Do you still find Mel Gibson repulsive?

Question

Do you still find Mel Gibson repulsive?
Disgusting, repulsive, egotistical, Jew hating, alcoholic?
Worst of all pious.

Answer 1

Most people named "Mel" are alright in my book. Especially YA Mel...

Answer 2

When I think about Mel Gibson, I think about how he sobered up and quit drinking and doing drugs. Only to develop another, just as unhealthy, set of obsessions. He has an addictive personality and like most people who suffer from that, he takes not only his addictions, but his views, to the extreme. It's definitely not helping his image. I don't think there's a whole lot of people that will ever again buy into the freewheeling, lovable characters he was so great at playing before he got clean and got seriously crazy.

Answer 3

Is he running for office or something? What does this have to do with politics? But no, he's no repulsive. Most successful men are egotistical. And many of them are alcoholics. He's just a man, a human being like the rest of us: Flawed and trying to get through life making it as interesting as possible for ourselves.

Answer 4

Mel is a lower than the impression of alcohol, and he spouted off in a way that jogs my memory of a particular huckster that continues to easily accept very a lot of appreciate regardless of his use of the word 'hymietown'. Jesse Jackson is a loser, hiding his prejudices in the back of his epidermis tone. Mel is prejudiced by ability of his hatred of jews, no longer in accordance to epidermis color, yet on faith. type of sounds like Mel and maximum Muslims are interior a similar boat. Pious isn't the priority, ethnocentrism is. Piety is a good, in the adventure that your faith is largely sturdy. Christianity has spent 50 years atoning for its before excesses, Buddhism remains a phenomenally non violent rigidity for a lot of its practioners, Islam appears to be like operating to erase any memory of its functional heritage in a collection of suicide belts, jailed rape victims, jailed college instructors, butchered villagers, dried up marshes, steadily better autocratic political procedures, stoned youthful girls, Darfurian wastelands, van Gogh kind interaction, Islamic clitorectomies... Mel ranting about Jews? no longer sturdy, yet we've larger issues.

Answer 5

No. Mel Gibson is an excellent actor and director. He has great talent. You can't judge a person by what he does while he is drunk. It is the best of the person that lest he be judged.

Answer 6

Ugh. Yeah, I do.

It's funny that everybody's like, "Aww, it's OK to say racist and otherwise hateful crap while you're drunk. Don't worry. Drunkenness and Hollywood fame is an excuse for everything, including name-calling and beating your wife and perhaps killing someone you don't like." No. Sorry. I and most of the decent, educated people I know would *never* spew such s.hit, no matter how tanked we were. Do you know why? Because we don't harbor hate for other people based on their religions or other traits they couldn't have helped but been born with.

So THAT'S the problem with spewing hateful crap when you're drunk - or sober.

Answer 7

He's a human being, like everyone else; you'd be drunk and you'd say crap that you would never say while sober.

He's a good actor and director, and frankly, "We Were Soldiers" was an excellent movie. So what if he starts talking stupid when he has a few too many; hasn't everyone been there?

Cut the guy a break.

Answer 8

No, he's just a guy working through the challenges and the questions. I might not agree with him on some things, but he's no more repulsive than you are.

Answer 9

Nope. Never did. Everyone makes mistakes. Even you. And Mel makes better movies that you ever will.

Answer 10

You assume that everyone initially saw him as repulsive. I never thought this. So no, I do not find him repulsive.
