  • 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.

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

    Sure, let's go with that. It's not like the US has any credibility left to lose at this point, and it's not going to go anywhere in the courts.

    So, what, are they petrolterrorists? I suppose the crew should feel lucky that we want their oil intact.

    Immigrants Approved for Citizenship ‘Plucked Out’ of Line Moments Before Pledging Allegiance: Report

    Cut off new applications. Don't slam the door on people who are already in the process of becoming citizens.

    Denaturalization

    This. Denaturalizing them. Hope that clears things up.

    Denaturalization

    An opponent's bad behavior does not excuse bad behavior.

    Denaturalization

    Hey, that would get rid of all the people who aren't spontaneous conversationalists too. We all know what trouble they are.

    Denaturalization

    Well, here's one: https://www.newsweek.com/trump-removal-green-card-holders-immigration-2102216 You could always ask ChatGPT for a list. It's not the topic here. I was just pointing out that Trump is already on the outskirts of denaturalization, poking around at the legal issues. Right...

    Denaturalization

    I'm talking about denaturalization here. I'm not concerned about just revoking green cards in this thread. Once they're citizens, they can trash the place and be arrested just like any other citizen.

    Now does everyone understand why the "right to refuse illegal orders" video was made?

    From what I've seen so far, I'd say the Navy has enough to proceed with an Article 32 hearing to decide whether the case should go to court-martial. Conduct a proper military investigation. Trump could just pardon him if he's convicted, so no worries.

    Denaturalization

    I've been reading lately about suggestions to denaturalize legal immigrants. The Trump administration has already been working on revoking green cards and deporting legal immigrants in certain cases. I'd like to know what people around here thing about this, and specifically how far the...

    Trump Says US Will Permanently Pause Migration From 'Third World Countries'

    No. By the same token, you could say "hey, let's cut off social security until we've screened out all the frauds". Or "hey, let's cancel all airline flights until we check out those chemtrail claims". We have a screening process in place. We can work to improve it without cutting it off...

    Trump Says US Will Permanently Pause Migration From 'Third World Countries'

    Certainly not. On the other hand, if I found an immigrant family starving in the streets, I'd work with others to help them find shelter and food, and I might consider providing some of my own funds to help out. In my experience, not all people in need are out to take advantage of me. They just...

    Trump Says US Will Permanently Pause Migration From 'Third World Countries'

    Just as many as my holy texts advise me to house and feed. (Which coincidentally is the same number as the number of my holy texts.)

    Trump Says US Will Permanently Pause Migration From 'Third World Countries'

    Yeah, but helping out the impoverished... showing hospitality... I think I've read about that somewhere before. Oh, well. Not important.
