WTF? Where has this story been? I usually keep up with gossip or trash stories in the media…I did keep up with that woman in Italy and her trial of sex, drugs and rock and roll….and then it was that Anthony chick and her kids death……but where has this story been? This looks like perfect story for the media to latch onto…….
I was not going to write on this issue because I knew it would piss me off and put me in a foul mood for the rest of the day…..but somethings need to be addressed whether they piss you off or not…..
By now everybody in this country have heard the story of the PSU coach who has been accused of raping little boys for years….I know most men know of it because it involves football and that is something that they must keep track of in the their lives……more so than the country that is dying slowly….but who is in the lead in the BCS is the important issue…….
Okay, it seems that this degenerate was observed raping a small boy in the college’s football showers….the person that observed it reported it to Paterno who in turn told the AD….the punishment was the keys were taken away from the man who committed the crime……and then it was swept under the president’s rug and everyone went ton their way playing football….enough done!
What crap! For one thing Paterno like any other winning, high visible program, the head coach is king on the campus….when he speaks the president listens and then does…..I want to know how a school that has been a champion of decency could allow this to happen….and how did anyone involved in the cover up could sleep at night…..
At what point did a sports program become more important than the rape of a minor?
Paterno has lost his job…..and with the announcement the students rioted on behalf of Paterno. Think about that!
The loss of their head coach was more important than a known pervert had raped a minor in the school’s showers….hope the parents are proud of their children.
I do not care how pumped up a person is about their school’s program…..it is NOT acceptable to condone child rape and the firing of the coach is a minor result…personally, none of that went far enough…everybody involved in the cover up to protect the school’s football program should be confined in a federal prison…NO! That is too good for them….they should be put in general lock-up…….
This whole situation just shows where priorities are for the colleges in this country….the sports is everything……the 10 year old is NOTHING! The students have shown just how pathetic they can be…….and the athletic departments will do anything for the cash….no matter how perverse the act is…….
I will no longer consider PSU as one of the best colleges in this country…there is nothing that they can say or do that will make people view them as anything but a pathetic institution!
Here’s a question….how many PSU students were arrested for rioting? Now how many OWS protesters are arrested?

The beginning of a three day Zen…..
We can blame society for many, many things….bad politicians, stupid marriage laws, greed governing the country….many things….but the Catholic Church has found a new one…..
By now the whole world knows the saga of the priest, all over the world, that are taking advantage of their position to RAPE small boys and the lack of concern by the church for these disgusting pigs….and now we have a report that blames just about everyone except the priests themselves…..this from the Politicususa website…………….
A study and report released this past week titled, “The Causes and Context of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Catholic Priests in the United States, 1950-2010,” placed the blame on everyone except the clergy who perpetrated the rapes.
The report failed to place the blame on the offending priests or the Catholic Church that turned a blind eye to the problem for decades. According to Terry, “The increased frequency of abuse in the 1960s and 1970s was consistent with the patterns of increased deviance of society during that time.” She also stated that “social influences intersected with vulnerabilities of individual priests whose preparation for a life of celibacy was inadequate at that time.” So according to Terry, society was at fault for the abuse during the 60s and 70s, but she failed to find any causal relationship for the decades preceding those years or the 1980s forward to the present. It is offensive to society and the children who were victimized to designate a 20-year time span as the cause of generation’s worth of sexual abuse by priests around the world. The report was limited to clergy-rape in the United States, but worldwide sexual abuse is just as rampant. In South and Central Americancountries where Catholicism is the predominate faith, lawsuits and reports to law enforcement are virtually non-existent suggesting that the problem may be much worse than in America.
The other aspect of the report that is arguably more disgusting than blaming society for pervert-priests is the contention that priests who rape young boys are not pedophiles. Apparently, Terry believes that, “Most of the priests who had allegations of abuse, abused pubescent or post-pubescent minors.” According to Terry and the Catholic funded $1.4 million study, “the victims of pedophiles are defined in the study as being 10 years old or younger.” It is true that the study defines pedophilia as sexual abuse of children under the age of ten, and it is unfathomable that Terry and her research team delineate one year to define a heinous act by the clergy. It is important to note that for the purpose of defending the Catholic Church against litigation from victims of clergy-rape, abusing an eleven-year-old boy does not carry the stigma of pedophilia, even though the 11-year-old boys who suffered brutality at the hands of trusted priests are no less physically and psychologically damaged than a ten-year-old.
