Sounds like something I'd yell out at my wife if she went out in something too skimpy.

Hollywood and the media are condemning Mel Gibson, while forgiving Roman Polanski?

Not to defend these latest allegations - if he struck her, he needs to be held accountable - but this "racist" thing makes me laugh. A heat-of-the-moment comment, in private, is no one's business, and certainly doesn't warrant such an inflammatory term as "racist".

What's next? The "thought police"? Y'know, I would have thought the liberal media would be applauding him for exercising his freedom of speech, not seeking to censor him... What a crock. :facepalm:

1. Remember that one of the Gore/Lieberman platforms was "cleaning up Hollywood". Gore's wife founded the PMRC.

2. Freedom of speech only applies so long as no one disagrees with your point of view, didn't you know that?

What I don't understand is this, if a white celebrity uses a racial or religious slur (ala Mel Gibson or Kramer) in the heat of an argument all hell breaks loose and the whole world winces, a minority does the same thing during everyday conversation (Dave Chappell, Eddy Murphy, ect) it's a joke and no one cares. Pardon me but what's good for the goose is good for the gander, they're words people, you make sentences with them and they are needed for coherent speech and language, so what's the big F'ing deal. I don't get upset or bent out of shape if someone throws a racial or religious slur my way. Meh.

The trick to understanding this is to understand the word. Although the "N-Bomb" has racial connotations for most people, it is not a truly racial term. Most people are wrong. The term actually means dirty. The question of whether Mel is racist can be answere by asking him one question. "What's the difference between a N***** and a person of african descent?" To put it simply, a N***** is anyone( black, white, brown, yellow, green, purple, it dosen't effing matter) who values their image more than their family and responsibilities. Does it matter what color someone's skin is if they are always standing around on a street corner wearing hundred dollar shoes and thousands of dollars worth of jewelry while their family starves? No, it dosen't. There's my $0.02 worth.

Gray, it doesn;t matter that the term has a non racial origin, the sad fact is most of society recognizes it as a derogatory reference toward a specific race of people. You can ask Mel anything you wish, but as a public figure interested in preserving a likeable image, do you honestly think he'd answer you truthfully? c'mon.

Mel is proving himself to be quite a turd, especially if the charges are true that he beat the GF while holding their baby. We'll soon find out.

And I am also appalled by Hollywood embracing Roman Polanski. He is a true scumbag.

It's not ok to use the N word, but it's ok to refer to all women as bishez and whores? Where's the justice in that? Let's just face facts that regardless of who you are or where you come from EVERYONE has a specific word that gets under their skin and upsets them. For me it's the C word, or for someone who doesn't know me to call me stupid. For others maybe they don't like being called an a*hole or maybe some white people don't like to be called honky's or Guido's or micks. either way you slice it, they are all just words irregardless of their meaning (implied or given definition) or connotation. We throw the whole fag word around way to freely to mean a gay man, when in fact it's given meaning is a bundle of sticks. See where I'm going with this? A word is a word is a word, how you take it is how you decide to take it.

I can't believe Switzerland isn't extraditing.


As for Mel, obviously people should be free to say whatever words they like so long as it isn't material libel/slander (i.e. causing MATERIAL damages), but I still get the sense that he's a tremendous douche.

DAAN.

Actually, I want to be real for a minute. I just listened to the tapes for myself and at first, I was shocked at the words I was hearing and the forcefulness and emotion put behind them. It was "terrifying," as some journalists are putting it. It sounds almost paranormal it is so emotionally-driven. These words come from the core of a very damaged human being.

But I want you to think for a second. If you believe that no woman could ever be as cold, manipulative and soulless as Mel accuses his mail order girlfriend of being, you're dead wrong.

If you have never woken up next to a woman every day for 5 years and looked at her innocent and untroubled face as she slept, not knowing that she was planning to ruin your life... if you never waited loyally for her to come home from "work" with a heartfelt kiss for the same lips that you had no idea were all over someone else's d!ck all day... if you never spent several paychecks on an engagement ring that symbolized your devotion while she let someone else pay $20 for a cheap date and an easy f***... if you never gave in and let her fill your house with baby stuff for your future kids while she secretly took precautions not to get pregnant with your baby so she could leave you more easily later... if you never found all this out and swallowed your pain and your pride and your deep, dark anger to try to make it work because she told you that's what she wanted... if you never stood secretly humiliated in front of your combined friends and family and endured their well-wishes and gifts while you know in the back of your mind that the person you're supposed to be marrying won't leave her fling to be with you... if you never had to live in the house you bought and built together after she left you to move in with him... if you never believed her when she said she wanted to come back and make things right just so she could tear it away all over again, and again, and again... You have no right to judge the man.

Women can be soulless, evil, empty... seemingly possess not one iota of a conscience and driven by nothing short of a demonic will to twist and maim without a second thought.

Not saying this is true, but for any of you white knights jumping to her defense - there WILL be someone in your life (statistically speaking) that will push you way beyond the thresholds of pain you thought you could stand. You will be completely insane at some point in your life over a b****, and you will say and think things about her 1,000,000x worse than anything you heard Mel Gibson say.

So when you want to get up in arms about the use of a bad word or ethical treatment of other people, think about what she may have done to put him in that state of mind.

Unfortunately fame and success overpowers douchiness (I vehemently don't agree with it, but sadly this is the way the world works). Charlie Sheen is a wifebeating a$$, but he just got a new massive contract for that boring as hell show he's on. Kobe is a rapist but people stopped caring when he dropped 81 points on the Toronto Craptors. Bobby Fisher, Henry Ford, HG Wells, Thomas Edison, Shakespeare and H.P. Lovecraft are all well known anti-Semites. Elvis was quoted as saying that black people are only good for shining his shoes and buying his records.

Preach on, brother.

Like I said, if she didn't want to listen to it, she could have hung up the phone. If he's such a jackass, why stay? She's arguing right back, rather than saying, "Whatever". *click* Simple as that.

Now, if he DID hit her, he's in a heap o' trouble. But for the things he said? Pfft. Not even.

IMHO she's not an innocent party here either. They're both vindictive ugly (on the inside) people, though she does look very good in lingerie :naughty: (j/k)

The longer this drags on, the worse it'll get for Mad Mel. My unsolicited guess is he did hit her. And my crystal ball predicts he'll eventually STFU and pay her a couple million, so she won't testify against him, ruining the DA's case.
I also predict she'll pose for Playboy, and have unprotected sex with another celebrity and have a third out-of-wedlock child.

An amusing update. Radar On-line just released another expletive filled recorded Mel phone ranting. Howard Stern just played it. It was both funny and cringeworthy. No racial slurs this time, but he is completely unhinged.

Screaming and hyperventilating in this call, Mad Mel blasts the GF for allegedly falling asleep waiting for him resulting in his not getting oral sex from her prior to his getting into their jacuzzi. It sounds like he might have a serious case of OCD and has a special ritual he feels compelled to follow or he goes nuts. He's way over the top crazy and threatens to burn down her house, BUT not before she gives him oral sex. Wow.

I know this wasn't directed specifically at me, but I just wanted to point out that just because he's a c0ck doesn't make her a saint.
