17. I can't believe Mel was that wasted with a blood alcohol level of .12. I'd be willing to bet some kind of drugs had to be involved also. If he is a alcoholic a .12 level is next to nothing. That's like 3 or 4 beers in a hour. The only way to explain his behavior would be the combination of alcohol & drugs.

18. Idiotic posters Benjamin and John = the ghosts of Hitler and Eva Braun.

19. "Let the man drink and have a good time" - yeah, I'm sure his wife and kids feel that way.

Obviously you've never been humiliated by an alcoholic's behavior. It's not a good feeling. I hope he gets help. His comments were shameful, but at least he admits making them.

20. I feel sorry for Mel's addictions. We are all only human and weak and need help overcoming bad habits, thoughts and addictions. I can only hope he gets help with his as I would pray we all get the help we need when we need it.

21. I aggree with post #2 by d. Why didn't someone ask for his keys, or take them away? Call him a cab? He was a total train wreck that DID happen. He's very lucky that he didn't kill anyone or himself.

I'm very happy that he's taken control of the situation by apologizing, asking for forgiveness, and addressing his alcoholism. I think he'll recover from this fiasco, but not anytime soon.

22. Benjamin and John are you both that uneducated that you think anti-semetic remarks are ok? how sad for you to have been brought up with such small minded incorrect views, especially given your government--the US is causing a lot more strife in the Middle East then the Israelis. How come you don't mention them? the US has caused more wars than any other country. Blame somoene closer to home, fools.

23. He said he was sorry - but I'll bet my last buck that's not good enough for those he offended. I think we can pretty much understand how a little booze could set off someone as passionate and spiritual as Mel.

I can also understand his mindset regarding the last few weeks in Lebanon at the hands (and bombs) of Israel. As a primarily Jewish state, Israel is ever ready to take on those who the Israelies feel a threat to them. I was shocked as well about their attack on Lebanon, considering everything else that is happening in that part of the world. I talk about politics with a lot of people everyday and there are many who feel that Jews bring the hatred for them on themselves because of their aggressive nature even though they would like all to believe that they are a peaceful breed of human. Not so - if you look at Lebanon today.

So our Mel had a little too much to drink, which seems to have brought the crazy out in him and also might have caused him to become just a bit too vociferous regarding things out of his control and he blamed those he feels are responsible.

I don't see anything wrong with voicing one's opinion. And we have a first amendment to our constitution for just that. So please don't bombard me for my conjecture about Mel. We need to defend the right to speak our minds even if we are not in our right mind at the time.

Be patient Mel, this too shall pass.

24. 45 U.S. soldiers were killed in July. Can we keep our eye on the ball, friends?

25. I don't know how anybody can sympathize with Mel. I'm no saint, but I'm smart enough not to go 87 in a 45 if I've had a couple of beers. Going that fast is dangerous with or without alcohol. He has all this money and can't have a driver pick him up. Eventually one of these people (Mel, Paris, etc.) is going to kill somebody and wipe out their family's fortune in settlement payments to the victim's family. Maybe that's what it's going to take to make these people realize what they have. I'm not even going to touch the anti-semitic remarks because in my opinion he made them and he'll have to live with them. But it's Mel Gibson so nobody will care and just forget it happened. If he makes another movie it will make 500 million and he'll be laughing back to the bank.

26. Your right anti Bush& Gibson, we should stop giving Israel billions of dollars every year and see how long they last. I have a question: Israel are supposed to be our allies in the middle east, What have they done for us lately or ever, except stir the sh--! over there?

27. Mel Gibson... what to say or think about Mel Gibson?...
The problem with Mel Gibson is that he is a public Figure - a wealthy public figure at that, and moreso, he has made all his wealth in... Hollywood.

Now, given this, the man is an idiot for thinking and speaking such trash... especially at a time where war and turmoil is such a delicate subject in the USA, with Bin Laden and all these guys...

The man MESSED UP... BAD. He is biting the hand that feeds him.
To make anti-jewish statements like that is not only bad in itself, but stupid, and irresponsible. This is like going to the today prosperous city of Miami, where Music (Pitbull, Rick Ross), Modeling (any working Model will tell you she or he normally goes to or does Modeling business in Miami), Celebrities (where do I start? P. Diddy, J. Lo, the Bee-gees, Gloria Estefan, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson are just a few with places in Miami) and International Millionaires reign today, apart from the vibrant, and Financially and Politically powerful local Cubans, not counting the European and South American International trade communities, and saying: Communism rules.

IT is b-a-d. The man messed up - I wonder what will happen, but if I was one of these guys Mr Gibson works with, who happened to be Jewish, I would make him suffer a little bit... so he learns his lesson, and learns it well. Maybe a short-term boycott, or something like this, like Miami does to commys (communists), and critics. People learn when they are disrupted - esp. Financially disrupted.

Jewish people are brilliant, very hard-working people, who for the most part, stay out of crime (troubles), educate themselves well, money themselves well, take great care of their families, incl. financially, and start and run many businesses, albeit successfully. While being like 2% of the population, and making a difference, this is to be much, much admired.

Mr. Gibson and others need to also look at the great strifes and struggles of the Jewish people, and then look at their accomplishments, and contributions to society, before being so quick to judge, and make stupid childish statements.

Hopefully everything will work out. No, I'm not Jewish - I am actually Cuban.
And this is what the Cuban community will tell you about the Jewish people, which Cubans highly admire, have stood behind, and attribute similar experiences, and habits to also. - I am not even speaking just for myself - but on behalf of just a few in the Cuban community here and in Miami.

Mr. Gibson... shame on you.

28. Aloha from Hawaii,
Mel Gibson has only shown that he is just like everyone else...human. He was angry and drunk, although that not an excuse, it is an example of how human he is. There are a number of people every single day across the country that shout racial slurs when being arrested. He said things in a drunken rage that really have no bearing on the true person he is. The fact that he has accepted responsibility for his actions, atonement for his sins, and treatment for his illness speaks volumes for Mel Gibson's character and integrity. People want to destroy a man, his life, discount all he has done over one mistake. It seems for such a forgiving nation we are so ready to strip someone of everything they have accomplished and earned over bad action. Forgiveness, understanding and acceptance of others...if the world ran on those energies perhaps there would not be so much hate and war.
Aloha,
Teresa Lambert
Naalehu, Hawaii

29. Hey Joy - Did you know that six million non-jews were also murdered at the same time - FOR THE SAME REASONS - and not to mention many for helping Jews. Come down off your pedestal. I hope I spelled everything correctly.

30. During World War II -- as now -- it was common for Nazis and fellow supremacists to drink themselves into a raving stupor as they barked their claims of white supremacy. And for a man who believes that Jews control Hollywood, it's interesting to note that Mel immediately told his arresting officer that "I OWN Malibu!" Does this mean that Mel is Jewish? Or that he wants to be? The sad, sick Mel Gibson is no different than any other arrogant, garden variety backwoods terrorist/fascist, with the exception that he's a talented actor and director. You claim to love Jesus and yet "fucking Jews!" is the best you can come up with? Despite the skill of your press agents, Jesus knows a liar when he sees one, Mel.
