  • 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.

    Official Call For Papers

    All you'll get is a heap of bible quotes and far-fetched interpretations.

    Hovind's lies exposed.

    "Park owner pleads not guilty to tax fraud: Evangelist says he's owned by God" Hovid knew fully well what he was doing and the latter part is just a lame excuse, part of his act.

    Obama in Berlin!

    I really find it mind-boggling to see when people persistently cling to the idea that Germans somehow wish ill on the USA... You're one of our major trade partners, we want you to prosper so we can sell you our cars (*), dammit! (*) and solar panels

    Obama in Berlin!

    I'm not upset because you misunderstood but annoyed because you discarded most of what I said by abruptly cutting off the quote. And I, as a person living here, tell you that you are wrong. I don't know how you came to that conclusion, but it's definitely not based on facts. If there is any...

    Obama in Berlin!

    You were giving your explanation for why people in France and Germany "hate" America. Now you're just trying to downplay your lack of knowledge. You believe that the reason why people in Germany "hate" the USA because of your military bases here, but your belief that there are only four bases in...

    Obama in Berlin!

    You said: "People of France, Germany and other failing European states hate the US- when we have not attacked them. They hate us for our cold war military bases there. For them, it is a reminder of dependence- a dependence they are resentful for." So what I'm supposed to believe is that you...

    Obama casts self as 'world citizen,' but will in play in America?

    Well, the LA Times (!) has an update for you, published today, but since I still have less than 50 posts and therefore can't give you a link, just google for "In study, evidence of liberal-bias bias". It's the first article. Same procedure, google for "Obama wins hearts, not minds, in Berlin"...

    Obama in Berlin!

    The USA don't have any bases in France and in Germany, most people lament the USA's decision to close bases and to transfer troops to other countries as a sign of the growing alienation between our countries that has devastated the communities that have grown around those bases in the past 50...

    Obama casts self as 'world citizen,' but will in play in America?

    Ah, I see you removed your claim that there are studies proving that Fox News is more in the center than other news corporations. Decided to play safe, eh? And I also find it remarkable that to you "everyone who doesn't like Fox News" = "far left wing". Their articles have big, eye-catching...

    Obama casts self as 'world citizen,' but will in play in America?

    Ah, Fox News..."fair and balanced"... The first news website I checked out after watching Obama's speech yesterday was theirs and the first thing I noticed was how their selection of photos is focused on showing photos of Obama, not the huge crowd that attended his speech, as if not showing...
