Wes and Scott contributing to decline of English skills in America

[TopFrog]

By making people spell words incorrectly, phonetically, to allow a person to make and state their case. Like having to call someone a dooshbag rather than allowing and promoting the correct spelling. And we wonder why people can't spell anymore.

The decline and fall of any civilization is inevitable, Top. Just accept it and look for a comfortable spot in the handbasket 'til the ride's over.

I disagree. The baby boomers themselves are the root of all that ails us. To heck with blasting either big government or tea partiers. I say it's the baby boomers we should be angry with. For 50 years we've been catering to their whimsical temper tantrums. Let's deport the lot of them to Canada and be done with it.

If we deport the Boomers, who's going to fund $143-million football stadiums for TCU? Got your checkbook ready?
