Even if she is the biggest gold digger in the world it doesn’t really matter. It’s Mel on those tapes saying, nigger, wetback, cunt and putting people in rose bushes. Oh and smile and BLOOOOOOOW me. He’s a fuckwit of the highest order. She may be as well but that doesn’t change what Mel is. ---

(Damn editing time limit!) I think one of the major problems in our society is that any time a woman is abused, if she’s not a “pure-as-the-driven-snow” saint, then she completely deserved what she got. It’s absolutely disgusting. I don’t care WHAT Oksana is, she’s a victim of abuse, and she didn’t deserve what happened to her. EVER. She shouldn’t have to prove she’s a saint for people to believe her. **jtgain** , so you honestly wouldn’t say a word about a man who’s a millionaire just paying the bare minimum of child support while he’s out gallivanting off to big time parties and living a lavish lifestyle? You don’t think he should share that with his own child? :dubious: ---

> [@jtgain](#): > > And it gets better. Once Mel Gibson (as an example) pays that 30 grand a month to his ex-girlfriend, there is no legal requirement that SHE use the money to care for the child. She could provide the bare minimum for the child and use the rest to party on weekends while she hires a nanny to watch the kid. Are you suggesting that this money goes to the child somehow? Why doesn’t the law demand an accounting of this support to ensure that it goes to the child? I am not a family lawyer, but I am pretty damn certain that the payer of the child support can demand an accounting of the support to ensure that it goes for the child’s benefit. Now, child’s benefit is broader than some here (who seem to view the aim of the process as being to punish their ex rather than support their child) would have you believe. A court probably won’t see it in the interest of the child that the custodial parent is forced to only repair the roof over the child’s bedroom, leaving the parent’s bedroom full of leaks, and that the child should be well fed while the custodial parent must survive off trash pickings… ---

Is the child housed, fed, and clothed? Then obviously money went to those things. ---

Man, what an odd coincidence! He deleted it? Priceless! What a shitbag. First he dishes out childish insults based on looks then, when called out for being not so hot himself, he lies about it not being his page. Less than 24 hours later he deletes the page. Good stuff.
