  • 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.

Male who identifies as a transgendered woman.

Female refers to biological sex.

Jenner still has XY chromosomes, regardless of their identity.
Won't be long before preferred pronouns are going to be a thing of the past.

They used to say that about black people, too. Can you guess the connection?

Sure! The political party that was opposed to the abolishment of slavery.
Of what party is the president who threw a temper tantrum because he thought the Smithsonian was making slavery look bad? It's the same party for which the KKK celebrated their win with a parade. That party? The party of Lincoln is now the party of Senator Tom Cotton who declared; “We have to study the history of slavery and its role and impact on the development of our country because otherwise we can’t understand our country. As the founding fathers said, it was the necessary evil upon which the union was built."

The republican who actually said:
“I have a very, very radical view on this, but I can defend it, and I’ve thought about it,” the story quoted Kirk as saying. “We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.”

Yep. Republican, admittedly an extreme and often hateful one.

Assailing affirmative action “picks” Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Kirk said, sickeningly, “you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken seriously” without affirmative action. “You had to steal a white person’s slot.”

All of these women have much greater intellectual credentials than Kirk. His envy of and anger against women of color who far surpassed him is appalling.

Does that mean in 160 years, parties can change positions?

Yep.

When white supremacists engage in mass shootings, it is based on "who they are" as white supremacists or the partner of such people. Only white supremacists do it a lot more often. Just saying.

Haven't been seeing those.

I'd be fine with that too. And I'd be fine with white supremacists being what they are, so long as they don't bother anyone else. So we seem to be on the same page in that respect. Those who do attack others should be punished just like any other criminal. Those who don't should just be left alone.

Yeah, it's annoying to see those guys riding round with confederate or Nazi flags, and so on. But they have the right.

You're comparing Nazis to transsexuals?
I'm guessing only a minority of Nazis and white supremacists are transsexual. But they all have the right to be what they want to be, so long as they respect the rights of others.

Putting politics aside and pointing fingers at NO ONE, I'm tired of all the hate. It needs to stop. :(
Yes, and everyone, myself included, should step back and realize that there's no point in putting a political label on a killer who seems to have been deeply troubled emotionally.

For the far right, I get it the real fear. These guys are reading books to innocent kids. And those far right guys know what happens to kids if they grow up with a habit of reading books. Their recruiting pool is people who don't read. That's the "grooming" they fear.

And what kind of material is in those books?
The one I know about was about colors and how they mix to form other colors. Which I guess you could kinda interpret as "liberal", but it would be a huge reach. You have any checkable examples?

The same type of propaganda that teaches the kids to grow up confused about their own body, and then become future mass shooters and assassins--only to blame their confusion and rage on others.
Seems unlikely to me, but I'd be open to evidence for that. What's your source?

I sure hope so.

Not that I care about anyone's preferred pronouns anyway.

Idaho Trantifa drag queen teacher resigns after praising killing of Charlie Kirk

First link looks fun. Second two not so much. Would pick drag bingo or the parade.

I consider this goading, because you know I'm a male.

Stop now.
What do you mean? I, like you, don’t care about preferred pronouns.

This just needs to stop. People need to learn compassion again, and I'm NOT pointing fingers at any side, because that's not fair.

Why should a teacher be a drag queen? In front of minors? That's flat out abuse and totally unnecessary! Period.

Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, which probably explains a lot.

Oh, you only care about YOUR preferred pronouns. Glad we could clear that up.
Address the post, not the poster.

There’s no need to be rude.

Here’s guessing they moonlight as a drag queen, not teach class as a drag queen.

Regardless, I think it’s inappropriate imo. Unless it’s for adults only and not in front of minors. Then I wouldn’t care.
