  • 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.

Yeah, I don't get it. In rugby league for example if there's an accidental clash of heads then the player(s) can be removed from the game for an HIR (head injury assesment). They may have to sit out the rest of the game and if they are concussed they may be sidelined for a couple of weeks.

But in UFC and boxing the aim of the sport is to inflict brain damage on your opponent.

I really think we turned a corner as a species when "slap fighting" became popular as a spectator sport.

In UFC and boxing, there is actual technique in trying to not getting brain injury and there are ways to win besides giving the opponent a brain injury.

In slap fighting, receiving and giving brain injuries is the entire point.

Maybe we'll have one of those competitions for the 300 year anniversary.

I seen a picture at the White House. It looks the grass is gone in front. Of the White House. I thought project would be a lot smaller. And gone, by the time this crazy event was over. I would hope it bring money to the American people. But it's like it's costing Americans millions. While making the White House looking like trash. The White House supposed to look good respectful home. I feel like the United States is a clown show.

Perhaps they just cut it out and will put it back after the event so people don't trample it down.

Or maybe they'll gild the ground. Who knows with this crazy world.

Maybe they'll just leave it there.

"Well, they never took it down. And, you know, we're building something in front of the White House that's quite attractive to a lot of people.

"It's going to have the big UFC fight on June 14th. And I'm looking at it and maybe we'll never, ever take it down."

Today is NWD!

New word day.
'Tumbrels achieved lasting historical notoriety during the French Revolution (1789–1799), when they were requisitioned to transport political prisoners and aristocrats to the guillotine for public execution, symbolizing the era's Reign of Terror and mass condemnations.'
