  • 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.

Why did he leave, in your opinion?

He suffered from depression, a bad family situation, and drug addiction. Sadly, people in such conditions often have tragic ends.

Now, why don't you tell me, in your opinion, what the quick and easy answer is?

That's some crack investigative work there.
Ain't my job to investigate.

But as a believer in the Bible, I don't have to accept those who say it was depression and/or drugs.

And for the record, I'm thankful for the likes of Frances Kelsey, who didn't accept the findings of her peers.

She didn't cave in to scientists and, in fact, ordered them back into the lab, or she wasn't going to give her approval on something they came up with.

Or epilepsy or leprosy, either...

You don't have to accept anything for any reason...

Didn't cave in to the other scientists, you mean -- right?

This is an excellent example of a good scientist standing up to corporate greed.

Go Team Science!
Ya ... Go Team Science.

Right around the wishes of the FDA.

The U.S. FDA refused to approve thalidomide for marketing and distribution. However, the drug was distributed in large quantities for testing purposes,

Thank you, Team Science, for respecting your own government enough to allow Thalidomide on U.S. soil. :doh:

The article goes on to mention that, as a result of this testing, 17 children were born deformed.

You miss the point.

She was a scientist: she (a scientist) fought the FDA. It was a scientist (i.e. her) that stopped the drug from being used.

You seem to have not realised that SHE was a SCIENTIST. So we can conclude that science self corrected itself.

Do you see, now?

Scientists vs. government... how did you think that would end?

The anti-vaxxers rack up a higher body count that that monthly... since when did you care about 17?
