  • 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

    For those of you who think Obamacare is the answer....

    It's a mix of American Exceptionalism and not understanding that a country which has the best specialists money can buy means nothing if the people can't afford it.

    To put it succinctly, "If society needs a job to be worked, then the person who works it should be able to live comfortably." Otherwise you're dooming a segment of society to a low-quality life for simply being unlucky enough to work a particular job.

    Only one of these is correct. Can you guess which one? Hint: What is our current unemployment rate?

    Companies are making profits. They just don't want to give their workers more than they have to.

    Picking these two because I find these to be the most egregious, and the most ignorant. You don't think workplaces would provide unsafe work environments for their workers, and that workers should be allowed to work in unsafe, low pay environments "if they want to"? You have studied the early...

    Play the game! Who said it: Wall Street Occupier or Tea Partier?

    Or ban outside funding and give candidates a pool of publicly funded money to run their campaign on, giving every candidate a more equal playing field against each other.

    Unless your job is working in a factory setting where you're producing something of immediate value which can be averaged in some $ output per hour, it's not so clear cut to determine what the "marginal production" of a worker is. Middle class and lower class salaries have been stagnant for...

    This, like much of what you've posted, is a devaluation of labor. You're pegging the cost of a workers compensation on what they can be made to work the lowest for, which easily ends up with labor being taken advantage of. The problem is when the majority of employers do the same practices...

    "You can always quit" isn't a good answer to this. It may be the case that quitting your low-wage job which just gets you by means that you can't pay rent. You can't afford to quit. Or other jobs in the same field provide the same low wages. You're a wage slave with no recourse other than...
