  • 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

    When with the Religious Right give up on gay marriage?

    You claim arguments out of obviousness do not work. Why is that?

    When with the Religious Right give up on gay marriage?

    Can you provide evidence to support your claim? Why wouldn't they suffice?

    This Is Torture?

    I've got to hand it to ya, you sure are consistent! hehe The nature of terrorists *is* pertinent, since it is them who we have waterboarded. We did it in response to what they and their comrades have done and are doing. We do it in hopes that it will lead to less death. I look forward with great...

    This Is Torture?

    Did you mis the part that says "the party (ie..USA) will remain bound until the non-signatory (ie.. any non State) no longer acts under the strictures of the convention." It seems pretty clear. If they follow the rules (even though they did not officially sign the agreement), we must also. If...

    This Is Torture?

    Why is it no one ever talks about how unjustified it is for a terrorist to murder innocent? People get all riled up against a few isolated coercive interrogations, and do nothing at all to address the guys blowing themselves up in crowded markets. Yeah, try and dismiss the terrorists by using...

    This Is Torture?

    Yep! With a nice fat paycheck, of course. <gasp!> You kind of contradicted yourself though. I'm sure it was a typo, but you said "valuable information that only the criminal would be aware of" and then "convicted the wrong man based on false testimony". If he gave up something only the bad guy...

    This Is Torture?

    If you can't or won't see the difference between the actions of terrorists and coalition soldiers.... well, heh. I'm trying to think of the last person we beheaded... or the last IED we used to blow up children... or the last American suicide bomber that targeted policemen...

    We can't torture becuase then they will

    Well, at least we are clear on where the other stands. You might hate it, but I will volunteer to be one of the people to "debase" myself to keep you and those who think like you safe, if I have the chance. I only have one more Q for you, if you are willing: Is there any crime, perversion, or...

    Is a complete collapse imminent?

    My rights would only be intact as long as those in power... the majority... allow it. As soon as some charismatic person(s) convinces enough of the masses to do as they (the charismatic people) want, I suddenly no longer have the right to speak, listen to a favorite radio show, go to a certain...

    When with the Religious Right give up on gay marriage?

    Good grief. Instead of applying what *you* want my words to mean, you should try respond to what I actually wrote. You want me to respond to a specific thought of yours, then you go and generalize and imply things around what I wrote. This is the stupid game I was too weak to avoid. As another...

    D.C. police Torture innocent demonstrators outside the IMF an

    Kind of how the word "socialism" has been neutered in an effort to make it more palatable. Advocates for no "torture" will not define it, and apply it to anything they want to rail against. They do more to bleach out any meaning to the word than anyone else.
