  • 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

    Chicago leads nation in black teen unemployment

    It implies that black teen unemployment in Chicago is higher than it is in other cities around the nation. The article didn't make that comparison though. It only made the comparison between Chicago, Illinois, and the United States as a whole.

    Chicago leads nation in black teen unemployment

    The thread title is a bit misleading, isn't it?

    Should we trust Obama?

    Unfortunately it's not. Studies consistently show that the vast majority of the population (white and black) have at least a slight subconscious bias against dark skin. Others are just blatantly racist. Most of us lie somewhere in between. To say that the color of Obama's skin has nothing to do...

    Jesus painting

    Did you even look at the image provided in the article? Sure there's a board with photos of what appears to be some local figures in this school's recent past, but the portrait of Jesus is not part of that display. It looks like the school board's main argument was that the picture was donated...

    European Union stops execution of convicted murderer in Missouri

    I noticed! I'm glad you recognized it. It kind of makes you question whether or not The Blaze is a reliable source for news, no?

    I think The Blaze needs to improve their article title accuracy.

    Ted Cruz outdistances competition in straw poll at Value Voters Summit

    Good for him, but again, from a political standpoint, is it a positive thing to be popular among such an unpopular group?

    Before weekend Al Qaeada called for small-scale attacks within US

    It doesn't look like there is, but are you kind of hoping there's a connection here, NHE?

    Impeach Obama if he attacks Syria without consent!

    The key is consistency. I supported Bush invading Iraq and support Obama launching strikes against Syria. Many liberals were and are opposed to both. Where do you stand?

    Impeach Obama if he attacks Syria without consent!

    Sure. A case can be made against every president for "trampling" the Constitution. This has nothing to do with Republicans being outraged over the illegality, either domestically or internationally, of a strike against Syria and everything to do with Republicans being outraged over the fact that...

    Impeach Obama if he attacks Syria without consent!

    Is this going to turn into the same tired impeachment campaign we saw a few years ago with G.W. Bush? If we don't like someone's politics, we either one, shouldn't have voted them into office, or two, should make an effort to vote for someone different the next time around. Impeachment is not a...

    Variety: MSNBC has too much opinion, too little news

    Just curious, but do conservatives watch MSNBC for entertainment in the same way liberals watch Fox News for entertainment?
