Let us be at peace as we pay more attention to our dreadful Cleveland Browns....no one cares about them.
Which is good.

I can't take it any more. It's been over 24 hours since I looked at that thread. I never will again. I won't look at responses to my final posts on it. I know people hate me quite a bit, but your statement in that thread stating you thought most people would do the same thing that actually happened if in the same position really hit home. The overwhelming majority of people here would be shocked to know I spent several years as an officer in the armed forces. I learned some strange things there about lots of things. The greatest thing I learned is what a tremendous thing socialized health care is!! (that's another story for another time! I did like it though.) Nonetheless, my first commanding officer "boss" at one point told me I needed to lie. OF course lying is a terrible thing and shouldn't ever be done but to be outraged about a cover up is hypocritical by anyone...well, maybe you can be outraged but certainly not shocked. My initial thought is 100 percent of division 1 universities have played a player who has sexually assaulted a female. Would that be close to a fair assumption?? I'm not sure, I'm just guessing. In the end, I did decide I agreed with your point that it's not a for sure what we'd do in the exact situation that occurred at Penn State. That was hard for me at first as lots of wrongs were committed by lots of people. But I do know I have taken the moral low road lots of times when I knew I shouldn't but did anyway. OF course there are levels to everything, but I know I've done it. So to say I truly know what I'd do would be a lie. And I was actually told to do that once!!! (what happened in the end was just another moral low road moment for me!) All you Christians out there, where did Jesus draw the absolute line at forgiveness?? I'm not really Jesus but I certainly know I can forgive a 19 year old defending Joe Paterno. That I know for certain. For many it is another moral low road moment for me. I think I disagree.
