• 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.

I never said every antibiotic works... Where did you get that?
You're myopically focusing on a treatment that, as I recall, is fairly expensive and not widely available, so 1) it's irrelevant that it's an antibiotic anyway and 2) you're treating everyone as if they have the same access and opportunity, when they don't, because America is cutthroat in its capitalism

Rule violation. You are not permitted to use the smiley in this manner.
No, that's mockworthy, you're claiming it's untested, when it most definitely is and people's choices are not an absolute in a public health emergency, so their willfullness is also worthy of mockery. Free market of ideas...you're not a communist are you?

So ask a qualifier that isn't dishonest in regards to how they phrased the statement. They mean don't take treatment from a hospital if you have symptomatic covid, unless you're so deluded you don't even believe it's real, in which case you're already digging your own grace
No that's not what was said. The implication was do not use the hospital at all if you don't have the jab.

It doesn't matter if you think it's mock worthy... it's a rule violation.

Not necessarily: maybe don't assume people's intentions from a limited exchange and have some intellectual curiosity instead of arrogantly assuming more than you have a basis for.

Of course, mocking is sarcastic.
So just play victim now? Are you that thin skinned to not be able to deal with someone satirically responding to your allegations with something that is meant to point out the problems in your argument? Sarcasm is not innately malicious, don't behave in a way that suggests you can't have any kind of civil discussion without reducing it to someone supposedly "insulting" you rather than insulting your argument (which is not you)

For many it's much shorter. Like days after.
And that's within expectations, the most in terms of these ill effects is about 2 months and we have studies on that that are pretty significant because of better record keeping in the modern age and unprecedented amounts of vaccinations, numbering in the billions worldwide.

So you admit that antibiotics only have a particular application at best and that they are not necessarily the frontline treatment? And also that it isn't necessarily available universally.

Then it also doesn't matter if you think it's a rule violation, demonstrate that it is rather than just being a legalist.

I never claimed anything but that the antibiotics were a treatment for covid. So what am I supposed to be " admitting?"

When there's thosands of stories it might be time to start listening.

There are thousands of stories featuring a killer with a hook.

But that's different, because one of those actually happened to a friend of a friend...
