• 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.

There is no “flaw,” and there is no “discrimination.”
The shirt discriminates against index individuals.
Just because someone doesn’t agree with an ideology [doesn't] make it “discrimination.” Period.
The shirt had nothing to do with an ideology.

Some expression is more equal than other, it seems.
No. People pretending to be the opposite sex are still equal as others. They just don’t have the right to force their ideology onto others.

But you said you are for free expression. And the question was should free expression be allowed here.
No. Promoting abortion is forbidden here per the rules. End of discussion.

I dont see why it would be.
Some people aren’t comfortable with homosexuality or same sex relationships. They think it’s wrong. It is what it is.

Asserting there's only 2 genders is hate speech now?
Genesis 1:27 - God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Those who consider that hate speech can take it up with God.

Since when should public schools promote a particular religious viewpoint?
