Message: [QUOTE="Tobias Funke, post: 916360, member: 850"] Don't bother. This has been discussed before and you will be hammered for it. Some believe that the constant joking and references to Ped State are simply giving them what they deserve. I have also heard that it keeps it in the forefront of people's minds. However, I will say this once again for anyone who listens. I have a friend who runs an organization for sexually abused children. He himself has dealt with a child who was abused, and he has conveyed to me the group is concerned over people casually joking about the abuses. He has spoken about the Penn State scandal specifically. Whether we agree or not, the constant joking around minimizes the atrocities in the view of families affected by this horrible trauma. Continue if you will I am nobody's parent, but with that knowledge I myself have chosen not to make light of the situation. I will hop off of my soap box now.. [/QUOTE]
