  • 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

    In The 1960's We Marched For A Reason

    yeah I agree. Most of the people doing the more 'unusual' stuff have a more radical agenda. But I do believe that tomorrow's candlelight vigil (which I'm planning to attend) when Bush does his inauguration address would appeal to the more mainstream crowd once again. I only hope Union Square...

    In The 1960's We Marched For A Reason

    NYTimes: a police officer at a command centre estimated the protest at half a million strong. Even if he's off by a factor of two, that's still at least 200,000 people. many of the arrests are for civil disobedience, non-violence etc. In fact, I'd say the vast majority of the arrests. As...
