  • 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

    ‘Go to Berkeley’: Ron DeSantis said students seeking ‘woke’ classes should study elsewhere

    Notice that Cal Tech is the only truly small school on the list! There is a bias against small schools and an even greater bias against colleges where teaching rather than research is the emphasis. My guess is if smaller schools get looked at the contrast between California and Florida...

    When You Lose Interest In A Series You Once Liked

    And Tribbles were 14 years old when they were plagiarized into a Star Trek episode, a Martian Flat Cat is the same by any name. And it is a lot more than a quarter century. Actually, well over a half century. But the half white vs. half black episode will sadly still be relevant when it is...

    ‘Go to Berkeley’: Ron DeSantis said students seeking ‘woke’ classes should study elsewhere

    Yes, what a school is known for often is a grossly inadequate reflection of what the school is. Going into football and the student body, if one watched the Stanford/Cal game they would have noticed the activities around the Axe, as politically incorrect trophy as one can imagine actually...

    ‘Go to Berkeley’: Ron DeSantis said students seeking ‘woke’ classes should study elsewhere

    Which OSU? Only one of the several OSUs actually has more NCAA national championships than Berkeley. The school with the most? Stanford, whose image makes Berkeley seem boringly conservative.

    ‘Go to Berkeley’: Ron DeSantis said students seeking ‘woke’ classes should study elsewhere

    A lot of those posting in this thread would do well to check the Wiki for New School. It was not at all conservative until about 2 years ago when it was gutted and nearly half the faculty quit.

    Why do people hate ICE...

    But that is a benefit if you start with cask proof rum! (Though it seems cask strength is hard to find in everything except Scotch).

    Trump proposes 50-year mortgage

    It is also worth noting that lenders often require mortgage insurance. It does very little for the borrower. It does everything for the lender because they get paid if the borrower defaults.

    Nobel Peace Prize for 2025 awarded to Maria Corina Machado for working toward democracy in Venezuela; White House issues statement

    One person working to establish democracy, one person working to destroy democracy. Good on the Nobel committee for picking the one who supports democracy.

    US will ‘overhaul’ the citizenship test

    That is why applicants pay for the services of a test prep company! There are right answers, wrong answers and the official answer. Knowing all the right answers won't always be enough to pass the test. Knowing the official answer(s) will be.
