Apparently Sandusky's defense is going to use this to explain the love letters.

Sandusky is toast. If the prosecution's witnesses didn't cook him, his own witnesses have done. "We all shower with young boys, its normal." I don't even think Catholic priests would say that to defend each other.

Yes, well I hope he's the meat in a toast sandwich...in prison. :x

It's more common than you think...

"A philosopher is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there. A theologian is the man who finds it." ~ H. L. Mencken

"We ain't a sharp species. We kill each other over arguments about what happens when you die, then fail to see the fucking irony in that."

"It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion."

There's a discussion about capital punishment over here. Would someone please move the posts that are relevant to it, and not relevant to this thread across to it?

I think the assistant coach is clutching at straws now, and his lawyers are incompetent or just plain greedy for not pointing that out to him.

I read that HPD is due to be removed from the DSM when the 5th Ed. is released.

Sorry, didn't mean to bug you.
these are things we think we know
these are feelings we might even share
these are thoughts we hide from ourselves
these are secrets we cannot lay bare.
