  • 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 have been watching and think it is pretty good. Fair and impartial, an honest look at an imperfect man.

I was wondering what people thought of his handling the Cuban missile crisis. The documentary presented three options: Attack Cuba, bomb missile sites and naval blockade the island. Kennedy went with blockade and negotiation with Nikita Khrushchev. A deal is made to remove the missiles but the U.S. also withdraws missiles from Turkey. What do you think Trump or Biden would do?

We just got through with the Stephen King series 11.22.63. It was very good. It's about a guy who goes back in time to try and stop the Kennedy assassination. Things don't work out as expected.

It's a little light on some facts but it does use the main threads of the conspiracy theories about the assassination.
