  • 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

For those who are interested, this is Nobel Prize season. The science prizes will be announced next week. Thompson Reuters, the technical information service, is predicting this years likely prizewinners in Chemistry, Physics, Medicine/Physiology, and Economics. I think the coolest work was done by Andre Geim of the University of Manchester. He discovered and analyzed graphene. A sheet of carbon atoms arranged in benzene rings one atom thick. Among other cool properties, it's thought to be the strongest substance ever discovered.

The TR group apparently has a pretty good record for predicting winners. We'll see.
