[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something is wrong with the character of people who would voluntarily choose Penn State.  That's why all this inexplicable souless activist occurs there.  The people and atmosphere are toxic.[/quote]

The young men who made the conscious decision to allow this man to suffer and die without making any effort to help should be held responsible.  Penn State did not "make" these men behave in such a heartless manner.  The issue here is the complete lack of any ethics, moral responsibility, or basic common sense.  These kids did not "become" this way because of the college they went to.  [/quote]

I didn't say Penn State made them do it.  I said Penn State attracts a disproportionate amount of people that lean immoral and are not too bright.  Why would anybody with any choices choose Penn State.  Think about it [/quote]

Where did you find these statistics?

[b]The Sandusky scandal did not involve any students[/b]

If you choose not to attend a certain University, then don't go. [/quote]

Fair point that if you a student already there, you have nothing to do with that. However, once the scandal broke out and it was clear that PSU football and upper level administration turned a blind eye towards these heinous crimes, why would you want to affiliate yourself with that school? When someone mentions Penn State to me, I immediately think of Sandusky. [/quote]

I'd disagree.....I think students became actors in the Sandusky scandal when the rioted in protest of Paterno's dismissal.  That showed the world what Penn State students stood for.....a football program over the victims. It painted the student body and the entire university in an extremely negative light.[/quote]

How many students actually rioted? Penn State has something like 50,000 students.[/quote]

Did you watch any of the footage of the riots and protests?  It would be foolish to condemn the entire student body but it would also be foolish to ignore a repeated pattern of events at Penn State that seem to defend attackers and ignore victims.  I thought it was astounding that not one member of the Penn State faculty or administration attended this poor boy's funeral.  Nor did any of the members of the fraternity.  [/quote]