I find most religion offensive, at best…..and now this report makes me more disgusted with the Catholic Church than I am with American politics…..apparently there is NO personal responsibility within the Church….but we already knew that…didn’t we?

I do not know if people have heard this story that occurred in Texas…..a 11 year old girl was gang raped by 18 boys ranging in age to the oldest described as a young adult male…..a horrendous crime under normal circumstances but a recent event to discuss the attack sank into a wealth of blaming the 11 year old for instigating the attacks…..
This from a report in the Houston Chronicle…….
A meeting Thursday night that was billed as a way to discuss concerns some have about the investigation into a series of alleged sexual assaults on an 11-year-old girl turned into a forum that many used to blame the girl police contend is the victim of heinous attacks.Many who attended the meeting said they supported the group of men and boys who have been charged in the case. Supporters didn’t claim that the men and boys did not have sex with the young girl; instead they blamed the girl for the way she dressed or claimed she must have lied about her age — accusations that have drawn strong responses from those who note an 11-year-old cannot consent to sex and that it doesn’t matter how she was dressed.
For of all…….The age of consent in Texas is 17 and ignorance of a girl’s age is not a legal defense.
And now for the most tacky part…….gang raped an 11 year old…..come on morons…..what part of that excuse of the way she was dressed is sounds the most stupid? How can anyone defend this action? Nobody wants to be responsible for their actions……..these males are sex offenders, rapists, and should be treated as such…there is NO defense of their actions!
That is right I have said it and so did the Pope….you know that German in white and the funny hat?
Pope Benedict today risked inflaming opinion as he appeared to round on critics of the Catholic church over the widening sexual abuse scandal, saying he would not “be intimidated by … petty gossip”.
And……….
In the face of one of the gravest scandals in the Catholic church’s recent history, the Vatican has chosen to attack the media for what it called an “ignoble attempt” to smear Pope Benedict and his top advisers “at any cost”.
First, it is ALL the fault of the media for reporting this “petty gossip”…..I would bet it is those damn “liberals” in the media that is trying to whack the Pope…..
Let me see there has been sexual abuse charges in LA, Boston, etc and Ireland and a gay prostitution ring run out of the Vatican proper and then there is that priest that violated about 200 deaf kids in Wisconsin….and it is all “PETTY GOSSIP” to the Pope….what a PRICK!
I have heard some say that as Christian it is up to us to forgive transgressions…….WAIT Just A Damn minute! How many of those same Christians are lining up to forgive other sexual predators? What a crock of crap!
These priests should be in prison and let the guys there handle them like they did Jeffrey Dahmer….and since nothing happens without the knowledge or approval of the Vatican…then they all need to be in prison as accessories to9 the crime of sexual predation…..and yes that means his royal highness, Pope Benedict the….whatever number it is……
If this is what “organized” religion is all about then I am pleased with my decision to be a Deist……..every year religion takes a black eye from these sort of scandals and yet it is embraced as the way…….apparently the intellect plays NO part in their decision…..
Not much going on in the news today, so it will be yet another “Sexy Sunday”.
My first thought was, “No she didn’t”……then all I could think of was…OUCH!
An Australian woman has appeared in court in Adelaide charged with murdering her husband by setting fire to his penis.
Rajini Narayan, 44, is alleged to have doused her husband, Satish, with a flammable liquid while he was sleeping.
was sleeping. Did you hear that? Was sleeping.
When she set him alight, Mr Narayan jumped out of bed and knocked over the substance, causing the fire to spread.
Mrs Narayan told the court she had not intended to kill her husband but to punish him for his alleged infidelity.
