  • 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.

Xayaburi, Laos​


The Thai developer of the US$ 3.5 billion Xayaburi hydropower dam (10% completed) says construction has prompted concerns from Cambodia and Vietnam that it will damage the ecology and livlihood of the region. The report argues that a fish-pass system will be included in the dam that will permit "passage in up and downstream directions for all breeds of river fish. Its width is large enough to accommodate passage also of big fish. The fish will be attracted
by the flows created by the system; they will follow them and swim in upstream direction."​

Others have argued that the impact of the dam on the Mekong River has not been sufficiently studied,
especially given limited knowledge of the way various species of fish may interact with a fish-pass system.​

ZIMBABWE
A 100-trillion-dollar bill, it turns out, is worth about $5.​

That's the going rate for Zimbabwe's highest denomination note, the biggest ever produced for legal tender—and a national symbol of monetary policy run amok. At one point in 2009, a hundred-trillion-dollar bill couldn't buy a bus ticket in the capital of Harare.

But since then the value of the Zimbabwe dollar has soared. Not in Zimbabwe, where the currency has been abandoned, but on eBay. The notes are a hot commodity among currency collectors and novelty buyers, fetching 15 times what they were officially worth in circulation.
