I am genuinely curious: in what ways has he helped you? Did he do or say something in particular? Can you give an example of a situation where you just couldn't have surpassed your difficulty without what you'd learned from him?

Three quick keys to figuring out if you’re in a dangerous cult.

You can piss right off with that noise, young son.

“And when I got in my truck, you know, I was so proud, because I felt like I finally drew a line in the sand and stood up for what I believed.”

Nice try. No one is trying to erase history. What they’ve attempted to do is correct a mistake of erecting a statue to a still living person. There’s a reason that the United States Postal Service doesn’t put a person’s face on a stamp until ten years after their death, (with the exception of U.S. Presidents, which is…

No that's not true. Quite a few studies have been done debunking that deeply insulting and dangerous myth. Please stop spreading it around.

Joe Paterno wasn’t one of the fucking Founding Fathers, you dipshit, he was a god damn college football coach. He wasn’t Patrick Fucking Henry or Simon Bolivar or Toussaint Motherfucking Louvertere, he was a shithead football coach. The “history” of your college’s fucking football program is not on par with ACTUAL…

Here’s how they justify this bullshit:

You’re absolutely correct that child sexual abuse and traumatic stress can have extensive repercussions. However, the myth that most children who have been sexually abused will go on to offend is just that - a myth. It happens, but the majority of children do not do this.

Those fucking “bring the statue back” people are so damn blind to the fact that he chose FOOTBALL over children getting molested. And anyone asking for the statue back is pretty much saying they believe the same thing...which, in this day and age of our society, is fucking pathetic. Paterno knew what he was doing.…

The whole point is he doesn’t get a cookie. Only a truly evil and depraved man would not.

My dad is 75. I gurantee he’d not be OK with someone molesting children. And wouldn’t let it continue if he found out about it.

On the last Penn State article, some guy was trying to argue that Joe told the AD (after McQueary told him he saw Sandusky rape a kid in 2001), so it wasn’t his fault. As if passing the buck to your boss, then never asking another question, was sufficient reaction for a guy that built his career on doing things “the…

When I was in Iraq, one of the Civil Affairs officers had gotten her commission from Penn State’s ROTC program. She demanded her Humvee driver get a huge-ass Penn State nittany lion mascot stenciled on the side of her door. None of the other trucks had anything like this, so I presume the local insurgents thought it…

I don’t know. My father-in-law cancelled his Joe Paterno credit card when the Sandusky allegation first went public.

Yes. I literally read this with my jaw dropped. I wish Paterno was alive so he could be prosecuted as an accomplice. Fucking human garbage.

Yeah that always cracked me up that he was still able to coach a major college football program but was “too old and confused” as to what to do about reports that his top assistant was sticking his dick in young boys asses.

Will this finally stop people from asking for that fucking statue back?

It’s unfathomable to think how much damage was caused by the 36 additional years that man was able to continue to abuse children. Just leaves you speechless.
