• 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.

So those would be protests then. Got it. Where's the schedule for riots?
I'm still not clear on the difference between a riot, and a mostly peaceful protest.

I've asked repeatedly for a Liberal to explain it to me.

That's funny. Because you keep using the different terms in different posts as if you knew what they meant. You're even quoting media using the terms. Do you expect us to think you're scratching your head whenever you read the reports thinking 'Gee, I wonder what could they mean by using that term'.

Please, don't treat us like idiots.

There is a difference between posting a Liberal news article, and understanding Liberalspeak.

What's funny is that I can't even find a Liberal who can explain the difference.

I'm sure you'll keep looking. I hope you find it. I can't wait for what comes after.

After 7 pages, I'm beginning to lose hope for finding an answer. After 7 pages I'm suspecting that my initial suspicions are being confirmed.

My initial suspicions were that there is no difference; that they are one in the same.

I'm glad you're happy with your decision. But we all knew that was the weird point you were trying to make.

I haven't made a decision yet. I'm still being objective enough to hear the Liberals out; but all that I'm getting is crickets.

Well, I'd protest that you think you aren't getting any feedback. But then you wouldn't understand what I meant.

You could just explain the difference; or maybe you are unable?

Thanks, but no. I'm curious to see how long you'll keep trying to get an answer. And even more curious to see the point you'll attempt to make if you get one.

C'mon guys. We need a volunteer.

I'm fairly tenacious. I suppose we'll have to wait together to see how long Liberals keep coming to my thread empty handed.

At least we can share these peaceful moments together, to meditate on the crickets, I mean aside from the occasional riots that might flare up over the course of this week.

I'll give you a clue.

It's the word "peaceful."

It's really weird that you keep asking what something means and then keep using the word in context.

Ah, now we might have an explanation for all these questions. Notwithstanding that we've just had 'riots that might flare up' as opposed to 'protests that might flare up'.

But I think you need to prepare for more enquiries, A2. I don't think you've given what's required for the forum equivalent of a coup de grace.

Yeah, you're probably right, but I had to give it the old college try.

Crickets are peaceful. Arson, murder, vandalism, and looting are not.

That's not an explanation; or maybe I don't understand Liberalspeak for what the definition of "explanation" is.

I suppose that depends on what the definition of "is" is.

You're getting there.

It's simple: if it's peaceful, it ain't a riot. If it's a riot, it ain't peaceful.

Maybe a visual aid can help:

Riot:

Not a riot:

-- A2SG, see the difference?
