Very Interesting. And Gibson's father is an out and out Abti-Semite and a VERY outspoken Holacaust denier. He is more than an just an 'odd duck'...He is a dangerous man, in every way---Pretty Crazy, in fact.<br /><br />Here is the link to Fraank Rich' Editorial:<br />nytimes.com/2010/07/18/opinion/18rich.html?th&emc=thOldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453225790730931112.post-4045397176667171712010-07-17T19:07:04.641-04:002010-07-17T19:07:04.641-04:00OL, I remember hearing about his father, his anti-...OL, I remember hearing about his father, his anti-Semitic rant, and even his "unusual" views on Christianity. He's an odd character all round and I believe alcohol over time can damage the brain. But when I look back to even his early interviews, he's just a little off, his language, his movements, his comments. I wonder if he's had a mental illness all along and the alcohol has so damaged his brain over the years, that he can no longer disguise his psychosis.VVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751403913379728345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453225790730931112.post-76353231721756949252010-07-17T02:33:04.936-04:002010-07-17T02:33:04.936-04:00I have never been a big Mel Gibson fan as an actor...I have never been a big Mel Gibson fan as an actor or as a man. His 2006 remarks when he was stopped for drunk driving in Malibu, are not "alleged". He said the things he did about The Jews. His father is a known Holacaust denier, and Mel G. has alluded to these things himself. I have no idea if something else is going on with him but I believe it is pretty well documented that he abuses Alcohol, and has been drinking heavly for years...These things do get worse as time goes on and the behavior gets more and more abusive--verbally and physically--more and more out of control. I think he needs help. A lot of help. But whether he will get it or not is up to him, I think...If indeed there is more going on here than alcohol, then I believe that would be descerned IF he got the help he needs.OldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453225790730931112.post-63018398417211845102010-07-14T09:34:18.927-04:002010-07-14T09:34:18.927-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.jimhttp://samrtbargainsusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453225790730931112.post-25546097311790259572010-07-12T20:29:54.177-04:002010-07-12T20:29:54.177-04:00I have always liked his acting, I was sorry to see...I have always liked his acting, I was sorry to see him split up with his first wife and family, but bipolar would explain some of it and if he is why is he still drinking? bipolar meds and alcohol are not good to mix.<br />wish I had the sound fixed on my computer I would have loved listening to the interviews... will be getting a bunch of pictures ready for you in August send me a list of wants and desires and I will do my best to fullfill them !

I agree, I think he's bi-polar, and probably has been his whole life, but why is he so much more crazy in public now? Did his wife help him control his worse nature? Now that she's out of the picture, is there no voice of reason? That might be it, but I'm still leaning toward something more being wrong with him.VVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751403913379728345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453225790730931112.post-15172753425475406952010-07-12T17:18:22.519-04:002010-07-12T17:18:22.519-04:00Mel is Bipolar and self medicating with alcohol.
