Mainliner, please respond true or false to the following line of statements:
Underage boys were raped without consent in the football facilities at Penn State
The activities in (1) were done by Jerry Sandusky
The activities in (1) were facilitated by Jerry Sandusky using his charitable organization
The activities in (1) were known to have occurred by at least one other member of the football staff at Penn State
The activities in (1) were known to have occurred by Joe Paterno, who was at that time the head coach of Penn State
Joe Paterno used his influence to stop the Penn State administration from investigating the activities in (1)
The Penn State administration listened to the advice of Joe Paterno, and did not investigate the activities in (1) for many years, in order to not tarnish the reputation of the Penn State football program
To a normal outside person, the answer to all of these questions is "True," which is why the Penn State cult behavior is so abhorrent. To many Penn Staters, the answer to all of these questions is "False." Depending on where the answers switch from "True" to "False" is a good gauge of how delusional someone is.