Prosecutor Lucy Boord said Mrs Narayan had confessed to her neighbours, telling them she was a “jealous wife” and believed her husband was having an affair
Mrs Narayan was initially charged with arson and endangering life – including the lives of her three children who were in the house at the time.
The charge was upgraded to murder after Mr Narayan died from his injuries last week.
She has been held in police custody pending the results of a psychological assessment.

Nine people from Thailand have been jailed for up to two-and-a-half-years for their part in exploiting women who were advertised in “online brothels”. They are thought to have made millions of pounds from women trafficked from Asia to the UK for use in the sex trade.
Every night thousands of men trawl websites in the UK advertising women offering sex for sale.
Many of them are run by prostitutes, or escorts as they often like to describe themselves, who are essentially self-employed entrepreneurs using the internet to cut out the pimps.
But some are advertising women who have been trafficked into the country and are being exploited for profit.
A gallery on the site showed photographs of more than 60 naked and semi-naked women. Many of them were effectively commodities who had been traded and invested in by “bondholders”.
The “bondholders”, who effectively owned several of the women and expected them to pay off their £30,000 debt, were two women, Jirapha Sriwicha, 40, of Hendon, north London and Sutima Khongpon, 55, and Phanusak Kaewbenjarkarn, 32, both from Streatham, south London.
Sutima Khongpon was sentenced to two and a half years in prison, Phanusak Kaewbenjarkarn and Jiripha Sriwicha were each sentenced to two years, Pongpoj Pitayayanakul was sentenced to 18 months, Bordee Pitayayanakul to 15 months, Monthira Duangthip to 12 months in prison, Panya Peakaew, Noppharat Charoenying and Graipich Vudto were all sentenced to 28 days in prison, and Thatri Pornpaditkong was given a community service order.
A Home Office spokeswoman said: “The UK has a comprehensive victim-centred strategy in place to tackle human trafficking.
“In January we launched a short-term review to explore what more we can do to tackle the demand for prostitution.
“We have also invested £5.8m in the Poppy Project over the last six years to provide high-level specialist support for victims trafficked into sexual exploitation.
This includes safe accommodation; advocacy; access to counselling; access to legal advice; interpretative services. Victims are provided with support for an initial thirty-day period whilst they consider their options.”
Hundreds of children, some as young as nine, are being held in appalling conditions in Baghdad’s prisons, sleeping in sweltering temperatures in overcrowded cells without working fans, no daily access to showers, and subject to frequent sexual abuse by guards, current and former prisoners say.
Daytime temperatures in Baghdad last week averaged 44C (112F). They barely drop below 38C at night. Water supplies in Karkh are spasmodic, and Omar said he was able to shower only once every three days. Boys sleep in four dormitories, averaging 75 inmates in a cell about 5 metres by 10 metres, on double bunks or the concrete floor.
Guards often take boys to a separate room in the prison and rape them, Omar alleged. They also break prison rules by lending their mobile phones to boys to ring home, on condition that each time their families top the phone up by $10 or $20. The teaching staff resigned en masse in November because of low pay, according to an international official. As a result, the children lounge around aimlessly with no daytime activities, other than an exercise yard.
Though the boys in the prison have been convicted, international standards for fair trials are never met. “Trials last on average for 25 minutes, no witnesses are called, confessions are used as the only evidence, and court-appointed defence lawyers get the case file on the day of the trial, leaving no chance to consult the defendant in private,” an international adviser in Baghdad said on condition of anonymity.
The ministry is under Shia control and its forces have repeatedly been accused of targeting innocent Sunnis. Sahar Muhammad, the boys’ mother, told the Guardian that when she was able to visit her sons they told her they were beaten repeatedly in the first days of custody and ordered to sign a blank sheet of paper on which charges would be written later.
The UN found severe overcrowding at Tobchi, with around 400 inmates in a prison with an official capacity of 206. “In some cells juveniles were taking turns to sleep on the floor without mattresses,” the UN reported. The ministry of labour and social affairs (Molsa), which manages the prison, said shortages of funds prevented improvements.
