  • 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.

Hi guys! Another vegetarian here! :)

I'm trying to be a vegetarian, any tips on how to convince my parents? :)

Well, first of all you'll have to STAY a vegetarian. When they see that you are serious about vegetarianism, they will respect your choice. If you are lucky, they will consider vegetarianism themselves. But remember that lifestyle issues are hard to change, so don't give up if there seemingly are no change on their part for a while.

It's calorie dense, very fatty, unethical, average protein source...

Meanwhile tofu has very low calorie, very lean, ethical, one of the best protein sources...

Tofu is awesome!

All of my life. I was raised vegetarian and changed to a vegan diet when I was in my early 30s. I've never regretted the decision to eat ethically, and live better for it.
