  • 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.

these are some of the things President-elect Trump has called "overrated"
Here Are A Few More Things Donald Trump Thinks Are Overrated | The Huffington Post
Streep is one of the most lauded actresses of all-time, with 30 Golden Globes nominations and 19 Oscar nominations, and is one of only six people ever to win three or more acting honors at the Academy Awards. She’s also not the first person the president-elect has called “over-rated” on Twitter since 2012. Ahead, a complete list — including Streep, President Barack Obama, Jon Stewart, and the cast of Hamilton.

Let's be honest. She's an actress. She doesn't make a product. She exists for my entertainment. Without my dollar, she's not a millionaire. She doesn't get a big platform to use.
So she also could become President, just like the reality tv star President-elect Trump? :scratch:

The movies she makes are products. They are consumed around the world. They generate a huge amount of money for the economy. Many people work on those movies, so she aids in employment. Unlike Trump, I'm willing to bet she actually pays her taxes. Without your dollar, she'd still be a multimillionaire. She knew that Trump fans would try to boycott her, bc they are as thin skinned as he is when it comes to criticizing him, but she said what she did anyway.

She was given the big platform to use. She got to use it as she wished. The people who were actually there in front of it stood up for her. You weren't invited to be there. You can boo as loudly as you want from your couch.

Trump uses Twitter as his platform to bully & to demean people all the time. He loves throwing rocks but lives in a fragile glass mansion.

Just like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity then... oh wait.

Don't mistake products and services.

Are we moving into an Ayn Rand argument? That unless one is a "producer" (whatever the heck that means) one has no value in society?

It was a good time to tell Meryl Streep. I understand what you're saying. And I'll apologizeto those I hurt. And move on. Instead he proved everything she said. He's a bully and he's very rude to people, that get in his or not. We mean nothing to him and we might as well accept that.

It should be noted that Streep has experience portraying a classy and dignified world leader:

Have never seen a Streep performance I enjoyed. She is imho not a very good actress. She seems about the same in every one of her roles. Over-rated? Yes, I believe so.

She was great in "Out of Africa".
