  • 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.

You gave an example of how you'd rename the thread and said "baby" brains, which acknowledges that these little ones being murdered in cold blood are "babies".

Was that a slip of the tongue, so to speak?
No, it wasn´t. You just didn´t pay attention. I didn´t give an example of how I would rename it (I wouldn´t start such a stupid thread, anyway, and I avoid employing emotionalisms like hell). I gave an example how Autumnleaf could have named it (as I said: "he could have created a headline just as dramatic as this one"), and I simply copied his headline (corrected the spelling error) and replaced the respective part.

Yet you DID re-name it and left "babies" in it.

Was that your subconscious speaking?

Why are we arguing over what we think of something that might not be truthful when the reality of abortion is stairing at us in the face. discussing an incident and how it makes everybody feel is a good way to chase after the trails activists set out as if we were cats playing with a shoe string.

None of this would be happening if a credible source reported on it, but no one has. I've listened to Fox news, CNN, MSNBC and a host of other stations and there is never more than the videos that has anything on them at all. We know that they've been doctored or there are missing pieces in each and every one of them. That don't hold for me because I have a serious issue with deceptiveness.

I don't care for politics or idealism because of the same issues of credibility and I think it should be to everyone's interest to seek the truth. Not my truth or your truth. Not partial truths or any half measures in seeking it, because it is disrespectful to everyone including the mothers who feel that abortion is the only way.

If anyone has to resort to deception to make a point, then they have not made it. They only preach to a choir who embrace what is being said. That's not a person of any quality at all, but a pawn in another person's game.

Interesting that you left "baby" in the title you would've changed it to....
When I quote or paraphrase someone else I try to keep to his terminology and don´t superimpose my terminology upon his argument (that´s basic courtesy).
I wouldn´t have written the thread title, and I wouldn´t change it.

You do realize that engaging on this thread and reading in it will have your subconscious thinking about "babies", don't you?

Exactly. That was the purpose of the headline, and for a short moment it was successful.
Upon closer reading, though, I noticed the OP didn´t talk about babies.

Now please give it a rest.

Point remains: If the OP has a problem with the fact that fetus parts are sold, I expect him to tell me what he thinks they should do with them.

This kind of Nazi humor is how I suppose the guards kept sane at the camps.

I know a guy whose job it was to dispose of medical waste. He said at work they had sword fights with amputated limbs. When I was aghast at what he said he apologized and said he had to have a macabre sense of humor for that job to stay sane.

If they're not really people I guess its okay.
Just one time, I'd like to read a topic about abortion where Nazis don't come up. Just. One. Time.

If all I had was amateur psychoanalysis and obvious emotional appeals I wouldn't expect to convince very many people that I knew what I was talking about.
I think it's more wanting something to be true so much that reason is placed on the back burner.

murdered baby body parts?

I dunno, should they become a "product" for a HUGE business that takes "orders" for murdered babies body parts that are in high demand?

No, I spoke about parts of fetusses.You, of course, are free to call them whatever you like (as long as you don´t pretend that´s what I said).

That´s what I thought. So this thread is pointless.

No babies should be murdered and in "pieces" and "parts"

THAT is the bottom line.

Tiny babies are people too.

Can't disagree with you on that one. It would be a lot more interesting if those people could back up their opinions with anything substantive, though, rather than trying to twist everything they could to fit their predetermined agenda. But it looks like the answer is known and anything which doesn't lead there has to be ignored or attacked rather than actually thought about. Kinda makes this pointless - and since the status quo is against them, it just gets them ignored.

Repeating falsehoods over and over doesn't make them any more true.

Indubitably. There's bound to be holes found in habitual falsehoods and attempting to cover them up.

I agree.

Or, a pre-born baby with its mouth open.

Also, most abortions happen far before the "baby" even has a mouth, let alone the ability to yawn.

Or, a pre-born baby with its mouth open.

That too.
