  • 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.

Because they are dumb questions that do not deserve the respect of a response.
That's a value judgement and assertion - not a decent, substantive argument.

It is like playing chess with a pigeon.
That's an assertion, and a rather rude one.

It doesn't matter how may times you win the game,
You're making more assertions.

You asserted that it doesn't matter - but the moment I showed that to some people it DOES matter because he's remaking the Whitehouse in the style of a grand ballroom straight from a Russian Tsar - you get all whiny about "race issues".

I wasn't talking about race.

I was talking about relevance.

I was saying this tacky, racist, womanising, assaulting, fraudulent, tax-avoiding felon of a man lived in a tacky gold cover over-valued "Dictator Chic" apartment - and now wants to model the East Wing after his own image.

Where's the public debate? Where's the Senate inquiry into an appropriate design? Where's the public consultation and competition with various architects? A historical review panel. I thought the grand, imperial government buildings in America were meant to be more styled by Ancient Rome than Rococo.

the will still just poop all over the board and strut around as if they won. I prefer not to play chess with pigeons. Note, I just asked a question that you refused to answer. So you can start by explaining why you do not answer questions.
Oh, you're still going on about irrelevancies. I see.
Well, I guess you've learned from the master?
When you are cornered, just declare victory.

After Carney 's speech at Davos, Trump was backed into a corner.
Too many NATO countries had said no, and sent troops up there.
Carney had declared an anti-American manifesto for the modern world to sign up to!
So what could Trump do?
He declared victory.

And YOU bring up pigeon brains? :D

He achieved nothing, and America came out of there with vastly LESS than going in!
(Less respect, and soon less trade partners.)

But he declared victory anyway.
Narcissist's gotta narc.
But inside?

Why do MAGA types never answer the question?
And here it is. Just ad a little orange and brown paint around the trimmings to the American ballroom below - and SNAP!
Because America always aspired to look like Imperial Russia? OKAY......... whatever dude.

Thanks. I get a good laugh every time I see this inane comparison.

In other related news, most ballrooms look quite similar. Film at 11.

President Trump is only copying his own good taste.
