  • 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.

Eww, that is gross. We need to go back 20 or 30 years ago, where none of this woke stuff happened. Time to vote 3rd party guys.

Cute you think this wasn’t a thing 20-30 years ago, and that you think you’re finding something “gross” is a valid reason to dictate legislations, lol.

They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice.
I thought personal attacks were against the rules here.

But in any case, I guess that's all that remains if there's no coherent rational way to address the topic.

I’m pointing out that there’s no limit to what evil will be not only permitted, but celebrated.

Alex, you are letting the right wing's weird obsession with transpeople distort your politics. From posts to this to the desperate yearnings for conservative Republicans (Romney, Cheney) to run as Democrats for President.

The "Easter trans stuff" is a RW lie. Whomever it was that created "Transgender Day of Visibility" placed it on the same day each year (Mar 31st, if I recall), and had so for 20+ years. President Biden issued a proclamation for that day at least once before this year and did so again this year when that slippery, floating holiday (Easter) moved to the same day for one year and one year only. Pres. Biden also issued a statement about Easter and did not reference the day of visibility in it (or vice versa). That proclamation was not an attack on Easter. Those that tell you it is are lying to you.

As for the "woke Olympics" nonsense, that wasn't the "Last Supper", it was referencing a dining tableau from Greek art featuring the Greek gods. (The culture from which the Olympics originates.) The give away was the "blue guy" as Dionysus, the god of wine. There is no Dionysus in da Vinci's painting. In fact, da Vinci is referencing that very imagery when he reimagined the scene from the Passion of Jesus.
Yeah, the Day of Visibility was founded in 2009, but Biden could have moved the day to the summer instead, to avoid conflict with Easter, which is a 3% probability per year, or he could have announced the trans stuff on March 31 of 2023 instead of March 31, 2024. Both parties have lost their classiness over the past 20 years.

You can go to my Demonic Olympics Intro thread, if you want the Olympics Ceremony cleared up. The IOC apologized for references to the Last Supper. The intro was partially Greek in style, and partially referencing the Last Supper.

Uh huh. Gender affirming care can include any of those things. The doctors recommend what they conclude is the most appropriate treatment for the situation. Gender reassignment surgery is very rarely if ever going to be appropriate for little kids.

Agreed. However, the legislation absolutely leaves the door open for a child to come to Minnesota to have gender reassignment surgery.

It still is a medical decisions reached by parents and doctors. Even if you think they're wrong, taking away their right to that decision absolutely is a pretty big step.

By who?

If it is posters in this thread, I return to my original point that this is just a personal attack in place of a reasonable discussion.

If it isn't posters in this thread, it's off topic.

I think you don't get it Alex. The day of visibility isn't Biden's day to move. He could have not recognized it, but he couldn't move it. (And he *did* recognize it in 2023 and possibly 2022 and 21, I don't recall. It is an annual thing, but predictable.) The "controversy" is a combination of paranoia and gaslighting by the RWers that want you to overweight a very minor issue and ignore issues where there positions are much more unpopular.

Generally only against MAGA people and evangelicals. It's perfectly fine to demonize and defame anyone else.

Enforcing somebody’s interpretation of their religion on somebody else’s child is not what DCYF/CPS is for.

I know. It’s to prevent child abuse. I can’t think of anything more abusive than mutilating a child’s body.

Until another religion does it to you, of course. Something tells me you wouldn’t be so hype if we had a deeply fundamental Muslim or Satanist majority.
