Mel Gibson apologizes directly to Jews; ...asks for more than forgiveness.

Well, you can keep making comments like this, or read over the last page of the thread and try to figure it out the point. Again, I do have something quite specific, clear and obvious in mind.

Past my bedtime now. Good night, thumps.

I don't want a cookie, I want some gobs. Does anyone else here know what they are? I've only seen or heard of them in southwestern Pennsylvania, and not even everyone there seems to know what they are. They're sort of a cookie sandwich; two truncated-dome shaped cookies, maybe 2 1/2 inches in diameter, made out of a some kind of a chocolate cake batter, held together with a creamy icing in between.

Man, I wish I had some gobs.

Mel suffered greatly under Anthony Hopkins. His condition is direct result of this type of abuse:

The Bounty

Mel hates pommy bastards as a result.

Betty Bowers' comments on Mel....

Yes, the fact that Mel was apprehended for driving like Billie Joel down the Pacific Coast Highway hardly deserves notice. What is more newsworthy, and problematic to conservative Christians everywhere, is the unscripted dialogue Mel recited to the police. According to the police report, Gibson launched into an unseemly barrage of anti-Semitic statements, including: "F*****g Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Gibson then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?" before turning on his megawatt charm to say, "You mother f****r. I'm going to f*** you."

I bet if anyone had asked him whether his rabid anti-Semitic vitriol indicated that the writer and director of "The Passion of the Christ" really had intended for that film to be anti-Jewish propaganda, as many had suspected, Mel would have replied, "Thash jusht a coinshidensh, you f_ckin Jew!"

Frankly, I am furious with Mel for spilling the beans. To drunkenly confirm that he froths at the mouth at even the thought of a Jew was an appalling slip into candor. And when you are a conservative Christian, honesty holds no promise of new friendship. On the contrary, Mel's honesty makes things very uncomfortable for Christians everywhere after we spent the past two millennia saying, "There is nothing anti-Semitic about a story that blames the death of God on those filthy Christ-killers!"

Mel has already found a very expensive person who happens to be sober to issue a statement on his behalf. With the wave of a publicist's pricey wand -- and few complicit incantations from Entertainment Tonight -- poof, a PR miracle! Reprehensive anti-Semitic hatred is now suddenly merely an unfortunate, unintended side effect of the "disease of alcoholism." Like unattractive scaliness is an unpleasant offshoot of the heartbreak of psoriasis. And, in a world presided over by Oprah, there can be no blame, no culpability once your publicist has e-mailed a perfunctory form letter of standard contrition. Because in America if you say, "I'm having problems with alcohol/drugs" instead of "I'm having problems with being a bigot," you are cheered, rather than scorned.

I'm staying at the Doubletree.. they have the BEST cookies at the front desk every day. I try to avoid them (they must be 500 calories apiece), but every now and then.... mmmmmmm. :hearts:

I think he has acknowledged having problems with being a bigot which is why in the statement he said he would like to work out his problems with the Jewish community.

I personally plan to boycott his movies and am very turned off by him.

But I do believe we should see what he does now.

Dont' you think we should see what he does before we crucify him? It can't have been easy for him to grow up with the dad he had. Is it because he's rich and famous that we can't forgive him? If he had been a ghetto kid growing up as he did would we try and rehabilitate him or would we crucify him?

This Mel Gibson affair is the most trivial of matters. If it the same incident had involved Dennis Hopper or perhaps even Jack Nicholson, it would have been passed off as typical of an eccentric personality and not to be taken at all seriously.

I'm not so sure. I do agree they wouldn't get as much pub but they would still turn me off.

I wonder tho' if Gibson had spewed the same vitriol against Hispanics if it would have gotten any pub.

His "sugartits" comment aimed at the female police officer bugged me too and that hasn't gotten any pub or outrage.

There you have it. Hispanics aside what if Mel mouthed off against Arab Muslims?
Of course there would a be a fatwa and then who would be the poor victim?

In America "sugartits" could be considered a term of endearment

Would you boycott Chopin's music ? I would not.

On the other hand, I will definitely ignore some TNCR posters after the "revelations" I had in those Gibson threads.

The Dangers of AlbertaCrude Cookies

Dog Pound, Alberta-- Twenty years of police work had done little to prepare RCMP Staff Sgt. Pierre Lapuck for the scene of carnage at Wildwood High School. Bloated teenaged corpses lined the hallways, mouths contorted into blissful grins, bellies ruptured, and internal organs splattered against the walls.

Crumbs crunched under the Sgt's riding boots. He reached down to take a sample between his index finger and thumb. They were the remains of baked goods, he determined, golden brown with chocolate chips and a hint of something extra.

"Not in my town," thought Lapuck. "I' av read about 'dis on de internalnet but please, Maudite tabarnack, not in my village." He put the crumbs to his nose and sniffed, confirming his most feared suspicions...

AlbertaCrude cookies.

"It's an insidious problem," the Staff Sgt. informed reporters. "Kids and adults love dis' crude cookie baking. Ev'rybody love de cookie. Each one alone is harmful in its own way, but when you put them together...pow! De more de crude cookie you eat, the hungrier you growed. The hungrier you growed, the more d'crude cookie you eat. Maudite! It an pooportionatley increasing cycle that don't not stop until your belly rip open like a pinata at locale multicultural summer festival sponsored by Federale Liberal Party."

Experts estimate that nationwide, 300 people explode each year after engorging themselves with too many AlbertaCrude cookies.

"You tink dey would stop before it kill them. You really tink dey would realize what was 'appening. But the secret bitumen dough [herb mixed with high fat butter and brown sugar] impair de brain perception and judgment. And all those chocolate chips make it hard to have an open casket funeral because of all the zits."
