  • 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.

You shouldn't have look up stuff for people when they can easily look it up themselves.

As I said previously, rebellious teenager surrounded by liberal influences. In this case, the liberal influence appears to be his gay lover who thinks he is a woman.
Don't you think it would be nice - and something quite productive, if someone made a list of all the people harmed by political violence. And didn't differentiate between right or left. Didn't list the names under two separate headings. Maybe go back a few years. It'll be quite a long list.

And then we could all say that this is terrible. Whatever side of the political divide we come from we can all stand up and say it's wrong.

Well, liberals should have thought about that before they immediately tried to blame conservatives for the assassination.

I'm not interested in playing Youtube ping pong. If you can't tell a good debater from a bad one then there ain't anything I could post that would change your mind. At least I know what your standards are.
First you say Charlie most often comes in a distant second then you question if I’ve ever watched one of his debates, now you refuse to watch and comment on a debate where Charlie clearly came out on top with a college professor. It is you my friend who appears to be unqualified to comment on Charlies debating skills or my ability to recognize a good debater.

Well, that's exactly what we don't want, isn't it. Liberals blaming conservatives and then you blaming the liberals. Just stop. Please stop.

Yet again, these are opinions that are being put forward. It's not a soccer game where you say one team is best but I show that they have scored more goals.

Your opinion is noted. In this matter I now know what it's worth.

You are correct.

Have you heard the saying, "Truth is stranger than fiction?"

That's because fiction (which is false), to be accepted, must be acceptable, it must be what people want to see and hear, it must be familiar, it must be comfortable. Fiction must make sense to the mind of the audience. Truth is what it is, and it may be far outside what people are comfortable with or accustomed to.
That's not what truth is stranger than fiction means. It means a particular event is so bizarre or astounding, that it sounds made up but it's true.

In the case of many Charlie Kirk mini-debates with college students, they'd make a statement about something they didn't know enough about, and Charlie would take it apart with facts. So that's were truth would win out over malarky. The challenger would issue a fallacious statement, Charlie would take it apart with the truth, and the challenger would be left stammering or they'd issue a personal insult and walk away.

I mean, "Kirk shot by a MAGA supporter shooting a gun in celebration?" And people actually believed that?
That and it was intentional but the shooter is a republican. Or since the shooter is white, therefore Kirk got shot by one of his own people. And then of course like with Trump's shooting, there are those claiming it was staged. That either a squib was used or it was a hologram or AI special effects. Oh and it was an inside job because Kirk's own people on stage were giving hand signals to the shooter, since one of them touched the brim of his baseball cap and another crossed his arms.

Unlike one other poster on this thread you have actually watched Charlie’s debates and recognized truth when you see it .

Too many people would rather listen to what others say about what Charlie Kirk said, rather than actually listen to what Charlie Kirk himself said.

For a person to be blind to facts right in front of them is not exercising a personal opinion. It is a deficit in the the ability to analyze without personal bias. It is an establish fact Charlie was a great debater full of facts about the topics he engaged with. I also know the value of your opinion of Kirk’s debating skills. Maybe soccer commentary would be a better use of one’s time.

Probably why he was shot in the first place. Watching too much of the leftist propaganda and believing the lies of the liberal media. There are some posters that still believe Trump's assassination attempt was staged for political points.

Point out how you think Charlie who did not go to college came in a distant second in this debate with a college professor.
His first answer is that the lowering of the price of oil (do you buy many contracts for WTI crude?), would in some way impact the cost of driving home for the students. Perhaps he mean't the gas price, but that haven't gone down. If you start out being factually incorrect, I think you've already lost.

So a gay lover is “The Left” Trump wants to target, silence and punish.

Nah, they're all in for it. Deportations, concentration camps, the whole facist dictator nine yards and then some. Even Vladimir Putin and Kim Jung Un will say "holy cow!" (or words to that effect).
