  • 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.

    Message shocks youths

    i agree with most of you in that it was great. i'm doing my best to spread that exact message as far and wide as i can among my college group. the function of it was not to teach, but to break us away from our blind indifference. and at that it did extremely well. ~cf

    What kind of joke is this?

    I’m not entirely sure who you were referring to, but having been someone who posted a positive view of ADD, I feel inclined to explain myself. First off, it is neither a joke nor something to be taken lightly. I struggle with it every day, and will have to every day of my life. But it's also not...

There is the actual physical threat this time around, but if you think about it; the made up "attacks" on people could be compared to the persistent "nuke" threat. But more to...
