I *used* to like Mel Gibson

Well, like I said before, it is none of my business.
Besides, there is not one person here on this website or on this planet that has not sinned, broken the rules the law or done something they regret.

Difference is that we are not in the gossip columns.

And it seems to me we are only getting part of the story. The part the media feeds us, like always.

Any person who is an anti-semitic, holocaust denier is lower than dirt IMO. While it may not be my business how someone runs their private life, it is absolutely my business to make sure someone like that gets none of my money and I will do my best to encourage others to do the same.

Exactly, I can't stand Alex Baldwin, but he is a good actor. I think John Wayne was a outstanding person and a great American but I just never could acquire a taste for his acting style. And what qualifies any actor to tell me who to vote for??

Not sticking up for Mel, but how many of y'all have been drooling over Sam, isn't he married? Yea it's fantasy but still coveting none the less. Now who was it who said something about being without sin and casting stones?

That'd be the guy on your other shoulder.

Wow.

I have a hard time separating the media-issued personality from the on-screen character.

Knowing that Mel Gibson is joking about his GF having his 8th child while he's still married to his wife (and mother of children 1-7) is frustrating. If my best friend was separated from her husband and he had a GF who got pregnant, I would be equally angry. Or if my brother were to do this to a woman (not that he'll ever settle down

) I would be equally angry.

I'm not saying, "oh his poor wife". Maybe she's a shrew. Maybe she's so lost in being a mother to 7 that she forgot how to be a wife to 1. I'm sure that she carries a burden of responsibility of their marriage dissolving. Only they know that.

But like I said. I *used* to like Mel Gibson. He was funny, quirky, made good movies, and had what appeared to be a good home life. Now he's a certifiable nut job whose celebrity status has gone to his head.

I haven't liked him for quite awhile.

Off topic, but...

See, for most of us women, there is a HUGE difference between admiring someone's good looks (Sam's) and drooling over to the point of wanting to bed that person. Just because I appreciate the artwork God did when He created Sam, and other very handsome men, doesn't mean that I covet them as husbands, or bed partners. That is one of the major differences between most women and men. Some men don't seem to be able to look without touching.

Back on topic... Mel really should have waited until he was divorced and remarried to father another child. Just my opinion on that subject.

Lol, I think the major difference is actually the ability of the woman to hide it from the man. The actual numbers for such transgressions aren't that much difference. It's really weird how cultural ideas of gender roles skew people's perceptions and keep them from seeing that women and men aren't all that much better than each other in the cheating area . . . though it may be true they cite different reasons for straying.

In Mel's case I figure he finally had an epiphany and realized he was already considered scum for being a holocaust denier, so he might as well party hearty.​

He really denied the holocaust??

If so, that tells me hes a few sandwiches short of a picnic then!
