  • 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.

    You don't? So, for instance, people working in sweatshops don't have a right to a fair wage in a safe environment? Children don't have a right to quality education? I suspect most people would say such things are objective rights, regardless of who or what imbues said rights.

    Do children have the right to be raised by both their biological mother and biological father?

    Many folks on this thread seem fairly articulate, yet badly mangle and confuse the concept of a right with the practical implications. The way many of the arguments read, to me, seem to suggest the analogy that because there's no practical possibility for someone living in a war- and...
