Re: Penn State Covers Up For a Pedophile: Joe Paterno Repeatedly Lied Under Oath

Forgive the possibly slow pony, but:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sns-rt...816,full.story

Three people came forward to allege they were molested by Sandusky during the 70's and 80's. No details about the allegations other than the police were aware of them. These are the first allegations against Sandusky from that far back.

It's probably wise to take these allegations with a grain of salt. I think the chances are good there will be at least a couple false allegations from people looking to pick up one of the seven figure checks PSU will be handing out.

I don't believe any of that, but it would be the best route to head asplode.

Alternatively: You know who else is good at administering justice ... the justice system.
In my younger days, I would love to pick a fight over that mostly because I just liked arguing with people. However, these zealots have heard all of the arguments and logical opinions against their faith and still believe in it anyway. Arguing with people over that is like teaching blind people how to see.

As much as I'd like to nuke this person from orbit (love that phrase), I'd rather challenge myself with somebody who is not a total idiot.

I love that last line though.

That statue will come down one way or the other. Either in the dark of night by janitors of the University or by sledgehammers in broad daylight forever on the internets via Youtube.

As if it isn't messed up enough as is, apparently the OSU guys were members of whatever fraternity that's at and were invited by the PSU chapter to join them..only to be treated like that upon arrival.

Cultist Status of the Day:

Quote:
I'm NOT Penn State -- I'm MORE than where I went to college. And as a reasonable adult I can't accept rationalizing away sexual assault of children on ANY level. If you're still defending ANY person or action in this mess you're advancing the culture that created the problem, not the hopefully healing culture that will create the solution
Oh, well I guess anti-cultist status of the day then. ONANA shall spare her.

Hold a culti--- I mean Paterno supporters rally in Beaver Stadium, evacuate everyone else and seal off the town, burn suburbs, and close all the roads. In time the remaining residents will conclude the apocolypse has come and only they were spared. The only people who will run into the town will be sex offenders who will feel at home.

Original idea aye?

Used to post in RGT all the time, now I can't imagine a greater punishment.

Wait, did she just slip "I was a childhood sex abuse victim" into the backend of that strained statement? Not to put too fine a point on it, but that probably means she's crossed some sort of lady-wack-job-hysterics threshold where there just ain't no backing down, listening to reason, or really anything other than hyperbole from here on out.

It's the female version of saying that every time you see a family at dinner you walk up to them, ask permission to address the children, and then tell the children their parents could die at any moment.

In both cases I would only recommend a response, if any, along the lines of "There's something wrong with you. Really."
