  • 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.

Hi all,
this is the best punchline of the last few months!

To engage in this thread please watch all 18 minutes of our ABC's deep dive investigative journalist - Matt Bevan.​


You'll learn a lot about rare-earths, China, Australia, California, and Texas.

And you'll learn about smart and silly.

You want people to watch an 18 minute video to engage in a thread which doesn't even specify what it is about?
It's about a guy named Matt, of course.

It's about rare earths - and how incredibly hard they are to extract at an economic price because despite the 'gold rush' for them - they are not that valuable.

It's about how Ukraine is a totally useless place to go looking for them! You may as well dig up your own backyard soil because they're in that as well. Just not concentrated enough to make it financially competitive with the cheap way China does it.

It's about how 'smart' this Trump Regime is - and how if Zelenskyy HAD said yes - please - give away 20% of my country and you can have all the rare-earths you want you silly, silly man - I'm not sure who would have been the bigger con-artist?

(OK - just joking for hyperbole. OF COURSE it's Trump trying to get the western world to give 20% of Ukraine over to a dictator. But what's new?)
