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.

The thumbnail uses a photo of Clint Eastwood, but the situation itself is not real
This kind of thumbnail is extremely common on YouTube. Here’s what’s going on:1. The image of Clint Eastwood is real
It’s a genuine photo of him — usually taken from a movie still, interview, or press image.2. The scenario is fake
Clint Eastwood did not tell Joel Osteen anything, and Joel Osteen did not tell Clint Eastwood “Get out of here, old man.” The thumbnail is designed to look dramatic, but it’s not depicting a real event.3. The text is added for clickbait
The phrase “GET OUT OF HERE, OLD MAN” is not something Clint Eastwood said in real life. It’s simply added to provoke curiosity.4. The two men were never in that moment together
The thumbnail is a composite — two unrelated images placed side by side to create a fake confrontation.5. The video itself is a storytelling/dramatization channel
These channels often use:- celebrity faces
- dramatic titles
- emotional thumbnails …to get views, even when the story is fictional or loosely inspired.
Searched MS Copilot and this is what it came up with. Hope this helps you.

Thanks.
It didn't sound real. Even though the message was one that I agree with. I never heard of a "thumbnail". I can't keep up with the slang. I gave up trying to when "new words" to describe old things became popular. Word!
