• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I'm talking about the potential for it... Are you not for doing all we can to insure the integrity of the vote?
Best way to prevent any possibility of voter fraud is to do away with elections. Are you not for doing all we can to insure the integrity of the vote?

If there were actually an issue, rather than some asserted random potential, maybe these concerns would be taken more seriously.

I'm not sure. I just watched it once and you know how that is, plus it was a few days ago. Watch it if you can, even if you don't agree, it's entertaining. My take, as I said earlier, is the potential for abuse, detected or not.

The potential for abuse does not mean it happened.

And I have watched a conservitive review of it, and they point out that they did not show one person going to multiple boxes which they should be able to do with many hours of CTV videos they got. But they don't.

They need to give out the data they have and show that there is at least one mule.

The review is 20 minutes.

Perhaps we should wait and see what the FBI says about the info given them. That might give these folks enough time to recoup the cost of the vid.

Given that this was behind a paywall, I think they have gotten enough money.

Even better would be building a Death Star to destroy the planet. Then having the Death Star self-destruct, so the human race goes extinct. No humans=no fraud. Why are people not for doing all they can to insure (sic) the integrity of the vote?!

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. -- Carl Sagan

Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan


Notice your two quotes from Sagan can also contradict each other as principles by which to live and think; who of us is capable of grasping the Universe as it really is? We know very little. Healthy skepticism of our own "grasp of the Universe as it really is", is also important.

A) They are in your signature, and thus, included in what got posted, though you did not mean them to be part of the argument of your post. But the point is moot.
B) They work nicely together in figuring out reality, if, as Sagan seems to think, he has a clear view of reality. But none of understands even what little we see of the whole picture. Skepticism of self is a good policy.
