Mel Gibson Has Serious Problems

Yep. But one's own foolishness. I would never say the sort of stuff Gibson said, even if I was roaring drunk, because I don't think Jews are responsible for all wars.

You been "imbibing"?

American Jews have a powerful cultural narrative that seemingly speaks on their behalf. According to this narrative, Eastern European Jewish immigrants built the film industry in the first decade of this century and dominated it by the second. As opposed to determining a particularly Jewish vision of America, Steven Alan Carr argues that this way of looking at Jews in Hollywood emanates from a particularly American vision of Jews. Like the Jewish Question of the 19th century--which fretted over the full participation of Jews within public life--the Hollywood Question of the 1920s, 30s and 40s fretted over Jewish participation within the mass media. As a whole way of thinking and talking about both Jews and motion pictures, Hollywood and Anti-Semitism reveals a powerful set of assumptions concerning ethnicity, intent and media influence. Steven Alan Carr is an Assistant Professor of Communication at Indiana University-Purdue University, Fort Wayne.

Groucho Marx had a field day with a Hollywood country club that wouldn't let his kid in their pool because he was Jewish. "He's only half Jewish; can he go in up to his waist?"

He later laughed it off, saying that he wouldn't dream of belonging to any club that would have him as a member.

I have a saying: "From ancient civilizations come many sayings that aren't necessarily the truth."

 

You are way too kind. It's blasphemy. My bible says wine is a mocker. Perhaps, along with the Genesis account of creation, we should now throw away the Proverbs.

People should have told the Romans that drunken orgies can rarely last more than a few days.
