  • 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.

Yea, let's make a bigger target for drones to destory. As the linked article notes, it will never be built....(and that's a good thing). Maybe to appease Trump's ego, take an existing Battleship out of mothballs...paint it gold and let it parade up and down the Chesepeake Bay.

We need to get to the bottom of why the Navy can't seem to get any significant ship built these days. That's not, strictly speaking, a service issue; that's an issue of the nation's supporting industrial structure.

Getting rid of the government owned shipyards and relying on the sweet words of the commercial shipyard lobby that guaranteed they could be faster, better, and cheaper.

He would love to, but by the time it is ready, Aryeh will be well over 80 years old.

Had some time to read up on this and Lazerpig put out a video on the topic (I'll link it below, warning, foul language aplenty)

This thing is more horrid than I thought. But it seems like the reformers are behind the design or at least involved so that explains the reason for that.
