Bulletin: Gibson Enters Recovery Program

76. When I think of Mel Gibson I think of "The Passion of The Christ". I read articles about the movie after I watched it. Mel's movie saved alot of lost souls! He's lost and I hope he finds his way home. I, too, am an alcoholic. My Higher Power is God, and I get through the hard things in life by believing that "everything happens for a reason." I would like to think that Mel's Higher Power felt that falling off the wagon would help him help other people. I know this post sounds religous but I just wanted to share my views.

77. Wow! I think more the word anti-Semitic is really overused in these blogs. I see more anti-Arab propaganda in the Jewish controlled media! One is almost lead to believe that all Arabs are terrorists and poor Israel stands alone amid them. Let's see, Israel has 450 fighter planes to lebanon's 0. Israel arrests and imprisons hundreds of Palestinians without trial. Israel's smart bombs land on civilians and the UN, OOOOPPPPPPSSSSS! And guess what? Whenever someone makes these true statements, they are ANTI-SEMITIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I give these Arabs credit. They have one thing Israel will never have. A set of BALLS!

78. It's a shame that a person who has the potiential to be a positive role model as a result of being a celebrity uses that postiion instead to be a role model for hate and anti-semitism. Mr. Gibson's reported behavior toward the officers he encountered was disgraceful and showed a total lack of control. Thankfully, the officers showed more class than Mr. Gibson

81. I am in a 12 step fellowship and my father is Jewish. I am so torn right now about how i feel about this idiot. the addict in me is saying he is not responsible for his disease while he is using. The other side of me thinks he should be put in the ground with his Nazi father.

82. i guess it is that easy to get out of trouble , is to enter rebab. I am a recovering addict and alcoholic and if he is doing this just to get a slap on the wrist. He needs to be castrated. I hate that man. He needs to run back to the country that he is from and get out of the US

84. I'm sick of the misuse of the term "anti-semite". that is true that 'semetic' means decentdents of Shem, although you'll never hear this mentioned. Actually the "semetic" means be the jews, arabs, Christians, etc from that area of the world around what is now Palestine, Israel, Syria,some of Egypt, etc. For example in Israel you have semetic jews but you also have the jews that came there after the creation from Europe and Russia- who are not semetic. Originally this was a linquitic term based on the languages there but later became a racial classification (like 'caucasian', 'mongoloid', 'negroid', etc.) We don't use these terms much now, but originally they had no racist intent, just descriptive. However the zionists have promoted the term 'anti-semetic' to mean anti-jew only. This way their money-making and war-mongering cannot be criticized by anyone. Otherwise you will be villified as being racist or against jews. Mel was correct in his statements. Just because he was drunk (or maybe drugged by someone) doesn't mean his statements weren't true. He was complaining about zionism and their neo-con minions who love war because it makes their banks money, their newspapers money, their tv stations money, and their munition factories money. Stay Strong Mel!!

85. it`s the alcohol disease that should be blamed not Mel. He is a good example why WHO (world health organization) and the entire world should ban alcohol.
Many people die of this disease and he is lucky he didn`t hurt innicent people.

86. Mel apologized for his "despicable" comments - how big of him! , but what about driving drunk on a narrow road at 87 in a 45 at night. How about some honest contrition for the other citizens he could have killed or maimed. So many of his ilk , status, and celebrity think they are above our laws and consideration for the welfare of "the great unwashed" Mel should make an autobiographical movie - what a story!!

87. To Me Mel Gibson was one of those white actors that got built up, Hollywood tried to build him up and convience everyone that he is so handsome like they did with Marilyn Monroe (she was pretty though) Mel was never my favorite he's an actor I felt was pushed on me. I would have preferred to see Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, and Johnny Depp.

88. So is there a 12-step program to recover from anti-semitism?

90. First, thanks Gary for picking up on the fact that Gibson's neighbor is pissed that his rich, famous neighbor didn't use his treatment center!

Also, give Jon a break Sam, I think it was an attempt at humor.

Wonderful and sincere, Mary, thank you.

Gibson is one of our most beloved and worshiped movie stars, who is aging and has a lot of money and power. Anyone could bend under that. Also not condoning, just saying. Have to admit, I would love to see that video that the offficers made of him calling the lady cop "sugar t*ts!"

I hope this doesn't hurt his box office as much as Crazy Cruise has hurt his.
I really want to see a Lethal Weopon 5!
