My opinion on the removal of the Joe Pa statue at PSU


Notice that the majority of opinions regarding the statue are for its removal and also take note that those who disapprove of the removal of the statue who have a strong argument as to why it should remain aren't coming forward. Most of the responses that say no to taking the statue down just say simply, "No."

I understand that Joe Pa is a football hero/legend/etc; however, his position is akin to Spiderman. This may sound childish, but with great power comes great responsibility. And he had a responsibility to those children to do what was right if he knew. When the situation came to light, alas, if he wasn't guilty, he has to accept that because of his position, the higher you get, the farther you fall. And he, his family, and his fans need to accept that if he is innocent, that this situation has to be chalked up to "That's life." Innocent people go to jail every day for crimes they did not commit. All that's going on here is the removal of a statue. His legacy will always remain the same even if it is besmirched by this tragedy. You have to try to avoid all possible situations with negative light when you're a household name because the job of the media is to tear you apart.

Ultimately, why take the chance of leaving the statue up as a reminder of the dishonor that fell upon PSU. Every prospective college tour guide would have to avoid the topic when that one parent says, "So what's your opinion on Joe Pa?" if the statue had remained... forever rehashing the issue. This way, they can erect something in it's place and in about ten years, only the alumni will have an opinion about the situation. And the school CAN heal from this tragic and unfortunate event.

Vale...

Había un gran rato de tiempo desde yo he creado un post en este blog, pero ahora? Estoy aquí.

Haber, estoy en España y yo he estado aquí por casi tres semanas. Piensas que ya está tiempo para regresar a los EEUU? Creo que si. No tenía muchas oportunidades de blogear, pero ahora, sí.

Este viaje fue y es vale la pena y el precio porque antes de esto, nunca he tenido otra oportunidad a viajar a ortos países hispánicas o extrajeras en general salvo Canadá. Quería la oportunidad de romper la monotonía de la vida diaria porque me he llegado muy aburrido con los hábitos y los procesos de lo que era mi vida.

Las clases de matemática fueron muy difíciles y solo asistía a una clase de español el año pasado. Me daba cuenta me interesa mucho la ciencia social de lingüísticas porque es un tema muy larga y puede ser comparado a las matemáticas porque este arte tiene un lógico que tiene muchas semejanzas con la estructura de las lingüísticas.

No se. Tengo un poco sueno y quiero decir y escribir mas, pero dos amigos y yo hemos viajado en autobús a Granada en este momento y yo sigo acostándome en este sillón, jajaja.

Pero cuando no estoy tan preocupado con el uso de la lengua y las reglas, tengo mucho éxito cuando yo quiero hablar o escribir, como lo que es arriba.

Hasta luego los que no leen mi blog, jajaja
