  • 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.

I'm sure, because she wouldn't have thought of it on her own
Yeah, after umpteen years as a senior prosecutor. She'd have no idea of how to persuade people!

What is it with the constant attempts to portray her as some dumb woman? You don't have the sort of career that she's had if you're not pretty intelligent (although I don't know if she'd be able to differentiate between a rhino, a lion and a camel like Trump did so very well in the Moca test*). But feel free to underestimate her if you like. That's will only be to her advantage.

If you think that someone who thought it might be worth looking into injecting bleach and that the Revolutionary army took over British airfields would be more your type of guy then I know someone else you could vote for.

If someone would have asked her what kind of gun she has she would have been lost. What make, what model, what caliber?
They're probably preparing for that question now.
You are the one who said she gave a canned response, even down to the "shouldn't have said that " part

She has a gun and doesn't know what it is? Why on earth would you suggest that? That's almost like 'Huh, she's just a girl. She won't know what sort of gun it is'. That's a pretty risible response.

And a canned response is a typical run-of-the-mill response that doesn't need to be pre-planned. Because it comes ready packaged. This was just the opposite. But look, it might have been off the cuff. But if it was, then the team backstage would have been doing some high fiving and saying 'Darn, we should have thought of that anyway'.

You’re the one who said it was planned by her Ace team of advisers. You changing your mind now?

No, I didn't. I said I wouldn't be surprised if it had been planned. And how on earth would I know in any case?

It was a smart move. She's a smart woman. She has smart people working for her. So again, I wouldn't be surprised if it had been planned.

She’s a highly educated successful woman, but a woman. I recently saw a great point: if you have two candidates for the same job, 1 man, 1 woman, choose the woman because the effort it took for her to be considered on the same level as the man makes her more qualified. Women are still considered less than a man in leadership in the US. I Hope Kamala can change that. ( and against Trump especially)

Oh, no...someone who has endorsed Harris interviewed her as well! And a woman of colour to boot. Somebody should complain to...well, I don't know. It's...political shenanigans of the highest order. Write to your congressman. Tommy isn't the sharpest tool in the box but he might be able to do something.

'Your home is your castle' doesn't suggest that your life is less important than your house. It means that you are meant to be safe in your own house, so if someone tries, or succeeds in entering, you are allowed to use a weapon to protect yourself and family. You aren't protecting the house.

In any case, Harris does not want to stop people from doing that. As she explained, both she and Walz are gun owners.
But she was AGAINST Stand Your Ground laws.

here is the difference between castle doctirine and stand your ground.

Castle doctorine, I can feel threatened in my own home and shoot you.
Stand your ground as has been the case, I can break into your hours, threaten you, then shoot you becuse I feel threatened when you respond back. THere is no requirement to be innocent, or actually be in danger just feel it. Look at the george floyd incident, regardless of where you stand on if that was rightful shooting or not, the guy attacked someone else, followed him, created a situation where someone felt threatened, and then when that person responds appropriatly, he gets shot because the other guy feels threatend for something he created.

There is a concept in the law that stand your ground side steps, wich is fighting words, you do or say something to cause me to react in anger that can put you prtially responsible for the fight/incident, or mitigate any sentencing I get for attacking you. But with stand your ground you can do actions that make me feel concerned for my saftey and try to protect myself, but because I do, you feel threatend and shoot me.

Wow! When you make stuff up like that, it sounds bad.

She must be good at it having fooled so many into believing she actually knows what she is doing as a leader.
