  • 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.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

It looks as if "Allah" is going to allow Iran to return to the desert from which it came.... :(

The dark truth about Iran's water: Why the nation's aquifers are collapsing​


And it looks like Afghanistan isn't faring much better:

The world has entered a new era of 'water bankruptcy' with irreversible consequences​


(shrug) But then, I guess if both of them end up in a perpetual severe drought, it'll lead to a reduction in the amount of mischief they inflict upon the world, since they'll have to spend their time finding liquid to drink instead of indulging in state-sponsored Islamic terrorism. [facetiousness] What a pity! [/facetiousness] ;)

I don't know if I would put too much credence in this story. They had another story about the Ogallala aquifer on the east side of the Rockies and they reused a few pictures. Parts of the Ogallala are in deep trouble while a few others are regenerating slowly. Then there's California which is WAY over it's water budget and can't even put out fires. It's not just Iran (and Afghanistan). One of the few countries that has paid attention to scarce water is Israel. It's neighbors not so much.

Israel is also the only Middle Eastern country to use de-salinization plants on a large scale; they use de-salted seawater for most of their agricultural needs, which has turned them into the biggest supplier of citrus fruits to mainland Europe. :)

Israel has figured out how to make a paradise in the desert. Surrounding countries hate them for it.
