  • 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

From here: Is Venezuela Below the Equator or Just Close Enough to Cause Confusion?

'Contrary to popular belief, Venezuela is still completely above the equator and is distinctly located in the Northern Hemisphere, albeit very near to that invisible midpoint that circles the Earth.'

Right off the bat there’s a problem. “Contrary to popular belief”. There is no proof that this is a popular belief.

It's about the same distance as say Colorado is from Mexico. But hey, at least AOC would know that.

How do you know she would know that?

Given the fact that at the same conference she mocked Marco Rubio’s claim that American cowboys descended from Spain (which is correct), I wouldn’t be so confident in that assumption.

AOC: "My favorite part was when he said that American cowboys came from Spain... I believe that Mexicans and the descendants of African enslaved peoples would like to have a word on that."

Clueless AOC stumbles at Munich: Confused about Venezuela, cowboys

Can AOC even find South America on a map?

So calling her stupid in this case would mean that anyone who thought Colorado actually bordered Mexico would be even more stupid. Especially if they were American. So...do you want to go with that argument?

The argument that she’s stupid? Yes I’ll go with that argument.

A gaff is when you say something accidentally rude; not saying something stupidly ignorant.

He is. All of his ‘accomplishments’ are inept.

When it's only one person using the word incorrectly that's not the evolution of language.

It’s not only one person using it “incorrectly”. In fact it’s been in popular use since all the way back in 2016 to describe ridiculous and incoherent speech.

Making Sense of 'Word Salad'

It describes the disordered speech of the mentally ill—but now it's also being used to describe political speeches
www.merriam-webster.com www.merriam-webster.com

Commentators on major news outlets like CNN, MSNBC, FOX and The New York Times have used it to describe the speech of those involved in politics.
