  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Trump threatens 25% tariff on European allies until Denmark sells Greenland to US

    And threats. ...Threats. There's a yawning difference (in both interpersonal discussions and geopolitics) between 'I would like this', 'I think I'm entitled to this' and 'I'm going to take this by force, whether you like it or not' or 'If you don't give me this, I'll use physical force...

    Trump threatens 25% tariff on European allies until Denmark sells Greenland to US

    This is both a false dichotomy and a claim not support by evidence. Neither. Principles of free navigation under international maritime law are the most preferable one. Specifically, articles 24, 42 and 87 of the Convention on the Law of the Sea. If the US had removed its noodle from its...

    Trump threatens 25% tariff on European allies until Denmark sells Greenland to US

    It's the Gateway Pundit. That's not sanewashing. They're the opposite of sanewashing. Anything that comes out of there is INSANTLY suspect. It's about the same level as Infowars, Natural News, Conservapedia or WorldNetDaily.

    Trump signs executive order classifying fentanyl as a ‘weapon of mass destruction’

    Fentanyl isn't killing "as many as 350,000 Americans per year". About 90,000 to 110,000 Americans die per year from drug overdoses of all kinds. Estimates are that synthetic opioids kill as many as 80,000 per year (of which about 18,000 were prescription opioids)...

    Skipping 'The Skipper' Sanctions: A blatant theft? And, an international act of piracy??
