Leave Mel Gibson alone.

I just don't understand why whey won't keep their private lives private.  I would be so happy to never hear from him or any other Hollywood type again.  99% of the time the acting ability of any given Hollywood actor is the only thing admirable about them.

They are imperfect human beings just like the rest of us. Money and fame do not impart infallibility upon anyone, not just the denizens of Hollywood.

[Sharlee]

You're right, they're only human, but if you were to take a cross-section of Hollywood types and compare it with a cross-section of the rest of society I expect you'd find a significantly higher rate of drug/alcohol abuse, marital breakdown, etc.

I wouldn't want to live in a fishbowl and I'm sure it places an added strain on them.  I'm just tired of hearing about them.  Why can't I watch a movie and know absolutely nothing about the people who starred in it?

My other gripe is that actors keep giving political opinions, which isn't surprising in itself, but there are people who actually believe their opinion has some weight just because they've starred in some A-list movie!  I find that a great many of those people are unable to come up with an original thought and merely parrot whatever the politically correct opinion of the day is.  It's dangerous when there are so many young people who admire the brainless and hang on their every word.

Your words speak for you, no point arguing we are not blind! Give it up.
You have your opinions and that is all they are "your opinions"

i'm not sure what you mean exactly. my fav sister-in-law is a german jew. you know i'm trying to court  and i am writing a song to an asian canadian gal. neither one of these two people whine about how tough it is to not be white. they are both honest, hard working people and i wish more canadians were like them.
political corectness is really just a plan to stop anyone from pointing out the bad points and wrong doings of nonwhite people. if i was saying those same things about a white person, you wouldn't have used any 'ism' terms. what a pile of double standard crap!
