• 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.

Apparently China, South Korea and Japan are putting aside about 3000 years of mutual hostility with a free trade agreement (and a joint response to tariffs)

Who knows, maybe this rapprochement might be what gets Trump his Nobel Peace Prize (because "fixing the Russian invasion of Ukraine appears to be dead in the water)?

Trump might have to make some adjustments to his trade policy, and he's picking a bad time to do it because of the global synchronized recession. Everyone wants to protect their industries, including America. For the last 8 years, we've been expanding our manufacturing, and we need tariffs, but I can't see how blanket tariffs will be helpful. need to wait and see.

Notice the announcement comes from China and not South Korea and Japan. Both of these countries may be hedging their trade positions given the America's backward looking position....but I would wait to see their take on the Chinese announcement.
