• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

The nature of technology is the nature of the tool. To be used for all possible things it can be. When you speak of many humans and many choices it is neither the good, the bad or the neutral, it is in fact all three. All guesses are right about it along a long enough timeline. So it is that with technology you should always have plans for the bad scenarios that may occur.

It is difficult to guess what technology start up will be successful and what one will fail.

Perhaps then you need to read human nature. Which is a puzzling thing, people tend to try to make sense, as well as basing some of what they do on emotions. It's not too strange that knowing people makes you good in business.

The nature of technology is the nature of the tool. Yes. There are tools created for evil that have been used for good and visa versa. To be used for all possible things it can be. When you speak of many humans and many choices it is neither the good, the bad or the neutral, it is in fact all three. OK. All guesses are right about it along a long enough timeline. So it is that with technology you should always have plans for the bad scenarios that may occur. And how exactly would you plan for every evil use of even the simplest thing? Can I poke you in the eye with a toothpick? Like you say. Inventions are not good or bad, or neutral, they just are. It's the use that is either good, bad or neutral. Morality in not in things, it is in us.
