Rest in Peace Heath

I found this article of FOXNews.com... I think Mel Gibson is really a big hypocrite if you ask me. And the problem is, I still like his older movies and he used to be one of my favorite actors. But ever since he did The Passion of the Christ (very good movie btw) he became all... weird.

I'm not entirely certain about any news sources from Foxnews, when it comes right down to celebrity news I tend to stick with sources like TMZ and E!. Especially since if this had been reported prior to Heath's death, it might have actually had a bit of believe-ability. Because we all know that Mel isn't one to silence himself about something he may be against

Very true that they are just movies, I couldn't agree more. My point there was that if Mel did say those things or feel that way, he was being a hypocrite because you can't cut someone down or turn on them for taking a homosexual role when you have previously taken roles showing other sins.

Granted, the homosexuality was acting, it was a movie. But the point is, real or not, if you can "pretend" to shoot someone in the face (thru a pillow) with a gun, and that's "ok" but someone can't "pretend" to be gay.... come on now.

All very good points. I think my thing though, is that I think the story is a load of crock. Mainly because if Mel was so against homosexuals and Heath's portraying a homosexual character, wouldn't they have been included in drunken rant? That's just my thinking though

Society does suck.

Ducky and I have talked about homosexuality before, and she told me that one day "you'll have your freedom." That was in response to seeing something about racism and segregation.

If you think about it, homosexuality is much like racism. It's ignorance and close-mindedness over stupid things. But much like blacks/Jews have fought (and are still fighting) against persecution, so too are homosexuals. And one day, everything will be more openly accepted.

I still like Mel, I think he's just gotten a little strange since Passion of the Christ. And if he did say those things, while I still appreciate his acting, he's pissed me off.

The amount of ignorance, not only to homosexuality but other things as well (one of my current things that's been pissing me off to no end is the idea that alcohol is required for a good time... :/ and things of that nature as well), has been steadily on the rise. And I think that is due to children being raised by televisions and parents being afraid of their kids going wild so they forbid it, which, y'know makes kids want it more(at least in terms of the ignorance towards alcohol).

Everyone's gotten crazy. Britney Spears for example used to be relatively normal--she was dating Justin Timberlake and then WHAM it seems overnight she went from being cute pop princess to white trash mother of two that can't get her partying under control.

I just do the, well, I like old movies (or music, depending on the person in question) and I'm not going to burn/trash the movies/cds and I'm not going to stop watching/listening to them because I still like them, but I sure as HELL ain't going to support that person in the future. *L*
