If you still aren't sure who to vote for, here is another option. This isn't serious politics so i decided to put it here in Home Base. An Arizona dentist wants you to write in your vote on Nov 2.

Ahhh, more "good" news from WorldNetDaily. Scary shit.

Doesn't Mel Gibson have like 16 kids? I can see his first move in office to try to outlaw both abortion AND birth control.

Clodfobble · 09-02-2004, 06:32 PM

Dude, wasn't he born in Australia? He can't be President.

Trilby · 09-02-2004, 06:34 PM

Mel was born in the US--the family emigrated to Aussie-land when Vietnam broke out. Mel's dad was dead set against the draft.

rest assured mel isn't going to be president, as he doesn't even want it. but way to jump the gun and condemn him for actions you don't even know if he supports. he is proud of his christian faith.... KILL HIM!!!

I'm not jumping the gun on anything. From what I understand, Mel Gibson is a strict practicing Catholic. I know for a fact that he is vehemently against abortion, and if he follows the doctrine of the Catholic Church, he would also therefore be against any form of "unnatural" birth control.

If he's "proud of his Christian faith" I hope he will do something "Christian" with the $200 million plus that he made from his "Passion of the Christ" movie....I don't know, like maybe give most of it away to the less fortunate.

He is not what most would consider Catholic - the sect he and his father belong to consider the mainstream Catholic organization to be heretics.

Trilby · 09-02-2004, 10:04 PM

i beg to differ. A lot of the mainstream Catholics in my region think Mel is "right On" with his artistic vision--and I live in the heartland, swing-state. There are a boatload of devout Catholics in Ohio. We're not all Baptist!

Regardless, they still abide by basically the same tenets as "mainstream" Catholicism, correct? I'm guessing his sect (or whatever you want to call it) isn't pro-choice....

lookout123 · 09-02-2004, 10:47 PM

itis amazing to me that if an individual is a pro-life, anti-abortion type it doesn't matter what else he believes...

wolf · 09-02-2004, 10:52 PM

I was going to add that I have a great deal of respect for anybody who shows not just strong conviction to, but also practices the tenets of his/her faith.

The Catholic sect that Gibson belongs to celebrates the Mass in Latin. They are Hard Core in Catholic Terms.

Did I say it doesn't matter what else he believes?

No, all I said was that if he were to be elected to office that he would probably try to outlaw abortion. Perhaps since you are the expert on his Mel Gibson's personal and political beliefs you can enlighten us all as to what they are. Not that I care that much, but go right ahead and tell us anyway.

I agree. That's great, just as long as those with such religious beliefs who hold public office do not try to force their beliefs down everyone else's throat.

There is a difference between "expressing them" and "forcing them down" people's throats.

Freedom OF, not freedom FROM religion.
