  • 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

Taiwan is in some serious trouble if she becomes the next president. They're in some serious trouble anyway, but China is for now at least semi-deterred.

Considering how well spoken she is 90% of the time, that's the ONLY reason speech this shunted is considered a "hard stumble".

Her stumbling is stunted stumbling speech is normal for 90% of elected reps.

America is too used to old men "uh..."ing their way through rambling diatribes...
