Tell It To Tim's Blog

Ahem!!! Hello?!!! Didn't I tell you to LEAVE MEL ALONE?? Do you WANT me to chew through this collar and dig under the fence (again)!? Just because I'm short and long. Don't get me wrong. I will TAKE YO' TIE and hit you in the EYE! I am still pretty spry for a little guy! (Grrrr!)

WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG AND THIS IS YOUR FIRST OR THIRD DRINKING EPISODE, YOU CAN BLAME THE ALCOHOL, BUT MEL GIBSON IS A GROWN MAN. HE HAS JUST GOTTEN PATHETIC IN MY EYES AND I LIKED HIM AND HIS MOVIES...WHAT A WASTE...WHAT A SHAME

why are people making such a big deal out of mels dui? There are so many other important things to use that time for. our last president recieved oral sex under the desk in "our" whitehouse and noone wanted to say how nasty he is..but a dui is using up your attention spans...get a life peeps

Kathy I believe the topic is Celebrities behaving badly. Not Presidents doing the nasty. Now if this blog thing was around at that time I'm sure a lot of us on here, myself included would have made comments (not good) about his behavior. Celebrities anymore are having a big voice in what the public preceives as the "truth" Look at Michael Moore. Then again don't. He didn't or doesn't think Clinton did anything wrong. This isn't just about Mel and a DUI (By the way he could have seriously injured or killed some innocent person) It's about the comments he made and the fact that he's now trying to back track because it could affect his career? It's about celebrities thinking they have the "right" to act any way they like. Thinking they are above the laws as written for the rest of the public. I know celebrities and yes, I have some in my family, and let me tell you they put their pants on one leg at a time as you or I. There "status" does not give them the right to do drugs and or alcohol and get behind the wheel and endanger your life, my life or any other persons life. It does not give them the right to single out a group of people for a personal attack. If a law is broken the penalty should be the same, be it Mel Gibson or Joe Public.

Carved in Stone

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert.
During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE." They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE." The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?"The other friend replied:"When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.But,when someone does something good for us, we must
engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE
YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

Tim, I hear ya about celebs behaving badly. I find most of their "normal" actions and words to be offensive. When they break the law, I say don't cut them any slack.

For the DUI, prosecute according to the law and have a trial. Let the judge or jury decide punishment. Don't give anyone a break because of who they are- celeb or president.

For the hateful comments- its sad he went this direction. Some would say this is what is in his heart. Then again, he was drunk, and he was being arrested, so he might have just been grasping at straws to find some sort of insult. If we are honest, we all have thought bad thoughts when someone of a different race, gender or class offended us- even though we are not normally that sort of person. For this reason, if he asked forgiveness, I would give him a pass this time, and give him a chance to make amends.

TO desariyahmom:

AMEN to that!!!!!
