  • 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

    The Death Penalty: Cruel And Unusual?

    IMO, The only thing cruel about the death penalty is the cruelty to victims and society that is suffered as long as these cockroaches are allowed to remain. The only thing unusual about the death penalty is the total disregard by the courts for a speedy trial. That our society has allowed this...

    A.I.: Israel Guilty of War Crimes

    Amnesty International is full of alot of Bung. My only criticism of Israel would be that they didn't obliterate the enemy from the face of the earth. I'm afraid that those who side with A.I. and claim that Israel is guilty of war crimes are themselves guilty of being ignorant. -M.C.
