"The 35-year-old former Glee star was weeks away from sentencing after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography involving a prepubescent minor."

Good. I respect him for it. He was a pedophile, and he did something about it. Sure, there are other options (treatment/therapy which may or may not work), but at least he took action and the result of that action is that children are safer. Good on him. "Federal investigators said they found more than 25,000 images and 600 videos depicting child pornography on computers and thumb drives that belonged to Salling. The content depicted children as young as 3 years old being abused, according to court documents." drymount that.

Whenever I read or hear about pedophiles I think about how terrible it would be to be one. If anyone reading this has sexual thoughts about children, get help. If anyone has gone so far as to obtain child pornography, turn yourself in so that your treatment is mandated and can be monitored by law enforcement. Or kill yourself. That's harsh, but it might be the most compassionate route for everyone involved, from past and future victims to the pedophile's parents.

On an unrelated note, Billy Graham died. Surprised that hasn't been mentioned.

As a gay man, I will say, So long Billy.
No one mentioned it because it’s not worth mentioning.

Come on Code, I see you’re lurking...go ahead, make a snide remark....

Holy shite. Thanks for posting all this about him. I didn't even catch any of that child pornography stuff that he was into. That's horrific and it's obviously why he took his life.

Reason I even saw anything about him was because a coworker of mine sent me the below link yesterday about people who have died so far this year because he knows I knew Art Van who passed away and he is mentioned. Then I saw the Glee guy. I used to watch that show now and then. Then I just grabbed any link about his death to post and didn't notice the awful kid stuff.

Here is that link and Billy Graham is also mentioned.

^This. So. Much.

We don't tell drug addicts to kill themselves.

Is this just a thread about celebrities that have passed away, or is there truly a death pool being run on here? Curious
