32. I agree with Rick. People always like to give others a hard time when they stand up for what they believe in when it is not like the status quo. We advocate for tolerance but only when it coincides with our own opinions. We become intolerant of others if it's an opinion we don't like or don't want to hear. What ever happened to true freedom of speech?

33. Give him a break guys!!! He is only human. It says he was pulled over, not convicted.

34. NO ONE IS PERFECT AND WITHOUT SIN. AS FAR AS MEL BEING A RELIGIOUS FANATIC, IT'S SAD IF YOU SPEAK WITH PASSION ABOUT YOUR LOVE FOR CHRIST YOU ARE LABELED A NUT BUT YOU CAN SAY OR DO "ANYTHING" ELSE AND IT'S O.K!!!!

38. "religious nutbag"? "What would Jesus do?"?? "nazzi Lover"?? "passion of the BOOZE"??? You are all rediculous!! since when did making a movie or sharing your beliefs EVER mean you were perfect? or that you loved Nazzi's, or were Nuts?? so the guy had a few drinks? and drove home!??!! you'd be suprised how many people do this EVERY NIGHT and don't get stopped by the police! not that it makes it right, but thank GOD there was no one hurt!! the guy's never spoken out in condemnation of any moral stance. Just because he made a Christian Themed movie, he suddenly has to be perfect at every stance? Makes alot of sense to me!

39. I think that Mel was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. How many others don't get caught and are a danger to the public at large? Just because he's a celebrity, he should not have to put up with all the ridicule coming his way.

I think there should be more personal brethalyzers for sale to the general public to test their own breath before driving. If there were, they'd be a great fewer DUIs for cops to arrest and the roads would be a lot safer. But I think the cops like to say "gotcha" so this probably won't happen.

I think the public and Mel Gibson are judged unfairly I'm for more personal breathalyzers and personal responsibility in using them. In fact every bar ought to have one installed.

40. Most all of the comments I have read here about this story well prove the insensitivity, moral cowardice and bigotry of the writers who presumably all despise Gibson for his audacity in exercising his freedom of speech, creativity and religion.

I think you high-minded souls need to do a little self examination.

41. All I can say it takes very little alcholol to get you a DUI. I have been soical drinker for over ten years, and yes I have developed a tolerance and no I am not "reckless drunk". I have driven home with alcholol in my system and that's when I'm most careful. When I am too "drunk" I know not to drive. Never have I gotten a DUI, even after ten years!!! I understand drinking and driving is a bad choice, but the very intoxicated drunks who drive recklessly and kill innocent bystanders are the reason for such bad stigma!! Even the most responsible careful drinkers suffer for this. For all we know Mel Gibson might have had an 8oz glass of wine but that's enough for a DUI!!! So cast the first stone if your without SIN!!!

42. Hey Mikey what is wrong with the nazi's I think we did a decent job on the jews. So Mel is human as a catholic he can repent his sins and say fifty hail mary's then be forgiven in the morning. Go mel, and maybe a remake of the original mad max.
