Go away. Please

I will stand up for someone like Joe Paterno any day of the week, your feeble comment notwithstanding.

ok I have to ask, how exactly do you think your comments on this thread “stand up for” Joe Paterno??

So far as I can see you are trivializing rape and sexual abuse of 10 yr olds by saying if they didn’t object then it wasn’t unwanted, or something like that? I don’t want to put any words in your mouth, I’m simply finding it difficult to see how your comments could help to “stand up for” Joe Pat??

If anything, I’d say that you and he have been suffering the same kind of moral blindness. What was done to/with these children was appalling and immoral (and illegal) whether or not they objected, whether or not they reported it.

Then you will be standing up for a man that did not have the courage or will to stand up for children that were being raped. Paterno could have put an end to this in 1998, but he chose to cover it up. The man has no honor, and you are foolish for taking up for him.

I will stand up for someone like Joe Paterno any day of the week, your feeble comment notwithstanding.

So this is all about standing up for Joe Pa? By making it sound like the victims were responsible, or perhaps liked it? As you can see, your post was removed, and you will be lucky not to be banned for such a thing. Sheesh.

I’d be careful who’s character for whom you are vouching...he knew and did the bare minimum; bare minimum. I have seen people make more effort returning a lost wallet than what he did upon hearing about the abuse against little boys by Sandusky.

Pedophilia practiced by men against boys is illegal and immoral. Period. With the exception of Afghanistan, men are not allowed to prey on little boys. Period.

When moral, just adults discover this activity, they need to pursue stopping it with ZEAL To ensure it actually stops! Not hard to understand. Paterno did not do that.

You go ahead and stand up for someone like Paterno any day of the week....just don’t expect all of us to agree.

Did Joe Paterno (or anyone else on his staff and administration) ever think about who the boy was that was in the shower with Sandusky? You find out who the boy was and go to him immediately. Abetting homosexual pedophile rape has no defendable position.
So glad you are standing up for JoePa. Now stand up for the kids who were anally raped.
