Search "Paterno" on twitter and you'll see a lot of posts in the past couple of hours saying he's gravely ill, been given his last rites, extended family is all going to the hospital. Doesn't look good for him.
I feel bad for paterno for it to go down like this.
I dont feel bad for him. But, then, I have a heart.
As someone who has lost a family member after they took him off a respirator, I can say that it's peaceful for the dying person but the waiting and listening is terrible on everyone else. I feel awful for his family.
That is pretty cold, ice cold.Quote:

Hitler also was Time man of the year.
Joe Paterno was also a man who accepted pedophiles and let them use his facilities. Rest in Agony.Quote:
