was one of the news last week, and still not be silenced: a day Mel Gibson was taken to the water in the vase, grabbed his car and headed to 160 kmph in Malibu in Lexus until it stopped. As he set fire to the spirometer to breathe only by, Gibson apparently was dispatched on " fucking Jews" saying that "Jews start all wars." In fact more detailed chronicles say that in addition to those comments about Jews, Gibson also made sexist comments and claimed to be "the owner of Malibu." That is, a classic drunken speech of someone who took a bottle of tequila and a frog prince transmuted unpresentable, as often happens with the Mexican brew. But only the first part of his drunken ramblings were taken into account, perhaps because one of the policemen who stopped him, and apparently that was the rant-was Jewish. Immediately everyone in Hollywood and the U.S. felt he had something to say about it and one of those things to do. After the incident ABC apparently canceled a miniseries about the Holocaust that Gibson would direct. There is no chance this was one of his outstanding work, your version of the martyrdom of Jesus The Passion of Christ, had put him in a dubious position on this issue and the role of Orthodox Jews (Jesus was a Jew, do not forget this detail) in the movie was not very favorable, so a mini-series the Holocaust should be a good way of reconciliation, and the way to differentiate with his father, a Christian fanatic who does not believe that the Holocaust took place.
In any case it is an issue that has been around a long time Gibson, so it is not surprising that alcohol disinhibited, you say such things occurred. But a public statement after the incident made appeals to the perplexity. Gibson says: " am in the process of understanding where those comments came during my display malicious drunk, and I ask the Jewish community, whom I have personally offended, it helps me on my journey to recovery. Again, I ask for a hand Jewish community. I know that there will be many in this community who do not want help, and understandably so. But I pray that that door is not closed forever. "
has not had much luck in his order: more than one representative and some actors (such as Rob Schneider ) have stated that they want to know anything of Australian presenter Barbara Walters said " do not think you want to see another Mel Gibson film , "Sen. Tom McClintock -that had as its most notable supporter, has publicly rejected his former support and publicist Andy Behrman has led a sort of campaign boycott of the director and his work arguing that wishes to make clear that "anti-Semitism is not well in Hollywood or anywhere else .
Interestingly most allied insuceso Gibson is the same that got in him the bottle. Gibson went immediately into a rehabilitation clinic and their supporters, some of the Jewish community as Jodie Foster or producer Dean Devlin quickly jumped to clarify that the Australian is a charming person but that is the drink that makes you say nonsense. Particularly Devlin said: " is an alcoholic, and not justify what he said, because there is no excuse for that, was the disease speaking, not the person ." Not a bad excuse, American culture is very tolerant of fall-as long as Christian and can be "reborn" after them, and do not forget to have a reformed alcoholic at the wheel of the White House. Now, Devlin would have to tell that a disease that makes your clothes, buy a few liters of tequila, drive your car through Malibu and manipulate your pasty language to insult an entire ethnic group is tremendous illness and must be produced by such a virus or bacteria.
These are the facts, now, how long what a drunk is more famous, "he mumbles incoherently to another person, in this case to the police, is debated and persecution?
I am not of those who believe in the excuse of drunkenness. I think the difference between what one does in fart and what you do sober is minimal: if you become a beast to drink irresponsibly, then the moment of accountability is the moment you decided to do it. But I also believe that within the drunkenness there are shades of apology. Ie, there are things that would not be of all admissible when sober but they are if you took a liter of gin Old Drunk. It is part of the game that Westerners seek disinhibition in alcohol and has been part of human behavior from that John Pithecanthropus is fermented the grapes he had left above the skull of a mammoth. And he who rejects a priori is a fucking Muslim, a monotheist in search of followers or a bitter end.
But, there is little problem the old laws by which they end up with far the worst and not the best, where is the boundary between permissible and what is not? (Within the protocols drunk, of course). It is difficult because each human group, and everyone-has a far different and the border generally is measured in degrees: it is permissible to say to your girlfriend who is not upset that button when you get home smelling tavern with an Irish walking cap as WC Fields, is inadmissible also bring lipstick marks around the penis. It is permissible that one comes to mind to give his radical views on several things that afflict the world, is not permissible to confess your permanent contempt toward your partner and all their opinions, and thus may give a thousand examples. The only measuring sticks are common sense and the relationship specific to be made with third parties.
Of course I'm not talking about drunk socially dangerous, if the drunk that blew is firing a pistol into the sky while declaring his hatred for humanity, punishable border excess is much clearer. Or is staggered to 160 for Malibu, as the good Mel, who has been sentenced to three years probation for driving in that state, and the obligation to attend Alcoholics Anonymous (which completely disables the proposed AA , which depends on the willingness of the alcoholic, so coerced attendance becomes meaningless, but that's another matter.)
