• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Saturn's rings to disappear in six months?

I opened up a new tab; and this article from Earth News popped up on my home page. Looks like there are a lot of News reporters out to capitalize on this clickbait scheme.

They are going to "vanish," but only because they are going to go edge-on and create the illusion of disappearing.

They will return to view in 2032.

The reporter at WION said that they would return to view in November of 2025; and she said that this view is a good opportunity for astronomers to study the planet.

Saturn's rings will disappear in March of 2025. However they will return in November of 2025, before they disappear again forever.
So that was a lie.

It was clickbait.
I think there's a line between making people curious to click on something by stating truthful, but incomplete information, and flat out lying to them for clicks.

I'm not talking about the video or its makers, I'm talking about HARK!. He made a statement about the video that is patently untrue. He didn't even put it in a quotation box or marks, so I can only infer that it is his own statement.
