  • 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

    how far is trump to go for greenland

    I agree with your general description. Due to the growth of world population, and to missionary »success«, there are more living followers of Jesus than followers who have died in the last 2000 years. Since population growth decreases (in percentage per year), this may change in the future, but...

    how far is trump to go for greenland

    The last clause: »The nuclear-exchange endgame might have kicked in during the 1980's, and we'd all be rubbing sticks together to make fire.« You would not rub any sticks because you would all be dead, if not from the bombs, then from radioactivity and the nuclear winter. Yes, as I said above...

    how far is trump to go for greenland

    Oh, that's not true. Perhaps you would all be rubbing sticks together to make fire, if there were a soviet nuclear attack on China (if you don't understand the logic, search for "nuclear winter"). If the USSR had attacked USA, no-one in the 48 states would have survived (I'm not sure about...

    New video of Renee Good shooting surfaces from ICE agent’s perspective

    As the shooting of Pretti shows, ICE and related officials lie blatantly. So why should I believe the man really had internal bleeding?

    Europe needs to calm down about Greenland

    Not just any bloggers. The comparison is, that both (these »bloggers« and drug lords) are indirectly responsible for the death of persons. But I admit that - as to now - more people died of drug addition than committed suicide because of harassment by those »bloggers«. It is not enforced in...

    Europe needs to calm down about Greenland

    They act in the UK, via internet. AFAIK, Maduro never was in the USA. According to your logic, Trump have no right to impose US laws on him. Nor on any drug lord that never entered into USA.

    Sometimes the USA behaved like a rogue state. Things are more complicated. I start with a comparison of two wars in the 20th century: In the late 1940's and the 1950's, the UK won a guerilla war in Malaya (part of today Malaysia). In the 1960's and early 1970's the USA lost the Vietnam war...

    Minneapolis ICE shooting: Toxic empathy vs. the rule of law

    I don't understand. That Trump often (about 30% AFAIK) tells things that are distorted or simply wrong, is a known fact. So what subjects you are speaking about? I also have studied, first linguistics, then informatics.

    Europe needs to calm down about Greenland

    It took a long time to decide against Russian gas, but when this was decided, it was done rather quickly. The »patriotic« (according to JDV) parties warned we would all freeze in the next winter, but that was simply wrong. It's the same rationale that Trump shows when dealing with Putin.

    Europe needs to calm down about Greenland

    I can't. You mean if persons harass other people, threaten their lives, up to the point that some victims commit suicide, it is not ok to fine these persons?

    New video of Renee Good shooting surfaces from ICE agent’s perspective

    As you can see from other posts, it is not clear. He got the internal bleedings in an incident some days before, no connection to Mrs. good.

    Hm, the US economy is too strong to take a benefit out of protectionism, I guess.

    Is this an allusion to that ship that sunk in the Baltic sea? Putin is a problem for most of Europe (it seems Spain doesn't care …).

    Protectionism is good for a weak economy, to protect it from the stronger competitors. Japan got into troble, because it did not end its protectionism after the Japanese economy got strong. Trump and thought processes? :D
