    Ban assault rifles!

    If you are some paranoid person who feels that they need 30-round magazines to protect your family, you are exactly the person who shouldn't be allowed to have multiple 30-round mags lying around your house. It's been proven over and over that parents don't seem to be able to keep their...

    There has not been a legitimate war since WW2

    That was the last time that Congress approved a declaration of war. Every "war" we have entered since then has been an illegal invasion of a sovereign nation. Whether or not you like or dislike the politics of the nations that we have invaded. We had no legal right to do so. That is why US...

    Question about life support

    I was watching a detective show where a woman was in a car accident and on life support........... This scenario made me wonder what we believe on this topic As pro-life people do we support keeping alive a person who can neither breathe nor produce a heartbeat without machines? Especially...

    Hemlock

    I have been watching a show on an Amazon British channel called "Mr Brown." In the show I am watching now, a guy has committed suicide with Hemlock the same way Socrates did. I guess it is a slow acting poison and one can be coherant for a couple days before the paralysis overtakes the heart...

    What do you think of "The Patriot Act" 22 years later?

    Hastily passed 45 days after 9/11 in the name of national security, the Patriot Act was the first of many changes to surveillance laws that made it easier for the government to spy on ordinary Americans by expanding the authority to monitor phone and email communications, collect bank and credit...

    German far right picks EU lead candidate, wants European anti-migrant ‘fortress’

    Shoul we be nervous about the European Right-Wing growing in popularity. The "right" in the USA usually means "Republican" but what about the European "right?" Last century it went as far a "Nazism/Fascist-ism" What the article pointed out was the speed in which it took over. Now it seems...

    What made the Chinese form of Communism work while Russia'a failed?

    I think it's because China allows a certain level of private enterprise. Although the government ultimately owns everything, they allow for people to pass their government owned lease to their children. Businesses while ultimately controlled and regulated by the government are given leeway for...

    Just thinking about the ol' WMD situation

    I recently saw a Matt Damon film about the early days of the WMD search. I'm just wondering, was anybody ever held accountable for the lies they told while starting an illegal war against another sovereign nation? They seemed to tie it in with 9/11 and did a double attack on Iraq and...

    Who would win in a fight? Jason Bourne or James Bond

    I always thought James Bond was the ultimate government agent but I just watched the Bourne films back to back and I think he is the only character that can match him. I'm sure other characters could compete with them but in the cinema world, even though Jason Bourne is probably the baddest...

    Is it a sin to watch sex scenes in a commercial show?

    I was watching Marco Polo on Netflix. It's a story about Marco Polo of course but there are a lot of sex scenes in it. It's really a part of the story because it shows how the Khans and Nobels kept huge harams and multiple wives. It shows how the women manipulated important people and...

    When we die are we just dead?

    I love and believe in God and Jesus. However lately, I have been plagued by the notion that when we die we are just dead, game over, nice knowing ya. Nobody has ever been able to come back from heaven and tell us what it's like. I started thinking that we made up heaven because we want to...

    Who is your favorite Saint?

    I chose St Thomas the Apostle. I had a Pastor who used to call me "Doubting Thomas" because of the way I questioned things. I was kind of a rebel. It stuck with me because I likely would have been the same way when I saw the risen Christ. I would have wanted to see some kind of proof to...

    The Great Replacement

    I guess the Buffalo shooter was heavy into this theory. I am wondering how many of the CF faithful are proponents of this theory. Do you believe in Tucker's Great Replacement theory? If so, why? If not, why? The “great replacement” theory, in simple terms, states that welcoming immigration...

    Hypothetical question about ending one's life..

    I just watched this movie about the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. In it, the team that was to do the job were all given a cyanide capsule in case they got caught. The Nazis pretty much broke every prisoner they tortured so they knew if they got caught a lot more people would end up dead...

    What do you think of gerrymandering?

    Is it legitimate to carve up a district into pieces making their votes ineffective in the new districts? It seems to me it can turn the tide of a state's election Why or why not should this tactic be practiced and who benefits the most? Interesting article I read about the topic The maps are...

    Digital COVID certificate....Could it happen in the United States?

    The EU has created an app that tracks your COVID status. That app is then used to verify your covid status. It won't say if you are vaccinated or just up to date on testing but you can't get on a plane or in many other places without it. Would a system like that ever fly in the USA? I don't...

    I changed my stance on gun control!!!

    I used to own a bunch of guns. I ended up in a situation where I could not store them so I end up having my lawyer dispose of them. After 5 or so years of being gun-free, I became more sympathetic to the gun control crowd. I had no guns but I felt pretty safe anyway with 911 only minutes...
