The Real McCoy said:Schwarzenegger is an Aussie too
Well, look what happened the last time an Austrian held public office in a foreign country.:lol:
And Mel Gibson doesn't strike me as a "goofy airhead."

Too many ties to Anti-Semitism.

When Martin Scorsese came out with his film, "The Last Temptation of Christ" back in the 1980's, many Christian groups opposed it. But the liberals, atheists, and non-Christian religious groups seemed to have no problem with it whatsoever and said it was Scorsese's freedom of speech, blah, blah, blah, etc.
Every single time a film or television program comes out that portrays Christianity in a derrogatory, slanderous, and intolerant way, the non-Christian religious groups and the atheists seem to embrace it as a freedom of speech issue. They also embrace our pornographers as kind and righteous people who are just practicing their freedom of speech, blah, blah, blah. Why isn't it the same about Christians? Who cares if South Park, for example, is ever intolerant towards Christianity, right? It's just comedy; it's just their freedom of speech.
But God forbid if a Christian like Mel Gibson should come out with a Christian movie. He's instantly labeled anti-semetic, racist, crazy, hateful, self serving, etc.
Isn't it funny how the mainstream media, atheists, and the liberal opinion leaders in this country never put the same label on content that is derrogatory towards Christians?
What I mean is, there are labels like, "anti-semetic," "anti-secular," "anti-women," "homophobic," "bigoted," "racist," etc, attatched to Christians but these same labels are never attatched to non-Christians for producing content which is counter offensive.
How's come when Scorsese made his film, nobody said he was, "anti-Christian?" How's come when Howard Stern or any one of the dozen other non-Christians in the media bash Christianity, it's never anti-Christian and always just a common freedom of speech issue?
Why is Mel's film and in particular other Christian pieces of art not viewed in as high regard as films which portray counter Christian values? Mel was completely snubbed the so called, "Hollywood Elite" when it came to Oscar time. And yet those very same people would hand out academy awards to films that portray homosexuality, adultery, violence, rape, murder, etc. Why is this stuff considered art but Christian values are not? Hmm?
(To my friends who are homosexual on this forum: I'm not neccessarily saying that it's wrong to put homosexuality or these things in a film. I'm just bringing up my belief that these things are considered art but yet the portrayal of Christian values in this country are not.)
I find it absolutely absurd that people would put Mel Gibson in a lower light just because of that one film he made. We all might have different opinions on this film but Mel is a good family man who has never cheated on his wife and I think he deserves much more credit than we are giving him.
Caine said:Umm.. My answer had absolutely nothing to do with the Film, which I assume your speaking of, called The Passion of the Christ..... if anything, they beat that poor guy to a pulp, but thats what happens when you exclaim your the son of god, which is idolatry....anyways....
I understand he is making a mini-series about a Jewish man during the Holocaust, but his father's view has me curious
