  • 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.

-- A2SG, unclear on what point you're trying to make with that article....
Would you like me to read the article to you so you'll understand?

That is a silly question. You are already seeing it all over the news.
I'm seeing people exercising their freedom of speech all over the place. Sometimes, that comes with consequences from their employers, and there have been people who exercised their freedom of speech to object to that as well.

All well and good, all perfectly legal.

What I'm still unclear about is your claim: "We are going after everyone who celebrated political violence."

Who is "we," and how, exactly, are you "going after" whoever it is you're going after?

-- A2SG, if you're all over the news, you'll have to point that out....I don't know you outside of this forum....

Nope. I was fully capable of reading it myself, thank you.

I just don't know what point you're trying to make by referring to it. You never said.

-- A2SG, unless all you intended was to provide reading material...thanks, but I've got plenty over here....

I showed it to you in response to something you had just said, so it seemed like something simple enough for you to realize the connection.

Oh, I understood how it connected to the discussion. But what I still don't understand is what point you're trying to make.

You still haven't said.

When so many "details" are asked for and you try to provide them, then comes the question about why you're "so fixated on it"? They're not genuine in their requests, so it's best to not bother. Then they'll say, "So nothing then? Good to know!"

So predictable.

No, you don't. You're free to just leave your words out there, and everyone else is free to interpret them however they like.

Like, for example, that you are putting yourself alongside government agencies who are attempting to prosecute or punish certain people for exercising their freedom of speech, an action that is clearly and undeniably prohibited by the First Amendment of the Constitution. An action that could be considered a fascist act, were one to characterize it as such.

Now, I could be wrong on that, but you don't have to correct my conclusions if you don't want to. That's your right.

-- A2SG, and I always fully respect your rights.....

The right to free speech is not absolute. We learned that over the past 4 years, remember? Understand?

I never said it was. Remember the bit about some people facing consequences from the exercise of their freedom of speech? I did note it was perfectly legal. You saw that, right?

Guess so. If you're not gonna be clear on what your points are, then don't be surprised when they're not understood.

Clarity is a little tweeting bird chirping in a meadow. Clarity is a wreath of pretty flowers which smell bad. Are you sure your circuits are registering correctly? Your ears are green.

Unless pedophilia becomes normalized. Which, looking at the direction of the slippery slope, will be on the progressive agenda whether we want to believe it or not.
Back to the Epstein files to see who the real pedophiles are. If only they would release them.
