You should give it up. You lose a little more credibility with each bone headed statement. :smile: I equate political threads the same way I do the funny papers. :smile:
You should give it up. Your last sentence makes no sense. I'll give the name of a good elementary school teacher, if you want.

Just to swing a little closer to the topic:

This Oksana babe had a baby with another aging celebrity; Timothy Dalton. He didn't marry her either.

This whole "hang Mel Gibson" party is getting a little old. Oksana Grigorieva is little more than a prostitute. She's been caught in so many lies it's ridiculous. On one hand she says she doesn't want Gibson's money and then she says 15 million is not enough.

Bob Barker was right. Always have your pets spayed or neutered. Gees. What's with the apes these days? Devolution? Brain plaque from fatty acids? Fluoride? Petroleum sourced organic compunds? Too much tofu?

Yes, it's true that Mel is a perfect gentleman, and never was abusive or nasty, never drunk and racist, all that was made up by some horrible woman prosituting herself for fame and glory.

I take back anything I might have said that would have tarnished Mel's reputation as a pleasant, gentle person.

You know, my only point, if I had one, was that Gibson wasn't the only guilty party. Grigorieva has been living off
older, wealthy men since she was a teenager. This doesn't mean that Gibson wasn't a complete blockhead. I'm amazed that he has managed to hang on to his money as long as he has.

There is an old saying that goes : "You can't turn a w*hore into a housewife."

It has it's validity from time to time.

I doubt Mel ever heard that one growing up in an Australian Jesuit school.

Hey # Juan- there are always those who denigrate people who are successful - let them yap away, it fills a void in their own lives. I don't think anyone ever thought Mel Gibson was the Pope. :lol:

Hey, watch the namecalling, or you'll have JLM to answer to.

Probably not. But he did have a housewife at home who raised seven of his kids. She got $450 million dollars. That is
about fifty million per kid.

Morning Early Bird Juan!!! Gibon appears to be unravelling and because he has such a large personality and talent (whether blessed or damned) - it may be his undoing.

Often creative people (musicians, artists, actors) have a strange brain which enables them to be great artists in their particular fields, however it carries an imbalance as well which we "normal mortals" seem to
be able to avoid for much of our lives.

I would opt for boring and bland than what happens to a great personality who devolves into a drooler drunk who probably needs to wear adult diapers in later years.

Life always has its payoffs and paybacks. Sorry I sound cruel but there is some kind of karmic balance sheet out there - who created it I don't know - everyone has their own belief system but mankind seems to be
one whoop experiment in animal life.

All we can hope for is stability and knowing what expectations will be met eventually. Fortunately for many of us we haven't had to wake up to war in our neighborhoods - we in North America have been blessed.

Meanwhile I enjoy being boring and knowing I can live and relive almost repetitive days until it is my time to leave.

For example: Saturday always holds a special good feeling for me - if that's "normal" I'll take it!!! Have a good one yourself!



What she said!! Good one Curiosity.

That being said, I can't predict WHEN the neighbourhood wars will start.

:pirate:......hope that wasn't too far off topic.
