  • 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.

A History of Philosophy: Albert the Great to Duns Scotus Volume 2, Part II by Frederick Copleston, S.J. I came across the whole series years ago for little to nothing and have been slowly working through it.

I am re-reading Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

It is certainly dated. The Soviet Union still exists, not to mention in 2001 having a base on the moon and a manned mission to the Saturn system. But it is still an excellent read and does a good job of portraying a Kardashev Type III civilization.

It is different from the Kubrick film. The spacecraft Discovery is head to Saturn, not Jupiter. The Monolith is not near Jupiter's moon Io but on Saturn's Iapetus

Does anyone else keep a paper and pen beside them when reading things just in case you come across anything noteworthy you want to record down?

I did in the past but I moved to a digital commonplace book instead. Evernote works well for that.