(For me the dangerous driving while intoxicated is a crime and run over someone in that state is the same as pointed out by the street and lift as if you were playing Carmaggedon . But I also believe that there are no crimes "in power" and that the logic of preventive punishment is worthy of fascists. I mean, I agree that you remove the driver's license permanently contramano who come to the promenade and then fails to make four (or the two), but I think the state has no right to refer to a spirometer no one in "routine checks", ie anyone who has not infrigido a traffic law. There biologies and different strengths, which the dictators of health should be clear).
Mel Gibson is a complex type, possibly sympathetic to the extremism of the Christian right, but with the world enough to be a bit more articulate than the average American Republicans (likes, or says she likes the work Michael Moore's ). Either way Gibson has explicitly endorsed at least dubious causes as the death penalty or re-election of George W. Bush. It has also ventured into the field of irrational cruelty, criticizing stem cell research and euthanasia condemning Terry Schiavo, the woman completely paralyzed that he had as the only act worth dying and that garbage religious country that tortured for years by keeping it alive despite her condition irreversible. Not to mention The Passion of Christ and all that implies. That is, not a right livianito Australian.
But none of these views explicit and amplified by all means never annoyed any of the Jews of Hollywood or any of the watchers of political correctness. No, instead a couple of phrases such fart in an area which was made public only through coercion, but that could be considered private, remember that Gibson is arrested for a couple of policemen and-mouth there will not be put shouting their views through the party she had attended before, "makes everything pop and Gibson to become a bete noire.
Gibson does not interest me to give up the ass by drunk chupacirios-but if these two things I'm interested in this whole affair. The first is the automatic corporatism of much of the Jewish community and instant pursuit of what they consider a demonstration of anti-Semitism-word should be redefined quickly because it seems to be monopolized by the Jewish community, leaving out all other Semitic peoples ", mounted campaigns of persecution (usually presented as" self defense ") snapshots of everything they considered as such. I'll clarify something unnecessarily, to me anyone who believes, for example, people like Robert Zimmerman , Henry Kissinger, Sigmund Freud, Rosa Luxemburg , Pettinati Orlando, Franz Kafka , Arik Sharon , Karl Marx, Lou Reed , Primo Levi, Alberto Bension , Sarah Silverman, Adrian Suar , Richard Hell and Noam Chomsky have some negative characteristics in common ( besides humans) by the descent of their last names, that person is a jerk.
This is so, the pressure to consider all that mass of people as a homogeneous positive for the same circumstances is no less stupid. The support block of Jewish communities around the world to the nation of Israel when it decided to bomb an entire country to punish the abduction of two soldiers, has generated more than a thousand drunken anti-Semitism of celebrities such as Gibson might get if you spend 24 hours . day reading The Protocols of the Elders of Zion with megaphones in Times Square.
Sure, it's tempting to reduce anti-Semitism to the example of a drunken actor and repented. It is tempting because it is a discussion very easy to win, as we are, we include the world's grudge outburst in a crude and indefensible. Finally, it is an issue.
But the second thing that interested me motivated me to write this long post, and something that I mentioned in the same: the end of the day this whole incident is limited to a drunk trying to offend the police what is stopping that is, with powers over one-in every way possible while being detained as a preventive (Gibson, it is known, did not harm anyone.) And the world was reviewing a crime of opinion virtually private . Who subscribes
not believe that the crimes of opinion, although they hold the worst abuses. But there is a difference between something that is said with the intention of insulting a particular person and what is disseminated as propaganda. Frowned and made Gibson mea culpa more exaggerated than I have ever heard in my life (only failed circumcision in public with pliers), when simply should have refused to comment on the subject, which may not remember much.
Yet it seems to be sufficient and even their defenders will renounce the wrong time, or is awarded to the "disease" alcoholic. On the same days of the incident the popular American opinólogos Ann Coulter said that the Israeli response to the abductions had been discreet and they should have leveled south Lebanon from end to end. He said sober and amplified by all means available. Ok, I think it is right to say, as I have the right to say it's a sad fucking ignorant, and as Mel Gibson has the right to say, without being judged rather than the level of privacy "that" Jews start all wars "in a private conversation without that transcends and, above all, not everyone feels entitled to condemn. The wars of identity managed to identify the crimes and verbal descriptions overestimate the power of words to turn them into objects and forbidden speech such as a tumor grows silent, and the language police never sleep.
Finally, several thousand characters that I hesitate to say simply that there is something fucked up when a drunken insults a policeman and the world closes ranks behind the blue. Because, as the small sign above, sometimes you have to tell you how you feel man.
