Mel Gibson has lost his mind

I've never met the guy so i can't say if i like him or not. As far as his work as an actor, i like his movies. I personally don't see what everyones fascination is with actors, athletes, musicians, etc. They're people like us.
 
In Cal it is illegal to tape a private party conversation and that what the lady did; so it will get thrown out of court.


All of us Americans need to remember we have Freedom of Speech in the country and that covers unpopular or nonPC speech.

Mel ruff and crude but he got the right to speak his mind.

There are exemptions to CA PC 631/629/632 when their is a crime being committed. The laws on recording in CA have changed a multiple amount of times to accommodate federal laws but there won't be or have there been mention of the recordings being allowed in court. The investigating agency will still have to subpoena for the recordings if they are not voluntarily given to them.

He has the right to say whatever he wants, but he's still an a-hole.

Leaving aside the fact that he's a complete jerk with a screw loose, let's also not forget that just because one has the right to say something doesn't mean one should say it. Just because racist diatribes are "nonPC" doesn't make people who engage in them heroes of free speech.

She taped it for divorce court where it would still be admissible as proof of his abusiveness.


Should also note that there is no "freedom of speech" to say whatever you want, whenever and wherever you want. Don't believe me? Go to a street corner in your downtown core at rushhour and scream n**ger, n**ger, n**ger at the top of your lungs and watch how fast you get arrested for disturbing the peace.


"Freedom of Speech" as a constitutional right is the ability to speak out against government without fear of reprisal.

If I went downtown and screamed that to the top of my lungs. I would probably be glad the cops did show up to arrest me. But I don't think i would be alive when they showed up. lol
 
Growing up, Braveheart was my favorite movie. Because of that, the situation makes me a little sad. Aside from that, I don't give a hoot. The guy is a nutcase and has committed career suicide. He pretty much did himself in when he made the comment about Jews, this will just be the coup de grace. I'm sure he's fine financially.

Like OJ Simpson, he always seemed to me to be an agreeable, nice guy. And maybe sometimes he is. Just goes to show you that celebrities, like everyone else, are complete people and what you see isn't necessarily the whole picture.

Here we have a fun headline:

Well-spoken! :thumbup1:
 
Two days ago, I saw a vehicle that would haul that tanker. You want to get out of here? You talk to me.
 
I took Economics 101 about 10 years ago. The textbook used the following sentence to illustrate the principle that attractive people make more money than average looking people:

"Mel Gipson is a handsome man."

That example puts far too much weight on the concept of laws being thoroughly understood and correctly enforced by those who do the arresting.
 
I forsee another trip to rehab for Mel

What kind of rehab? :lol: How many types of rehab would this take?

This seems more in the nature of one flew over the cukoo's nest. Do I hear a cukoo somewhere? Oh, it's Mel, he's a gonner.
