The students of penn state have shown their true colors, blue and white.

I don't know if you know the ten commandments, but you made it obvious.

Commandment #2

You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me. But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands

Agreed.


I feel the punishment is just for Penn State. Someone mentioned it earliear. It is unfair for the students though that are currently participating in the sports program at Penn State. How one guy can ruin it for so many. It sends a message to all the other colleges though.

You passed judgement on a student body at a school based on what you think you heard a handful of kids say. Then you put words in their mouth by claiming they worship Paterno and support Paterno rather than the victims.
