  • 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.

    Well, it looks like they've fixed them. The China stuff works now. Mostly - some of the file names are still broken. Little bit embarrassing in the interim though.

    Follow up: it's the same for many of the other files. The Michigan voter role .pdfs are fine, but most of the rest are broken. Most competent administration ever.

    Lol! The China stuff is broken. All 1kb files. Looks like they busted the name of the folder.

    NOAA releases 20th Annual "Arctic Report Card". The last 10 years have been the hottest 10 years on record

    That time series isn't "predictive" - its based on observations. Past levels are based (primarily) on ice-cores and current levels (1960s onwards) are from direct observations from sites like Mauna Loa: https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/ You can even download all the data used to make that...

    Sec State Rubio vows to ‘dismantle’ International Criminal Court

    The US strikes on boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, particularly the follow-up strikes on disabled wrecks with survivors, would offer strong evidence to the contrary. https://theintercept.com/2026/06/10/trump-boat-strikes-human-trafficking-victims/

    People. They. Polled. People. From all over the world. This is a thing they do. They're professionals pollsters. As an organisation, they've been doing it for ~20 years. Pew is far from the only polling group that has reported lower international favourability for the US. Gallup, Morning...

    NOAA releases 20th Annual "Arctic Report Card". The last 10 years have been the hottest 10 years on record

    Correct so far. Nope. If it were not for human activities, we'd be in a (mild) cooling period right now. But, instead we're in the midst of the most rapid period of global warming since humans have been a species. NASA: "There is unequivocal evidence that Earth is warming at an...

    What makes a True American?

    Jeannette Rankin and George Patton were wildly ethically divergent in humanitarian terms. One a lifelong pacifist and one a constant headlong advocate for war. Are you going to argue that one or the other, or neither, were not True Citizens?

    What makes a True American?

    I don't think there is any single ideological or ethical framework that makes one a "true American". There are some common values, but they're not universal. There are Americans who reject representative government and advocate monarchy or theocracy. Pastor Doug Wilson, notorious Christian...

    Mamdani-backed DSA candidate’s win in NYC district leaves residents reeling: ‘No real roots in the neighborhood’

    It gets even more complicated when you consider post-graduate roles and students employed by the university. There was a period of about 18 months where I would have been classified as a student, part-time faculty, an unpaid researcher AND as a non-faculty employee. While I was completing my...
