  • 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

    What would your deal be for Greenland?

    Uncannily enough I got the twitter AI (that seems to have created it's own problems for twitter) to produce this early last week:

    Is Europe facing civilizational erasure?

    Am I the only one who sees the hypocrisy of the right in the US throwing its toys out of the pram over "foreign interference in US politics" while Corporal Maybelline shills for AfD, Reform etc?

    Dear Pete Hegseth, I’m Grateful the Japanese Navy Spared My Grandfather’s Life

    There was only one instance of a U-boat killing shipwreck survivors in the entire war - the captain was eventually caught, tried, convicted, tied to a post and shot for war crimes

    World Cup in the US?

    Breaking news: Eric Carle (author and illustrator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar) wins the FIFA literature prize I think this whole debacle can be summed up by some of the comments on the BBC live text updates page: "18:01 GMT I started this live text two hours ago." "18:05 GMT This has been...

    Historical ICE raid in Georgia

    Ah why let minor matters like that get in the way when you're busy shooting your manufacturing investment strategy in the foot with both barrels.

    Historical ICE raid in Georgia

    That ought to really upset the judge who signed it (and the collective judicial benches around the country) - the sheer mob-handedness that they turned up with is utterly inconsistent with trying to find four Hispanic people, unless they wanted to give them more than a bus each.

    Historical ICE raid in Georgia

    You can chuck randos at it once. Just like any vehicle can be used as a minesweeper once. It's not as if lithium-ion batteries aren't notoriously tetchy if they aren't treated with respect. Just like overseas investments - the odds of being able to even find 300+ more South Korean engineers who...

    Former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters faces possible prosecution after supporting banned Palestine Action

    And what powers do they have? Other than determining which restaurants/fast food places are Halal, and acting as voluntary courts of arbitration? How different is it from the London Beth Din?

    World Cup in the US?

    I'm sure FIFA aren't worried - it's written into the agreements for hosting that if a host stadium is unable to meet FIFA's requirements on safety or accessibility then FIFA have the right to move match venues on 90 days notice. And I've seen a few things online about contingency meetings and...

    MS-13 Gang Member Kilmar Abrego Garcia to be Deported to African Country of Eswatini

    The Swazi are a nice enough lot, certainly more socially accepting than the CECOT gulag in El Salvador

    Working Class Ditching Dem Party In Droves As Some Say It’s ‘Fighting For Everybody Else’ Besides Americans

    The below image was (as in isn't any more) the "Who We Serve" page on the DNC website in the run-up to the election last year. The more observant of you might notice which demographic isn't who they serve...

    Trump federalizing DC police, deploying National Guard in capital crime crackdown

    Given that it's in DC, I'm counting down the hours before some idiot in a tactical vest and mask does a full whoopsie* and harasses/detains someone on a diplomatic passport...

    Trump federalizing DC police, deploying National Guard in capital crime crackdown

    Does having elected a narcissist with delusions of competence, with a cabinet where loyalty to Dear Leader is more important than any measure of practical skill, experience or sanity, count as an emergency in this context?

    Kilauea Volcano is spectacular today.

    If it's chucking relatively heavy lava a thousand feet up then presumably the ash is going a lot higher. I'm surprised I can't find any flight restrictions online? Sounds like it's almost inviting another Speedbird 9 incident.
