  • 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.

“The two surviving ‘terrorists’ are being returned to their countries of origin, Ecuador and Colombia, for detention and prosecution,” Trump wrote in the social media posting.
The New York Times reports the two individuals have been transferred from the custody of the Pentagon to the U.S. State Department for their repatriation. They note that the U.S. has handed individuals in the past over to friendly countries when they were intercepted outside the country. The Coast Guard, in the past in the Caribbean, however, after stopping drug trafficking boats, has also arrested the individuals and brought them to the U.S. for prosecution.

Over 80,000 Americans died in 2024 as a result of a drug overdose.

If these two invididuals are "terrorists", why is the U.S. government turning them over to their country of origin?

If they were terrorists threatening the security of Americans, such objections would be ignored.

No she didn't. She said Americans need to stop taking drugs

"Perhaps Americans should stop taking illegal drugs. It's not as if the cartels were making them - they are seeking them out and paying good money."
Post #4

It looks like she did to me, but you are free to clear up my confusion.

Why wouldn't be the fault of the users/ their friends or family? They started, they need help getting off. I noticed some people do drugs because of child abuse. Physical or sexual abuse. A drug addict will just find a different drug. Most drug addict need professional help to get off of drugs.


So you can just tell them to stop taking drugs and that will solve the problem? That historically has not been the liberal view nor that users are to blame

We're talking about two different people. I was referring to the person who brought it up to begin with
I replied to CCW;
Well someone, who is usually fairly liberal on most issues suggested that Americans should just stop buying drugs
