62. EVERYBODY ON HERE IS NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF HYPROCRITES! ITS EASY FOR ALL OF YOU TO POINT THE FINGER WHEN I GUARNATEE YOU EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU HAS DONE THE SAME THING! AT LEAST UNLIKE OTHER CELEBRITIES HE IS NOT DROPPING HIS KIDS ON THEIR HEADS OR BEATING THEM OR BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE FOR HIS PROBLEMS. HE IS A GREAT ACTOR AND A ROLE MODEL FOR ALOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE! NAME ONE OTHER TIME THAT MEL GIBSON HAS HAD BAD PRESS! EVER SINCE THE PASSION OF CHRIST CAME OUT WHICH WAS A GREAT GREAT FILM! ITS OK TO MAKE OTHER ANTISEMTIC MOVIES BUT GOD FORBID YOU PUT THE ASPECT OF CHRISTIANITY IN THE MOVIES THATS NOT JEWISH THEN LETS ALL POINT THE FINGER. IT WAS OK TO MAKE MOVIES ON KILLING ARE OWN PEOPLE IN DEGRADING MANNER...AND YET WE SAY WE ARE NOT PROMOTING VILOLENCE, RAPE, AND OTHER SUCH THINGS! PLEASE YOUR BETTER REAM ALL OF HOLLYWOOD FOR ALL THE MOVIES THEY SEEM TO FORGET THAT BRING HARM TO OTHERS!

63. I know Mel Gibson and his family very well and they are good people. They are always involved in helping others in need and this is just a good example of how alcohism affects everyone. My father is an alcoholic and I know first hand how difficult it is to overcome this horrible disease.

Those of you trashing him don't know him or his family! If you did you wouldn't be saying these horrible things, but since he is famous everything must be blown out of proportion.

After living in Malibu for years I also know that the cops out there suck and they are all Veteran Sheriffs with sticks up their asses and I'm sure provoked him!

64. I think Mel Gibson has the BEST movies I have ever seen (I don't care WHO they are about!) They are MOVIES, if you don't like them don't go see them, DON'T stand outside and picket (get a job). I will continue to watch whatever movies he makes. There are alot of people that are getting drunk driving and make a scene how come I don't see all the controversy about them? Just because he has money and fame? I also want to add this: I hate to tell you all but there is no.... WIZARD OF OZ! Remember FREEDOM OF SPEECH! You can say what you want, so can he and everyone else!

65. Of course he went to rehab...it was the easiest thing to do. When a person has been drinking, it is widely known that the words out of his/her mouth are usually the truth. While he may be sorry for what he said out loud, I don't believe he is sorry for what he truly believes. This is not something new for him and his family. If someone truly WANTS to get sober, they will, no matter what method they choose for their sobriety. And sometimes, it may take many relapses. What bothers me is that he is still driving in his "Lethal Weapon". What part of "you are an anti-semite" do you not think is true? GHS

66. Oh God, get OVER this people!

I've heard my Jewish friends say HORRIBLE things about the muslims and arabs when they are NOT drunk AND have seen some of the most racist and stereotypical garbage come from Hollywood. And you're harping on a drunk man's comments? He apologized and is getting help for it. Leave the guy alone and fix on your own damn hypocritical selves.

67. I really like Mel Gibson..I think he has an illness and once he recognizes it and deals with it life will go on...I don't think people should be so judgemental..take care of your own home first before yu start cleaning other peoples home...Take care of yourself Mel..and remember life is very short and the Good Lord does not give us more than we can handle...Judith

68. Gee, just what hollywoods needs. Another alchoholic anti semitic loser. It's not as if thismoron could act either.

69. i hate Mel Gibson. I am neither Christain Nor Jewish but i hate that old douche bag. Yah, after all those nasty comments he thinks it will be ok to apologize. he is sick. Sorry doesn't make a dead man Alive. Jacko.
anyway i hope his career(if any by now) dwindle like an ass. now a days people commit crime, murder, anti-semitism, whatever you name it, they have damn excuse for everything. "oh my father was abusive", "oh i live in such environment that i became a mugger", "Oh i was too drunk to think correct." Jackass, when you are drunk you tell the truth. now we know you true hypocrite color. Hope you never recover from drinking binge and hope you drink and rot to death.

70. I hate Mel Gibson .. and always knew he was anti-semitic.

Anyway, FYI .. the rehab center in Malibu, California is called Promises, not "Passages." I used to live in Malibu .. and about 90% of the celebrities that live in that town have stayed, at least once, at Promises.

71. Mel's out of control. Who knew? I'm glad that he apologized. I'm more concerned about our political 'leaders' who don't have a clue about accountability for their actions and send other people's children to Iraq to die.
-Because the guy spewed garbage while under the influence doesn't make him a scumbag, it makes him human.

72. I didn't know there was a rehabilitation facility for anti-semitism. Where is it? I need to recommend it to many people I know.

73. i believe the disease of alcholism was to blame on Mel`s behaviour. This dude has done so much in his life and is a good example to the governments of the world and the World Health Organization to ban Alchol for good. It is a serious disease and i wonder why alcohol is allowed in the world. It should not be allowed to be consumed by human beings. Infact a Doctor friend of mine told me Alcohol related deaths are so much and people just ignore them. Alcohol should be banned in the world.

75. I think that Mr Gibson's comments are those ofan alcholic who truly needs help; I doubt this will
undo all the damage his Dad's prejudice has done to him. I am not surprised that these awful things
come out when he is drunk, this is common with someone who is dependent. Somewhere in his
heart, he knows these things are wrong....again, the outbursts when drunk. I have experienced
similiar things, but fortunately, as a Christian who does not hate Jews, I have tried to study the
entire word of the Bible, not just parts of it. Evidently Mel's Dad, picks out what he wants to believe.
God loves the Jews just as he loves the rest of us. The Bible plainly says that we are all to blame,
not any one particular group....it was Jesus destiny to die for us, to show us God's incredible love.....
And John 3:16 doesn't say, "God so loved Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Muslim." What it does
say is "God so loved THE WORLD that HE GAVE HIS SON....." So many places in the Bible,
God warns against anyone harming his people, Israel..... People need to leave judgement to God,
and just study and committ to their hearts what the Bible says, not what someone tells them it says.
We should forgive Mel and pray for him, but yes, he has a lot of work to do. Someone in there
is the real Mel that knows the truth about himself....let's pray he finds it.
