  • 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

    Have you seen the contract to know what Phil agreed to?

    Duck Dynasty Controversy: Bible to be Banned as “Hate Speech”?

    If you have a source, you should show it. Otherwise it might appear as though you're making up numbers. That's why I'd like to see the source. Why not link/post it?

    I can stomach people disagreeing with me plenty. I just like to see some consistency. Are you going to start or advocate petitions for her immediate reinstatement as well, or is that reserved for people who make statements you agree with? And if you don't think she or Phil should be fired...

    If what an employee says on a public forum during his/her own time can't reflect or impact their employer, be considered a fireable offense or otherwise affect employment, I imagine everyone defending Mr. Robertson will likewise find this a worthy cause to take up.

    Duck Dynasty Controversy: Bible to be Banned as “Hate Speech”?

    This. The only thing that happened was an employer decided to suspend an employee because of something said publicly that they thought could negatively impact their business. If this bothers you so much, you might want to come to Justine Sacco's defense. She was fired from a company for an...

    A&E is intolerant...

    Do you believe a company has the right to fire an employee for statements made on a public forum, be it FB, a blog, or a magazine, if the company feels the statements could damage the company's reputation or alienate the client base? Because A&E is hardly the only company with a policy like...

    A&E is intolerant...

    Treaties are legal documents. Unless you're saying legal documents have no standing in governance, you might want to consider a different angle. Even still, throw the Treaty of Tripoli out and you don't have Christian language in the nation's blueprint. That's nice. I've never disputed most...

    A&E is intolerant...

    The personal religious views of the founders didn't bleed into their governance. If it did, we would have seen it in the nation's blueprint, specifically with theistic language (the sort found in the DoI). Which we didn't. Many of the founders were Christian. Others, like Jefferson, were Deists...

    A&E is intolerant...

    Yeah, I thought about including that, but I didn't think this line of argument would go far anyway. People who argue the DoI as proof the USA is a Christian nation aren't typically persuaded by historical relevance.

    A&E is intolerant...

    If an employee of any organization says something publicly (on FB, a blog, etc) that could potentially negatively impact the business or alienate the consumer base, is the business entitled to protect themselves? Yes or no? That's what this comes down to. You don't have to agree that what was...

    A&E is intolerant...

    Declaration of Independence - 1776 Constitution - 1787 We weren't the United States when the DoI was written, and it was never a law. It's a document of American history, and an important one. However, it is not, has never been, and never will be a document of American governance. Which, sadly...

    Pesky founding father presidents. Twisting facts that never existed.

    A&E is intolerant...

    It's because he said things people agree with. If he'd said being Catholic is a slippery slope to molesting altar boys, there would be a lot more outrage (and rightly so). Essentially, they'll defend him because they agree with him, not because A&E did anything wrong. With this particular issue...

    We're not talking about me, but thank you for proving you don't want an actual discussion.

    A&E is intolerant...

    This is an entirely different argument. If you don't want to answer what I actually said regarding the issue at hand, that's fine...but it would be another digression, and I'd recommend starting your own thread.
