  • 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

It's up to you if you want to believe that or not.

Obviously Nabobalis does.

Never got a response on this.

Waiting for a "you're right, I phrased that rather dishonestly" or something like it...

If that's an O-ring, Rick, did it malfunction with respect to the forces acting on it, or in spite of the forces acting on it?

If it malfunctioned with respect to the forces acting on it, then why is it being called a 'malfunction?'

Applying your definition of "malfunctioning", there´s literally no way for anything to ever malfunction (except when miracles occur).

(On another note - and maybe that´s your point - saying "it malfunctioned" is silent about the planning/construction errors that may have lead to the malfunctioning. Depending on who says it, it can easily be heard as the attempt of rejecting accountability.)

You mean it's up to me if I want to believe you or not.

To think, if I because a Christian, there's a chance my faith would cause me to gloat over the loss of human life in the same way you do.
