"Do you believe this mindset came about overnight while getting drunk, or the most likely reality that he is an anti-Semite?"
Who are you? Sigmund Freud?
"I will not accept an apology from one who was just speaking his real feelings because the booze brought the truth out."
And I thought the Great Carnac was dead.
Don't forgive, don't expect forgiveness. Show no mercy, get no mercy.
Gibson could be confusing the Hollywood kind of Chuck Schmers we have NYC with the rest of God fearing good people!
Not all make movies to hurt Israel or like the NY Simes to hurt Israel there is a different Mel Gibson!
""Get over it, I was only following orders."
Nazi's said just about the same thing, that left millions of Jews murdered."
Put down the pipe. Guy gets drunk and now we're at this level? What a drama queen!
BTW, love your screen name!
Well, I bow to your expertise in that area! But don't hold onto your grudge forever. He may be in another great movie someday.
"Gibson doesn't owe you an apology".
Whoaaaa. Then only Jewish people should be permitted to defend him.
Mel's human. Nothing more needs be said. He needs to live his life forward, never again to make anti semitic remarks and I believe he'll be okay.
I hold no grudge, I doubt his apology that's all. If anything, I would love nothing more that Mr.Gibson to prove me wrong. :) And I sincerely hope and pray that he does want to change. I wish Mr.Gibson the best always.
APOLOGY ACCEPTED!
And I'll have the roast duck with mango salza.
You're still not a participant in this controversy. This is between the Jewish community and Mel Gibson. Those verses have no bearing on your position in this, rather they refer to God's protection of Israel and His son entering the world through it. I think it's time for a readjustment of your self-importance, and stop reading things into scripture that isn't there.
Again forgive me I didn't know "you guys were still around." LOL great post!
"Then only Jewish people should be permitted to defend him."
Really? What about "Sugar Tits?"
I am a participant in this thread
If you disagree with me , I have no problem at all. I will defend your right to your opinion, even if you disagree with me. Best of wishes to you and yours.
LOL!!!!!
Did that happen to Mel?
I don't know, I hope so! Why? because, "with God all things are possible".
People see only the outward appearance, but God see the heart, so time will tell if Mel had a real conversion.
"Sounds like a good apology to me, he took responsibility for his horrific statements and is owning up them, this is a good step, time will tell."
Not good enough for most of the sanctimonious posters on FR. Can you hear it? "Give us Barabbas!"
They can, it's rare that it takes less than a week though.
And purging unreasonable hate can be as hard as the deprogramming of a cultist.
