  • 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

    Interracial marriage

    Hi Kasey, Thanks for that. Just to clarify then if a ‘black’ person has a ‘white’ ancestor then they are a ‘mongrel’, and if a ‘white’ person has a ‘black’ ancestor then they too are a ‘mongrel’ and so they should...

    Interracial marriage

    Hi Kasey, I don’t want it to seem like I’m singling you out but as I seem to have slipped out of the loop on this one and you seem to be the most forceful spokesman for the “intermarriage is wrong” camp I thought you might be the best person to address this to...

    Interracial marriage

    Hi Blackguard, Yes, I did mean in general. As to whether there are "other, better ways of helping that" looking at the history of the world it seems to be a fairly profound lesson judging by the amount of time its taken most of us to learn it. Besides, I wouldn't really be sure what those...

    My Loneliness

    Hi Lonely1004, A lot of people have given you some very good advice here and I don’t want to repeat what they have said even if much of bears repeating but I think not only is your attitude to women, putting it politely, maladjusted but your attitude towards relationships in general...

    The Golden Rule or Selfishness

    Hi TrueQ, I think you’re misunderstanding the Golden Rule. It is not “do unto others as they have done to you” but “do unto others as you would have them do to you”. In fact it’s actually far closer to your interpretation of “The Old...

    The Golden Rule or Selfishness

    Hi TrueQ, Whilst I agree with your initial sentiments with regard to the authoritarian nature of the two rules I’m not sure quite what you mean by the Golden Rule failing to stand on its own merits. However I don’t think that “As ye give, so shall ye get” stands on its...

    The Golden Rule or Selfishness

    Hi Otto, Well, firstly, in terms of how the two perspectives are juxtaposed it's because you put them on the same page together... Secondly, if you're interested in how they compare and you are referring to, with your second quote, Aleister Crowley's so-called Law of Thelema, "Do...
