Every organization or community has its share of immoral, unethical, or even criminal people. This includes conservatives, Republicans, perhaps even Freepers. For the good people of these communities, these others and their actions cause feelings of shame and ambivalence. But should we blame or hold responsible the decent members of these groups for the actions of a few? Of course not.
I believe that many posters here are simply using this scandal as a means to vent their overall disgust with secular society. Have fun with that. Meanwhile, Penn State will move ahead and recover.
