Odd Couple Gibson, Moore Exchange Praise (Say It Ain't So Mel!

[Johnny Allright]

I don't agree on what Mel said but I still will watch his movies aspeially The Passion.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Ah, it's not that bad.

[Borges]

I implied no such thing. Every rational person knew that Hussein was a malignant dictator including myself. Talking about how people felt beforehand is a parlor game akin to 'Should we have dropped the bomb at Hiroshima' or 'Should Lincoln have let the South go'. What's the point? We have to win now.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Mel's father has nothing to do with this.

[hattend]

What did the press really expect Mel to say about Moore's film?

"God, that piece of XXXX movie was the biggest steaming pile I have seen in a long time"

It just isn't going to happen...especially back stage at an awards show.

[Borges]

I misread the article which ahd mentioned Moore's father.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

The remarks I read slamming the Iraq war makes me even wonder if his Christianity is real.

Oh now that's not fair.

[Jaded]

Actually there are 22 different Rites. Then there are things like SSPXers. That's a meltdown discussion for another day.

Like any other religion there are those that are a great deal more conservative and those that are flaming liberals.

[loreldan]

OK, I think everybody should calm down!!! Even if he doesn't agree with us on everything - he's still one of the very few people making movies that I am comfortable watching. "The Passion", "Braveheart", "The Patriot." These are all movies made from a conservative point of view, so I'm not going to dump him because he praised a left-winger.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

vicious film? Did you see it? No one took Jesus' life. He GAVE it as a sacrifice for the sins of all mankind. That's hardly vicious.

[iconoclast]

And what is that tragic waste?

The lives
the blood
the limbs
Of our best and bravest.

And less importantly
$122,820 per MINUTE.

I asked a simple question in my reply #75, is the world better or worse off with saddam toppled.

You decided to give a somewhat ambiguous answer in your reply #77(iconoclast has been silent so far).

JMO, I think that the world is better off with saddam gone and saddam's terrorist allies, know that also, and are desperate in trying to make the American people weak in their resolve, and they have an ally in michael moore, and it also seems Mel Gibson, IMO.

[notigar]

you won't be around long with a mouth like that.

[Jaded]

Sometimes it's just entertainment and mind-numbing at that. At least thats what people tell me when I shred movies because of the inaccuracies.

[Dane]

Uh answer the question, is the world better or worse off, IYO, with saddam toppled.

[Jenya]

so I'm not going to dump him because he praised a left-winger.

Nobody's asking you to. MY issue with Mel is that he praised that POS film 9/11. Anyone who heaps praise upon a movie that slanders Bush and his family can go to hell, in MY opinion.

[Dane]

The lives
the blood
the limbs
Of our best and bravest

IOW, you, IMO, also believe that WW II was a waste also.

[Destro]

Prop 71 was?

[Dane]

The last sentence in my reply #97 should not be italicized and is my response to iconoclast's reply #91

[notigar]

When between our founding and now did our foreign policy become "make the world better off"?
