JoePa has Lung Cancer

Are you this angry of a person in real life, or just an internet forum warrior? 

Haha, once again, I am making an ass out of myself because we don't see eye to eye on a topic,.  Please re-post the supposed quotes of me "making an ass out of myself."  I am waiting for this with bated breath.  From memory, I don't think I've made more than 12-15 posts, if even that many, on the topic, so it really shouldn't be too lengthy of a process for you to find all of these posts.

Get over yourself, kid.    Starting at least 4-5 threads on the topic of Paterno, and posting dozens (don't have the time or desire to really look into how many, but I wouldn't be shocked if we are talking well over 100 at this point) doesn't make your opinion the only one that is relevant and doesn't speak too highly to your ability to generate ethos and credibility in a discussion if you feel the only way you can hammer your point home is to focus on quantity over quality.

A sign of maturation is seeing an issue from multiple perspectives  but ultimately coming to your own conclusions based on what you believe and what makes sense to you.  You obviously don't have to agree with alternative opinions, but having the ability to realize that an opinion is an opinion, and others may disagree with yours, is something that puts someone on a higher plane in my mind. 

But you know what, keep living in that little, narrow minded, Straight Shooter bubble, it must be nice and cozy in there

Just like if all of the witches in Salem hadn't done anything wrong, they wouldn't have burned at the stake?  Just like if Richard Jewel hadn't done anything wrong, he wouldn't have been destroyed in the media back in Atlanta during the olympics? 

These are just two examples that popped in my head.  Unfortunately, it is human nature to jump onboard in a mob mentality situation before all of the facts are known. This situation is a perfect example.  I can't speak for everyone with a contrarian view, but from my perspective, I really just want all of the facts to play out, and know what actually happened before I am willing to applaud and contribute to the demise of a man's character. Especially, when up to this point, there was not much to support that demise.

Even if I end up agreeing that he got everything  he deserved in this situation, I'm not sure I'd then cheerfully applaud a man's cancer diagnosis, like so many in this thread have, but to each their own.

You:

“Not going to get roped into this nonsense with you.  I feel I proved my point, you are harping on the way you are interpreting how it was phrased.  Gonna just agree to disagree here. I have much better things to do with my time.”

Me:

“You made an accusation that was untrue. Then when you were challenged to back up your accusation you couldn’t do it and instead bowed out claiming you had better things to do.

I have no idea how you could possibly think that proved whatever point you were trying to make, but if believing that makes you feel better about yourself, then have at it.”

Aww, poor little fella. 

Maybe if Penn State didn’t choke last week and was still relevant that would be one thing, but unless they bet on the game I don’t think many people give a fuck what the current #21 ranked team does with one week to go in the regular season.

For all those who love Paterno, keep loving him - nothing wrong with his accomplishments on the field. But as far a his accomplishments as a decent human being - there is none; his inaction after knowledge of this horrible crime against a child has allowed himself to be thrown into the pits with the most vile of human beings.

"Ah the old “I have cancer so please respect my privacy and don’t ask me questions about how I let my defensive coordinator rape little boys for 2 decades as I deal with this even though nobody knew I had cancer till I announced it.” Well played sir. Looks like the old dog still has a few tricks up his sleeve. George Regan could learn a thing or two from Joe Pa. Haters gonna hate, slaters gonna slate." -- Dave Portnoy

That's really the best you can come up with, Bubble Boy?  You make the statement that I'm making an ass out of myself in these Penn State threads, and to defend that opinion, you pick a statement I made trying to be a bigger person and end the stupid war of words days ago.

Yes, you followed up my statement with your statement, but newsflash, just because Straight Shooter types something, it doesn't make it true. 

Now, if you were referring to the fact that I made the statement that I wouldn't waste my time on this nonsense, and yet, because of your endless asinine statements directed towards me, here I am getting roped back into it, touche.  It is embarrassing to me that I can't seem to just ignore you.  

Not going to make that mistake again though.  If being that angry and narrow minded makes you happy, who am I to judge.  Being 100% right in every argument, and smarter than every other person you come across must feel nice in that cozy little bubble of yours  

In all seriousness .... Penn State is going to lose millions and millions and millions of dollars. They are going to be at the bottom of the Big Ten for 10+ years. Kids will choose another school. Lawsuits. The surrounding areas are going to be hit hard. Home prices will drop and small biz will start shutting down.

I'm glad I don't have any money tied to University Park or the State College area.

What a shame.

So many victims.

So making things up and then limping off with your tail between your legs after you are challenged to back up your lies equals being the “bigger person.”

Whatever you say, kid.

Also if being called out for making things up bothers you so much perhaps you should try not making things up.
