• 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.

Oh I must have glossed over that part. No, that's just a dumb comment and impossible to defend.
I take it that the "he" in this discussion is me. Collins was Fauci's boss at the NIH. Consequently, Collins shared in the responsibility of Fauci's behavior, including his criminal behavior. What is so "dumb" about recognizing this basic fact?

Not after reading what you wrote, no.

Then why did you post what you did? It had no connection to reality.
Your rebuttal of my statements seems to lack much detail. Care to be more specific?

By all means, present one of his arguments.
It is not for me to repeat what any of you can ready click on and find out for yourself. If you are interested, then access the Meyer video and we can discuss what it is about it that you might want to comment on.

That you'd blame Collins for anything, calling his behaviour 'criminal' and . To me, that is dumb, and there's no real way for you to change my mind on that matter.

Your comment was dumb.

Especially since it's got nothing to do at all with the OP topic and just a cheap shot at someone you don't like politically.

My, aren't "we" presumptuous?

Considering that this topic is majorly off-topic and self-aggrandizing for yourself, I have no reason to not be presumptuous towards it and no reason to take it seriously.

Well, someone who presumes to accuse health officials of criminal conduct without basis is presumptuous, yes. I'm pretty sure that in the conversation here, only one person studies infectious diseases for a living -- and it isn't you.

It is if you wish to promote his ideas on a discussion forum. Present an argument.

You realize "criminal" is an adjective, do you not?

It'd be a crime to not realize this.
