Mel Gibson 's racist rant

Your % rates seem to be out by several orders of magintude. By my reckoning, for example. 194,000/228,200,000 is actually 0.085%.

Yes you're correct, wrote it down 'sloppily' and the decimal should be twice removed to the left, indeed.

It specifically states it does not. Nor was your figure for the total population correct. I really don't know what else to say.

ETA: No you are quite correct: I misunderstood that. My apologies

No worries, I often make such blunders (as you can see with the percentages in the above post, I just did). Me thinks I should not calcuate and be playing online games at the same time.

Nationmaster gives the latest figure (not sure what year that is) as 95136

ETA: clearly not the latest figure: seems to refer to 2002: that fits with the general decline reported elsewhere

Rape figures are notoriously unreliable but this is a far cry from the 212000 you seem to be citing. Am I misunderstanding you?

I used the stats in the wiki article on Rape (it uses this report as source, table 42 I think), where I got 194,000 (white victims)/228,200,000(total white population) and 18,000(black victims)/37,600,000(total black population). Naturally, it fluctates, but I recall from past years the discrepencies tend to be more or less concistent.

Fair enough. Perhaps there is something special about the surroundings that I did not grasp. What is it?

Well, it is not equivalent to the total population of the US, demographically speaking.

That is true: but it does not have a particularly high rate of rape compared to other big cities, so far as I can see.
 
The first tape leaked today.
Pathetic.Just Pathetic.
Frankly, neither one comes out like a parent of the year candidate. It's a case of which is the scummist of two scum buckets.
And now we hear that charges of physical assault against Gibson might be pending.

Well, and while this is not exclusive to Los Angeles, I believe California tends to lead the rape and violent crime statistics by numbers. Then again it is the largest state by numbers isn't it? Rape'wise and state'wise, I remember Florida, Michigan, Illinois and Texas to be on comparable levels or worse, proportionately.
 
Mel's agency did dump him for the use of the "N-word". Makes one wonder if the William Morris agency will now take action against other clients?

Selective ‘N-Word’ Outrage: William Morris Agency Dumps Mel Gibson

Let me get this straight — the William Morris Agency has reportedly dropped Mel Gibson as a client because he used the “N-word” in an unhinged privately recorded rant, but William Morris continues to represent the likes of P. Diddy, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, 50 Cent, and many more, who broadcast the same awful word to millions — daily, unabashedly and continually?
Gotta love Hollywood.
Take up a career in Hip-Hop, Mel — the WMA will bring you back on board in a heartbeat.

Non-Black Person Befuddled at Use of N-Word by Blacks! Film at 11.

Snooze.

It's not a moral question on the part of the agent, it's a good business decision.

Indeed, one could claim that the words "moral" and "agent" can never appear in the same sentence unless negation is involved. ;)
 
Well, he certainly shouldn't have hit her. That is not right.


What a douche.
 
The problem Gibson is facing is the same one that Lohan, his main competitiion for "Scrwed up Celeb of the Year" is facing. He has become so notorious for his off screen antics that people find it difficult to forget them when they see him on screen.
It is much less of problem when you are behind the camera, and I would not be surprised if Gibson concnetrates more on his career as a director.

Yeah, he should go back to making religious movies.
 
Wow, this conversation is really beyond sanity. A violent misogynist rant that just goes on and on past the point where most insane people would have stopped.
 
Its' gone from being about Racism to being about Assault and Death Threats.
Nice going, Mel,nice going.
