appears only to allow candor one way. Has very little to do with what curse word you can or cannot say on television.

15. Give Mel a break. He probably hasn't had enough unprotected sex in a while.

Edited on Fri Feb-05-10 10:47 PM by BostonScorpion
Is not antisemitism (tho he is an asshole for what he said) or alcohol. Its anger. He looked like he wanted to reach thru the screen and murder that reporter. He can not handle even kid glove interviews. He is REALLY going to snap at one point.
