This whole situation is so retarded.
Ok, first of all, he gets pulled over for speeding. Then makes anti-Jewish comments, tries to escape, all kinds of stuff. Look it up if you haven't heard.
And he did all this with a blood alcohol level of .12%. That's like 3 beers, people. It takes just three beers for him to become a raving lunatic. Further, he says he's "fought alcoholism his whole life".
Ok fine, he's an experienced drinker.... so then 3 beers for him is like 1 Odouls for me, right? How's that any better?
Further, all of Hollywood is now out to get him. How does THAT make sense? Hollywood stars and directors do worse stuff all the time. Hell, they put worse stuff on TV all the time. Here's a timely headline from FARK.COM:
Mel Gibson might be ostricized by those in Hollywood for his actions. If he had just drugged and raped a 13-year old girl or married his ex's daughter like a normal director he'd be fine
They're refering to Roman Polanski and Woody Allen, btw
Further more, I just can't stand it when a well-known Christian does this kind of crap and make us all look bad. If you're going to get publicly religious and in everybody's face about it, then you better have your life together, AT THE VERY LEAST.
Thanks for listening to my rant.

Oh well. He can do whatever he wants, say whatever he wants, I couldnt give a @!#$ less.
As long as he still makes badass movies im a happy camper
He's just another blow hard Hollywood star. I don't think it's any differant then any of the other stuff these people do. So he hates Jews. OK, he's an idiot. He got a DUI. OK, I know a lot of people who have gotten them, it happens. Not that it's ok, but he is human. So, he hit on a cop while he was drunk. I've done worse when I was drinking. I don't think this is front page news. Just cause he was Mad Max doesn't make him any differant then anyone else.
And, before anyone adds this, I know it's front page news because he's Mel Gibson. People hear his name and want to pay for the paper or turn on the news. I just don't personally think it should be given any more attention then if it happened to Jackalope. Ya' know what I'm saying?
He's going to go to the Betty Ford clinic for a few days or weeks and he will have some big emotional comeback and even probably write a book. Everyone will aplaud his bravery for being so open with it and for getting back in the movies. All the while he is doing the exact same thing he was doing before. It will happen. Mark my words.

P.S. - Terry, I was just using you as an example and know you wouldn't take it the wrong way.

You'd pay more attention to it because Jackalope wouldn't have left it at the anti-semitic remarks, nah.... blacks, asians, east indians, russians, and polka music would have been slurred.
When I read about that this morning, I though Mel needs the WWCoW, he was REALLY acting like a drunk ass-hole. The drunk bit, I won't bother with because some people need alcohol to be remotely interesting... The ass-hole bit, he can get better by just apologising and taking whatever slap on the wrist the judge assigns him.

^^agree completely. A "hostile drunken paranoid anti-semi" isn't the label you want when you're in the public eye.

I agree with everyone else here, the media has blown it up... but what else did you expect??
I for one, thought the situation was @!#$ hilarious when I first heard it... he basically just acted out the entie South Park episode "The Passion of the Jew".
Seriously, you can't write this stuff.
"i promise we won't get drunk, and go out in boat in the dark, stand up in the boat and fire the gun into the air unless we have life jackets on."
everyone is blowing this otu of proportion because hes been working on a new "epic"
and with the controversy the last one caused everyone is getting all antsi.

Actually to clarify: One beer/alcoholic beverage represents .015% so by that rationale three beers would only equate to .045% (half of the "legal limit"). You also have to figure in that your body, on average, will expel .015% hourly (or one beer per hour). His BAC of .12% represents slamming eight beers in forty five minutes to an hour...then hitting the road. Chances are that he had consumed far more in a longer period of time. There are many variables in this equation...but for conversation sake it'll do.

Your shadow in the morning striding behind you

I went to a few sites to reinvestigate. I got 6 beers in an hour. Still not close enough to be a friggin lunatic.

I spent 40 hours in a classroom to obtain a Class III operator status for the Datamaster; funny thing is that the instrument's operation is painfully simple. The thing is that 38 of those hours was spent on understanding the theory and physiological aspects of alcohols effects on the human body for courtroom testimony.
If you want to believe a website over an operator...ok.

if any of y'all listen to country the song celebrity by brad pasly comes to mind with this but yeah it was blown way out of porportion
Fat guys, in general, hold their liquor better. Not because that the alcohol gets dispersed along a bigger body, as is commanly believed, but because the fat absorbs the alcohol before it gets to the brain. It's true. I'm a nurse.

Were there any field trips to bars for this class? And what exactly was the homework?
