  • 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

I'm genuinely baffled that you didn't know that.

That's the reason I always post it as NATO/OTAN because of the French. There's a NATO/OTAN base near Norfolk/Virginia Beach that I am something at when I'm not protecting America from the drugs and terrorists from Venezuela. The French are always drinking wine and eating snails with pasta and wine sauce while mumbling to themselves on how great and powerful France is.

I'm sure they are twirling their mustaches also and doing the "hohoho hoo!" laughter?

And nukes. Come on dude, you just casually suggested mass murder.
I sometimes wonder what the electromagnetic pulse feels like in a nuclear explosion. Some say it's less rapid than alternating current, but I just want to find out. Because I already know how AC feels.

Unless someone has a pacemaker, you won't notice an EMP. Well other than your electronics collapsing and Alexa stops running the house.

I thought the French were too grumpy to laugh.

Don't let Alexa in? (Install)
Well it was more of a general anti-AI sentiment from me. Alexa isn't widely used here as far as I know. But planning on switching to Linux because Microsoft tries to force Copilot down my throat.

Oh come on, what is so bad about Copilot doing the heavy lifting for you so you can have more free time to explore the other great Microsoft products that were developed for consumers.

Touched a nerve, did I?

One of the many reasons I'm here is precisely because of posts like that and posters like you. Your mask off moments are so revealing. There's no hate quite like Christian love.
That’s why I stick around here. It’s good to know how some of these people really think and feel.

As opposed to the people who neither think or feel?

Today's Carrier Strike Group is a lot smaller than the Carrier Battle Group of the 1990s. Hardly an armada.
Hardly? You better change your tune, mister.

Trump says 'massive Armada' heading to Iran, warns time is running out for nuclear deal​

The president advised Iran make a deal or "the next attack will be far worse."

"Like with Venezuela, it is, ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary," Trump wrote in a social media post.

I have already been sent to the bench and will be in Virginia soon. They say for training.

I see no Christian love in Trump administration. I have no clue how any one, that is Christian, still defend Trump.

There's been a Carrier Battle/Strike Group in or around the Persian/American Gulf II since the 1980s 90% of the time.

In the US Navy, finding out you are being deployed to the AOR is about as common as finding out Friday comes after Thursday.
It’s a very adequately sized Carrier Strike Group with tons of personality.
