• 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 think liberals are even starting to catch on to this climate red herring.

I just watched a movie where Samuel Jackson (it's a terrible movie, do not watch it) ... but Jackson basically said climate change is a red herring on environmental issues.

And it is. There are real environmental things people could be concerned about. C02 isn't one of them. It's the least concerning issue, if it is an issue at all.

Yet the least important issue, was pressed to the forefront above all other issues. Makes no sense.

Yet if you want to have a new government tax, and a reason to sell credits to corporations and dole out credits to corporations you favor, and restrict other corps that you don't like, it's a pretty good system for politicians to manage.

Just think, when they get elected by a corp, they can ensure that their competitors get less credits and the other businesses that support them get more. In this sense, the credit would be worth more than the economic value of the credit, because it gives political control to an individual to use on a quid-pro-quo basis.

That, and the philosophy of higher taxes for all, always seems to be the 2 main points behind CO2 concerns.

In some jurisdictions they are even calling environment ministries by a name with "...and climate change" affixed, thereby conditioning people to the idea of politicians being given a free ride while putting up taxes.
