• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Trump fired the entire National Science Board yesterday!

Then get to it.

What's stopping them from doing their job?

A lack of funds?
Yeah, a lack of funds because Trump stopped handing out legally authorized funding.
Then they should just give all their research over to someone who can do it.
Those people don't have the funds either for the same reason. Plus other people have different research project ideas.
Unless, of course, they either shredded or burned their work to prevent being victimized by PUBLISH OR PERISH.
You clearly didn't read what I told you about the meaning of "publish or perish". It's clearly just another slogan you think you can hurl against your enemies -- in this case the entire scientific community.
How is it China is a close second to u.s., despite the fact that they don't have this NSx outfit?
They have their own "outfit".
Why is it we need it so badly, yet other countries don't?
This is why no one wants to talk to you. You make claims about things you don't understand because you are angry about something.

Taxation without representation is tyranny.

Those people don't have the funds either for the same reason.

Their representative(s), who pay their salary, said "Enough"?

Plus other people have different research project ideas.

Too much research going on at once?

You clearly didn't read what I told you about the meaning of "publish or perish". It's clearly just another slogan you think you can hurl against your enemies -- in this case the entire scientific community.

Which part of the entire scientific community is immune to PUBLISH OR PERISH?

They have their own "outfit".

What's wrong with ours?

Too much research going on?

Are we doing more research than our tax dollars can handle?

This is why no one wants to talk to you.

Because I point out things they didn't consider?

You make claims about things you don't understand ...

Is that a foreign concept to you?

... because you are angry about something.

Yup.

I get upset at times dealing with peoples' mental blocks.
