[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]

[b]Psu is responsible because it accepted these kids without screening out their profile[/quote][/b]

Seriously??  Everyone has an opinion regarding this matter, however, at least make a valid argument...[/quote]

Yeah it's a stupid concept. It's basically a general northeast population at a large state school.  You get what you get.
However the school is responsible for cultivating citizens who don't condemn a football coach turning a blind eye to repeated violent child sexual abuse for 20+ years and for that they should be condemned. The whole school needs to work on their ethics and maybe give up football for 10 years until they get that straightened out.[/quote]

But again, Penn State did not "cultivate and create", people are who they are.  There are some people who will never hear anything that does not fit with his or her beliefs.  On the other hand, there are many people who do not fully research a topic prior to making a broad general opinion.  It goes both ways.  [/quote]

Yes, you are who you are but you are also greatly influenced by your environment and the collective culture of the people around you. [/quote]

But is it a collective culture?  Yes, there are many blind followers, but is that the WHOLE student population and alumni?  I think what you are saying may be true for some, but to make a blanket statement is just too broad.  So, everyone who has any affiliation with Penn State is a heartless being with no morals?  Every person affiliated would allow someone to die in front of them and do nothing to stop it?  That would be like blaming every person of Catholic faith for the actions of a few.  Sorry, I can't do it...[/quote]
