  • 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.

Had the first term been a one off after which we retuned to more rational conduct permanently that would be more convincing. The US electorate has demonstrated we’re one election away from bot being a rational actor and its best to not depend on us.
A friend of mine lives on the Falkland Islands, and the attitude that the islanders share about Argentina is perhaps the norm now. Even if they elect someone who is happy to just coexist rather than demand that their home be turned over to Argentina they know they're potentially never more than four years (or one more implosion of the Argentine economy) away from economic sabotage, "diplomatic" childishness and attempts to spy on them ranging from the comedically inept to the downright dangerous (for the Argentines)

Does President Trump not understand the concept of 'not mine'?

Lol.

Of course he doesn't. You don't become the world's oldest tantrum-throwing toddler by having a conception of "not mine".

I'm over here worried that Trump will now think that Greenland has "Nuuks" and will use that as a pretext to invade so he can get their uuranium.

Don't be silly. Trump no longer cares about needing a pretext.
