  • 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

A snowstorm is about to come. We can expect Stable Genius Trump not to know the difference between climate and weather.
And we have to expect all his minions to parrot the same error.
Here is a link to my thread that is not deliberately politicized for absolutely no reason at all.


I know this may be extreme for some, but not everything is about Trump.

I wonder how many will declare psychological damage and developmental issues from having to confine themselves to home. Usually two or three days of winter weather are do-able, and are a good excuse for neighbours to come together and party, not self destruct. But pray for the homeless and the unprepared , and of course those who think their age is not a limitation for snow shoveling..

Probably 100% of people with septum rings.

Well, this one is.
Trump will exploit this to expand his narrative that Global Warming is a hoax. He has done this multiple times, including during his speech at the UN.
Trump has reversed or blocked multiple projects to use renewable energy. That is very political. So don't expect one side use politics and the other side not pointing this out.

The curious thing is that I've seen more local snowfalls with measurable amounts in the latter half of my life than I have in the first half.

As for ice storms, I much prefer snow to ice. My first all-nighter was getting the lights back on after an ice storm. OTOH, the last big snowfall we had didn't knock out power at all. The weirdest ice storm I saw was when temperatures hovered right at freezing at ground level, but were just cold enough that tree tops and tall structures got a coating of ice.

Pro tip: Don't park under a tall structure during an ice storm. If the structure doesn't fall, when it starts to thaw the ice will. Trust me on this.

That's ok. Larry Fink of Blackrock at Davos this week plainly stated that wind and solar alternatives, of which they profit massively from, were of no use to the elite due to their unreliability as a power source for them. They would remain using traditional sources of oil and gas for themselves to maintain their data centers (their power over the people) and the like. So it seems the unreliable alternatives are good enough for the peasants, but not those in control who still expect to enjoy what we took for granted for the last 80 years, while for the masses those days of comfort an security are over. Total dependency on the elite to provide for us has put us in this position. We have given up the right to independence and will reap the results.
