  • 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’m in agreement with @iluvatar5150. What you’re describing isn’t admiration. It’s a parasocial relationship with the deceased and they’re common. Overhearing someone heckling a group at a vigil won’t make me spring into action. Like seriously?

~bella
Well Bella you’re entitled to your opinion . Many may agree with you and many may not. You say Like seriously? But Common sense says the opposite. And where most common sense people don’t mock and heckle at the mourning of someone’s passing be it America or anywhere. And for good reason You have a saying in your America . F around and find out. And thank God that the guy got off rather lightly.

What parts are you skeptical about being in existence? Men getting in touch with their feminine side? Multiple genders and gender fluidity? It being said that males mensurate? Tampon dispensers belong in school boys restrooms (made famous by Tim Walz)?

The whole thing is about emasculating men.

The part I find absurd is the equating of understanding one's feelings with femininity. It's not that I'm unfamiliar with that correlation, but rather that it seems obvious to me that it's not a biological one; it's a cultural one. Not only is it cultural, it's fairly new (i.e. within the last century or two) and mostly western.

Creating a great piece of art, literature, music, or film requires a fair amount of emotiveness and emotional awareness. Of the works that are considered the greatest in history, the vast, vast majority were created by men. Every time you walk into a museum, you're surrounded by the handiwork of.... sissyboys?


I only need to ask myself one question, “Is this thought helpful?” If it’s not I try to think of something that is
I don’t need to ask myself questions that I already know the answers to.
This works very well in relationships too. Before you say anything ask yourself “Is this helpful?”

Congratulations, you're in touch with your feelings. Or at least you're on your way towards being so. You're ready to start learning about the next step: tucking.

It's behavior modification. I looked up men getting in touch with their feelings which took me to men getting in touch with their feminine side. Based on what I've read, it's about emasculating men. And that the most desirable place to start that is in kindergarten. Brave New World stuff so to speak.

I think you have the wrong person. I have no need to flatten my crotch. I don’t understand why you would prove @Servus ’s point with this post unless this is an attempt at humor, tucking is certainly emasculating

Charlie Kirk Is Dead—But Black America Remembers His Racism


I guess what he really implied is that black people could NEVER earn their place in success and doubting whether they deserve their jobs and positions, is a totally reasonable response.

So not morons; just incompetent.

And to blame it on DEI is just an effort to deflect from his racist thoughts.

Not saying he's racist by the way!
Just that he said racist things and had racist thoughts.

But he's not racist.
I tend to think the same thing, when our African American payroll guy messes our checks up 3 out of 4 times per month. Is he really qualified? Or did his skin color get him the job.

...Haha, then he gets all defensive when we complain about being shorted. What a piece of work.

Yes, it was an attempt at humor. As with most of my attempts, its degree of success is debatable.

I’ve worked for white people who were incompetent and I wondered how they ever got their jobs, oh wait…..they were women

So what you perceive as getting in touch with my feelings is then mocked as being feminine. Kind of destroys everything you said in your reply to @Servus

Wow.

And now people BRAG about thinking like this?

See. Normalizing awful thoughts are what free speech activists do. That's why I'm not a fan of it.


Normalizing awful.

I think there's some folks in here who need to go over to the "white men, u ok?" Thread.


And I'm kinda surprised that christian forums allows this latent racism and misogyny on its boards.

I think you're only saying that because it's easier to silence people than it is to defend DEI hiring practices.

It seems you haven't explored this to the degree I have. It's like when I comment on LGBT ideology, and people think I'm joking or making stuff up, when in fact I got my information from LGBT sources. They don't fully understand what they're arguing for.

I'm sure you would.

that's easier than reflecting on your own prejudices.

Cause...."I'm not racist".

Creating a great piece of art, literature, music, or film requires a fair amount of emotiveness and emotional awareness. Of the works that are considered the greatest in history, the vast, vast majority were created by men. Every time you walk into a museum, you're surrounded by the handiwork of.... sissyboys?
I went to The Louve and what I saw there with a great deal of the sculptures and paintings did not leave me with the impression that these great artists created these masterpieces based upon a fair amount of emotional awareness.

So many of the things displayed dealt with maleness and femaleness. The strength and power of men vs the femininity of women. Recognizing the differences between the two.


It's not that I'm unfamiliar with that correlation, but rather that it seems obvious to me that it's not a biological one; it's a cultural one. Not only is it cultural, it's fairly new (i.e. within the last century or two) and mostly western.
It us pretty obvious to me that the whole desire for men to deal with their feelings and be more like women is the cultural thing and more new and mostly western. The feminization of men is a newer phenomenon and comes from a more progressive side that men are toxic and women more virtuous. Men have been the great explorers, the great dreamers and great creators, the great inventors and discoverers precisely because of how they are built, inside and out. They have dealt with their emotions differently than women since the dawn of time. And thats okay, because they are different biologically.
