  • 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.

Calling her "excellent" and "fine" is not the same as calling her his favorite.

You can argue that he didn't mention his favorite actresses when asked about an actress "he loved". You'd be silly in doing so but you definitely can.

Fact is they're not necessarily one and the same. Deal with it.

This talk, though, is distracting from the real issue. Streep had no business bad-mouthing the President Elect at the awards show.

And yet the people present at that show obviously did consider it fair 'business'.

Streep had every right to speak her mind. I also have every right to speak mine, when I point out the selective outrage, when she gives a standing ovation to a child rapist.

Your question is nonsensical, since he doesn't have a fragile ego.

Your post is nonsensical, since I wasn't asking a question, I was stating a fact. Thanks for making me LOL.

Can't be Bill Clinton. His daughter isn't hot. I can recall when people use to say Chelsea would "grow into her looks." Nope.
Now that sounds just like a Trump comeback. No wonder you don't see anything wrong with Trump's responses to criticism.

Sounds just like the way he would evaluate a woman's worth.

What are the rules for what can be said at that awards ceremony? How are you privy to those rules?

Pick up your award. Thank those who helped you win the award. Get off the stage.

Course, if you're no-talent like Streep, you should just decline the award.

Welp. The people who actually have a clue about talent disagree with the man who can't use Google. She's gotten more Oscar nominations than anybody else in history - more than any other actress & any actor.

A fact which does not necessarily mean she has talent as an actress. The Oscars are highly political.

At least I'm not ignorant about which awards show she most recently mouthed-off on. It wasn't the Oscars friend. :D

A fact that means that people who have a clue about acting recognize her talent in acting. The Oscars are the most prestigious awards which is why I pointed out that she's the most celebrated. She was at the Golden Globes receiving a lifetime distinction honour. She's won awards at other awards shows too.

I'm not ignorant about the awards show where she spoke honestly. You really need to work on your reading skills.

As expected you will not answer either question.

Cool! So when exactly are peoplw permitted to speak critically of Trump. Are we required to wait for him and all his followers to put on their "aluminum hats of courage"?


As if presidents have never been critiqued at an awards show before. How supremely childish this behaviour is of a president. Im shocked that he actually has support through all of this.

156 awards guy. If you think she doesnt have talent you are not good at recognizing talent (hmm.... And supporting trump as president..... Mayne that makes sense.

You dont have to like her body of work but to say she has no talent, thats silly.

That isn't what Cimorene said or even implied.

You can order Reading Comprehension Skill Sheets and Speed and Reading Comprehension books from the A Beka Academy in Pensacola, FL. if you need help with this ability.

Everything is political to some degree, even religion. So, which actors do you think have talent?
