Mel Gibson-Thoughts?

oh my…

What the hell has this thread become!? “Edge of Darkness” was pretty good. Just got done watching it. Mel played a really nice guy in that movie. There’s no way he would say the things on those tapes. I think he’s being framed. Sometimes things don’t look the way they really are.

Mel Gibson offends every racial group with his words and he is now a hollywood pariah (sp?)
Roman Polanski but rapes a 13 year old girl, escapes justice and keeps making movies.

We need a little perspective here.[/quote]

What does that mean?

It means both are wrong, not that one is so wrong it makes the other right.

roast them both on a spit for all I care

I just making the point that the same people that condemn Mel Gibson for his words are the same people gush all over Polanski even after what he actually DID, hence the word perspective.

They’re both obviously douchebags, But one of them needs to be extradited and prosecuted.

He punched her teeth out. What part of that fact DOESN’T show that he’s an ass, and an out-of-control cowardly pussy?

I don’t care what the circumstances are, there’s NOTHING that would ever make me punch a woman.

We do. Its bullshit really but double standards is never going away. (Btw,he has only offended Jews,Blacks,Hispanics,and Women. He hasnt said anything about Asians or other whites so thats cool I guess)

While I agree with the first point, there are circumstances that - although 99% of men won’t be in - would need some form of attack to protect yourself from a woman.

What if she was legitimately beating the crap out of you with a bat or something, trying to kill you?

If you can’t wrestle a bat from a woman, unless she unexpectadly attacks you, without cracking her in the mouth you really need to evaluate your fighting abilities.

The only plausible situation that I could imagine where I would even CONSIDER punching a girl in the face is if a group of girls, maybe 8 or more, were beating the crap out of my sister of girl friend or some other female family member and I was seriously concerned for their safety. In that case there would be too many girls to try to wrestle off, and I would definitely be willing to crack a female in the mouth if she were trying to hurt someone I cared about.

Aside from that, no, even if a female has a bat I’m confident I could get it from her without punching her.

Now Mel Gibson punched his wife while she was holding her daughter… Unless she had a knife to his daughter threatening to kill her there is almost no other circumstance that would justify knocking her teeth out. He’s a bitch! I think I speak for most tnation when I say, if that were my daughter/ sister who’s teeth he knocked out he’d be drinking thru a fkn straw for the rest of his miserable days.

You know what… Now that I think about it, if Layla Ali attacked someone I cared about I might have to crack her in the mouth. lol I’m sorry but champion level female boxers/ pro fighters have the advantage over 99% of males, so in my eyes when fighting someone like her or China I think I would be at the disadvantage and therefor fight them like I was fighting a man. haha

I miss Martin Riggs.
I miss Mad Max.

Maybe I could, maybe I could not.

However, if she attacks me I am not going to risk it.

Granted, I have not been “attacked” the last 15 years or so, but if someone would, he or she would be very lucky if I do not pick up the next heavy blunt object and bash his or her head in.

No kung fu shit for me, anyone attacking me with a bat gets crushed as quickly and efficiently as I can manage, because I will not risk irreparable damage just to save someone elses bones who obviously could not care less about my safety.

It’s not about kung fu. Punching someone who has a bat is not the most effective way to stop them. If someone has a bat you need to keep a safe distance before you attack, a leaping punch leaves you open to get cracked and KTFO. Tackling her on the other hand is a much safer way to take her down. She’ll be ready to swing like babe ruth, but if you go low and protect your head (maybe even get her to swing an miss once) even if she hits you some of the momentum would be taken off the swing by suddenly having to swing down rather then straight at you as she would be prepared to if you were standing right before the attack, then take her to the ground.

Best way to defend against a bat, IMO. Then again nobody’s ever attacked me with a bat before, so I guess I’m just speculating.

Well put.

I’ve never been attacked by a woman physically, but small unexpected attacks when I’ve been out have left permanent damage (Ie. reduced hearing in my left ear) when some fucker runs up and hits you completely unprovoked and then runs away. If that was a woman, I’m sorry but I’d hit the bitch back.

If you want to be treated like a woman, act like one.

He played a crazy man so well.

Mel’s off the reservation for sure. There is no diplomacy or level headedness about that guy, and his reputation and legacy needs to reflect that from here on out.

He’s a bad guy, all the way around. Race, masogony, all of it.

I do see your point, and somewhat agree that if someone attacks you unprovoked you have every right to defent yourself. But I would say if you want to be respected like a man, act like one. So some girl runs up on you unprovoked and hits you, you decide she’s not acting like a lady and hit her back. The strength a male has, especially one that lifts, especially if they know hot to throw a proper punch, is more than enough to not only knock the female out, but break a jaw, break some teeth, and assuming your standing on concrete she will probably go face first into the pavement and cause even more damage.

So now one punch from you has caused, broken jaw, broken teeth, she got knocked out and face planted into the floor and broke her nose which also resulted in 2 black eyes. She now has her mouth wired shut and is in the hospital to ensure she doesn’t have a concusion or brain damage.
After its all said and done can you honestly say you would feel like a man after that?
Would you feel justified in destroying this girls face because despite beign weaker and slower than you she hit you so you made an example out of her? I for one would feel like a coward.

He may end up pulling the trigger this time. I hope he doesn’t. But I can see it happening. Over 50, no wife, rage issues, and a career in decline.

I’m hungry. I can’t wait for lunch.

Snookie seems to have recovered from her punch to the face lol, in fact she’s thriving!

I joke but I understand what you’re saying. I grew up with four sisters and I wasen’t allowed to hit back ever or else the old man was going to come down hard on me. Even if they were the ones being assholes I couldn’t retaliate.
