  • 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.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    He keeps his promises? What about his 100 day goals?

    Evolution Experiment: Creationists, Choose their Fate!

    Wow, is that wrong. A species is "a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding". Dogs and wolves can interbreed perfectly well; and as such are the same species regardless of whether we found them or we domesticated them.

    Majority of White Americans Say They Believe Whites Face Discrimination

    None, because it has very little to do with the issue of oppression. Celebrities, millionaires and billionaires are very tiny portions of the population, and do not represent a majority in any real way. Oppression makes it more difficult to be successful; it doesn't make it impossible. This...

    Majority of White Americans Say They Believe Whites Face Discrimination

    Society needs widespread changes to make it easier for black people to become successful, because without those changes, it is much more difficult for them to be those things. It's not a coincidence that there are far fewer black doctors than white ones, for instance. One black president...

    Majority of White Americans Say They Believe Whites Face Discrimination

    The implication that the majority of black people can't be oppressed because some of them are able to become sports stars or presidents is ridiculous. Especially since that was the first black president after a string of 42 white ones.

    Body Cam Study Shows No Effect on Police Use of Force or Citizen Complaints

    Actually, it's a cop's job to do what they can to de-escalate the situation and calm down the aggressive person. They're supposed to protect and serve, and that means only using violence when absolutely necessary -- because anyone they're violent towards is part of the community they're...

    Majority of White Americans Say They Believe Whites Face Discrimination

    A lot of black people are anti-black and anti-semitic, and of course some are anti-white. But all of these groups are small minorities (10% or under) among black people in the US. If white people suffered in this place the same way black people do here, and for the same reasons, then of course...

    Majority of White Americans Say They Believe Whites Face Discrimination

    There is little to no systematic racism against white people in the real world. There may be some exceptions, like hip-hop music, but I don't know enough about that topic to do more than make vague speculations. 99.9% of the time, in the United States, being white is a very helpful thing that...

    Majority of White Americans Say They Believe Whites Face Discrimination

    Oppression is systematic, and obviously not total. In most cases, it's like a doorway; white people get a larger door, and then give black people a much smaller one, so that they can't fit as well. Others in this thread have mentioned, for instance, how people with "black-sounding names" get...

    Majority of White Americans Say They Believe Whites Face Discrimination

    Yeah, the difference being that black people haven't had 2,000 years to recover from oppression and that said oppression is still actively happening.

    Majority of White Americans Say They Believe Whites Face Discrimination

    The history of how one's ancestors are treated effect how they are treated today, and how they are today. It influences the culture around you and the culture of those who would oppress you; and creates your situation, in many ways. For many people, their living situations exist due to events...

    Majority of White Americans Say They Believe Whites Face Discrimination

    If someone else has it worse, that doesn't make your situation better. Being treated poorly by society is bad regardless of how bad it's been before. Literal slavery is a pretty low bar for whether or not someone is facing discrimination. I've been harassed for my liberal views in a...

    Majority of White Americans Say They Believe Whites Face Discrimination

    The names on the list SummerMadness linked are normal names. The fact that a white person named Tyrone Jackson will get fewer callbacks on job searches than a black person named Adam Smith is systemic racism, because the reason they don't get called back as much is because people think they're...

    Many cancer patients skimp on treatment due to cost

    The NHS doesn't have to do that, though; they just need to increase funding. (They pay 1/3 of what the US does for health care per capita, with better health outcomes.). The alternative being dying if you can't afford it. Regardless, the NHS is not the norm for universal health care. France...
