Half my Facebook feed was a giant circle jerk when they announced this (I'm from PA - I went to Pitt, but like 95% of my non-community college bound classmates went to Penn State). It's loving insufferable how stupid people are when you mention JoePa.

Given current events I find myself thinking more and more that our society does not care nearly as much about preventing child molestation as it claims to. It's disgusting and sad. We actually stumbled upon a moral panic worth caring about and we can't even get that right.

I don't know, this opinion seems right to me? I generally think people's public and private actions should be kept separate. I'm certainly not defending someone who covered up child molestation, but I don't really see why they should retroactively change his football record because of it. It just seems like two completely unrelated things.

The moral panic is worthless because it focuses almost exclusively on lone freaks, instead of powerful men of means, who tend to be the most prolific perpetrators of child molestation, and are the ones who rarely are ever punished for their crimes.

It just seems like two completely unrelated things. He used the power granted by his position in the football program to cover up molestation by a member of the staff of the football program. That is, quite obviously, related to the football program.

Death Ray posted:Journalistic courage doesn't just occur in France! I don't understand your metaphor at all. How are Muslim extremists the elephant in the room? I assume that was what you were going for, but even so, the first thing I thought was what do the republicans have to do with this. It really muddied the whole message. I also want to know who is even saying the things you're bitching about in your rant because I have not seen anything even close to calling Charlie Hebdo Nazi propaganda. Also are you really this upset about people not wanting to publish images of Muhammad. I mean they were aiming to offend with those images, being shocking is kind of their thing. There's plenty of graphics they make up for the daily show that would never get published in a newspaper and no one's ever died over the daily show.

If they're Puerto Ricans they're technically kinda already Americans and I really haven't seen anyone bitch about that yet.

Maybe they could get away with that poo poo in high school but I'm pretty sure most professors won't give two shits about how well you throw a ball, they'll flunk your rear end if you don't at least attempt to do the work. It's pretty hard to fail when the University pays other students to tutor you at the Athletic Center.

Professors are a lot less likely to flunk your rear end when doing so would piss off big chunks of the university administration and / or alumni and fans who are university donors. Football players get rubber-stamped through classes all the drat time, all across the nation.

Jurgan posted:People were asking earlier, so I checked with my father, and he says Doonesbury still runs in the paper in Charleston. He was sure today's was new, but not so sure of the weekday ones. Doonesbury is in reruns Monday-Saturday, although they're not reprinting every strip -- it's more a "Best Of" thing. They're currently up to the late 70s and Mike and JJ's first date. Trudeau still does original strips for Sunday. Markovnikov posted:Could I get a link on all this mess?

As if it matters, everyone's still running with it anyway. If you could argue against austerity with logic its inability to do anything but make almost everyone really poor should have killed it off ages ago.

If you could argue against austerity with logic its inability to do anything but make almost everyone really poor should have killed it off ages ago. To be fair to austerity, there are very, very occasionally times when it is a good idea. If you have one country that is in a huge fiscal crisis (like, an actual fiscal crisis and not some bullshit "oh no our deficit is 0.5% of GDP, quick cut everything in the budget by 50%" crisis) and unable to get out of it, but the rest of the world is booming and has strong economic growth, in some circumstances an austerity program for that country can be a good idea (not necessarily is a good idea, but can be if you consider solving the fiscal crisis to be the #1 priority for whatever reason). Trying to have every developed country in the world run an austerity program at the same time during a recession is loving moronic.

I guess the problem is more about the precendent that it will set regarding debt inside the EU, as well as giving a big gently caress you to Germany, which is a big no-no. The ECB wanted to increase spending if I'm not mistaken anyway, right?

The ECB is beginning a round of quantitative easing to the tune of 60 billion euros a month until further notice in order to pump money into the European economy and avoid a deflationary spiral. There are worse ways to deal with low growth (austerity being one of them) but there are also better ways to deal with it, like using that massive amount of money on meaningful investments in government programs and projects rather than just handing it all to banks and hoping they do the rest for you.
