How much do you want to bet Barfarn never used the word "dotard" before Kim Jong-un leveled that epithet against Donald Trump?
Friendly hint, Comrade Barfarn: You might think it makes you sound sophisticated, educated, or clever to bandy about old-fashioned-sounding insults like "dotard," but the word doesn't mean what you seem to think it means. Flogging perfectly good English words so egregiously just makes you sound pretentious, hyperbolic, and worst of all, shrill.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the subject counter-argument constitutes a freakish self-entitled duplicity. While mocking one for using a word tangential to its exact accepted meaning; the counter-argument asserts that English is being āflogged.ā Da ways eyes sees it, a language cannot be āflogged;ā but Iād be a childish dickhead to make fun of this arguer for using āflogā in such a context.
But, hereās the greater depressive tragedy: universities are teaching sociopathy today instead of a respect for Peoples and their rights. In my day, we would have marched over deportations and profiling, harassment and assassinations of minorities. Far too many youngsters today have lost the ability for civil disagreement; hold an egocentric self-entitlement; and possess a fleeting respect for the rule of law and other pillars of our society. Worst of all, theyāre just a lot meaner, they relish playing the part of the bully. Far too many seek-out the majority position, regardless of its morality, so they can be on the winning/bullying side. My generation of university students fought on the side of the weaker.
It looks to me like it's supposed to be "Carolina loss is on the GB fan." Looks like he might have been Swyping on a mobile device when he wrote it.
But seriously, the loss is the fault of the fans? Really, Barfarn? Really?

This is why people can be led by the nose by a nonsensical phrase: "Tax cuts to rich will trickle down." The twitter brained dope says, "Doh, oh ya that sounds about right š." Since "trickle-down" was first introduced by Reagan, a concept that I personally initially accepted, because it fit many economic models; it simply has been proven NOT to work and there's not a respected economist that says it does. What we learned is that a person making 2 mill per year is already spending all she can; and an extra million is squirreled away in offshore accounts or legally laundered thru foreign pass thru companies. Corporations also squirrel money away in pass thru overseas companies. EG. Caterpiller employees 16K people in US; but its Swiss unit of 125 people accounts for over 30% of the company's profit.
Here's a stat: Executive wages in 70's were about 20x the average worker's wage. Iit exploded to 100x in the 80's due ot Reagan's plan. In 2014 it was measured at 330x. But, a dunce n a subject remains a dunce on the subject if he refutes argument with monosyllabic 140 character twitter thinking.
I digress š, I'll give ya the Cliff's notes:
1. Rodgers played like crap, the gunslinger, the cowboy, wilfullly choosing to stat whore and play outside of the practiced offense. This destroyed our odds of winning.
2. 1265 seeks only profit not winning; if fans continue to idolize Rodgers, 1265 has no motivation to correct Rodgers' play.
3. Rodgers is not held accountable by fans, so he doesnt feel negative impact of his crap play. If fans held him accountable he'd stop that crap and get back to playing like the GOAT he was a few years ago.
Here's a fact: Back half '15 he played like crap; but fans blamed everyone and everything else [Except me of course, I just look at the tape]. So his crap play continued in early '16. During the 4 game losing streak; Rodgers regressing even further. But, one thing changed. Fans began to blame Rodgers; the press started savaging him and miracle of miracles, Rodgers played a lot better. Rodgers announced in off season he was "rededicating" himself to football and started playing this year quite well without an OL.
How the fans react to his crap play; will affect his play going forward.
Now use that education for good. Prove you are not a sociopathic majority seeking bully and break with the clique peanut gallery. Argue like an educated adult: if you disagree, attack the argument not the person!
