But how do you know what "they" really want? I'd say you're guessing at best. Motives are hard to figure out under most circumstances, but in a forum like this we can only speculate what others want.
Exactly
THAT is the undertone
Thank you
You DO know the rule against using past threads/fights on old threads...don't you? And you're asking me to break FR's rules?
You've been hitting all the nails tonight. What bothers me about all of the media attention is that everyone seems to forget that just about now every thing that can go wrong has gone wrong in the ME and Israel and consequently, 'Jews', are on the chopping block. I doubt Gibson is an anti-Semite, though he certainly has some reason to be anti-Zionist when he has had to tolerate Abe Foxman all these years.
Yeah, but the next freeper might not!
Good point!
LOL, you're killing me. You can accuse posters of being trolls but you can't mention their names because their posts were on other threads.
I'm not really big on criminal prosecution of hate speech, so you're right about the judge part.
The police report -- my understanding is that there was no mention of the things he said on the police report, leading some to accuse police of doctoring the report. I heard that this morning... has it changed?
Reinvent himself? That's PR. I'm not interested in him reinventing himself, but I do believe God can recreate us, forgive us, make us new. This requires real repentence, and I'm not sure he's there yet, but I can keep praying.
Pop -- you mean his father? Was that quote from Mel or his father? When was it said?
The sentiments are sadly not new.
I think even if Gibson hadn't done The Passion, he was still a big enough star that this would have made news. Big news.
Look at Charlie Sheen (sp?) - he's basically a nobody and every time he's in trouble, it's all over the news.
No answer.
(Sound of crickets chirping)
Too Funny!!!
I did NOT call anyone, on this thread, a troll. Neither have I called any Patsie a troll.
OTOH, what I posted and what YOU CCPed, happens to be the factual truth and when you claim something else, as you are doing now, ones must wonder as to why that is. I also wonder why you are asking me to do something which YOU must know is against FR's rules.
You'll have to try much harder, to get me to do something that can get me suspended or banned. I'm NOT falling for this ploy!
Wonder if somebody in the entertainment business here on FR knows somebody on the masthead of Variety? A phone call, an email...and suddenly we're the Poster Child of denouncing someone that Hollywood already hated.
I'm not convinced
I agree that when when Hollyweird messes up we all get a good laugh
I'm not laughing over this and things that are being said
The guy is messed up and I disagree with his politics completely
Of course as a Christian I am use to being made fun and or snickered at behind my back and being called a religious fanatic so.....
I hear you.
Are we starting a revolution?
