  • 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.

    Truths that are self-evident

    What you've stated here would support the claim that the Declaration of Independence is not legally binding. After all, many states continue to have capital punishment despite the line about the unalienable right to life. Either the declaration isn't legally binding or the term "unalienable...

    Truths that are self-evident

    I don't think the Declaration of Independence is legally binding considering how many states have capital punishment. Otherwise, how can the state legally execute you when life is an "unalienable right?"

    I'm moving to Australia, because their president is a Christian!

    Who's twisting words? Honestly, why do you think "people will take that as ridiculing Christians?" I could understand if you thought people would take this as ridiculing Republicans, which would be pretty normal on a political forum, but Christians?! Obama's Christian yet plenty of people...

    I'm moving to Australia, because their president is a Christian!

    It was mostly to share a good laugh but I added an interesting question to spark conversation: where to go? If the US is not conservative enough for you, there's no where else to go as far as I can tell, yet the threat to leave always persists... Had I known another thread was already made...

    I'm moving to Australia, because their president is a Christian!

    This statement is the perfect example of: You can see the details of why this is in an amusing article, here, but this does raise an interesting point. For all the people who are threatening to move due to this election, where are you going to go? I doubt that there is anywhere else...

    White establishment

    No, you're missing the point. No one is contending that the demographic votes aren't true. What they're contending is the reason for the votes. O'Reilly's bare assertion is that they're entitled. We can only speculate on their true motives so he's not necessarily "correct..."

    Rick Perry's video breaks record

    You fail to see anything wrong with propagating a bunch of lies to promote one's campaign amongst a paranoid interest group? You don't think "gays" should serve in the military? Fine... but "kids can't openly celebrate Christmas?" Where? Since when? "They can't pray in school?" Anyone...

    Rick Perry's video breaks record

    There have been some responses to Rick Perry's video but I must say that, so far, this is my favourite: OdHuwXwcUm0 It's funny but respectful. It's careful not to denigrate anyone's beliefs while still lampooning Rick's ridiculous message...

    son caught having porn problem

    I don't think you understand just how automated these search engines are. At no point did a single person ever see any of these sites. It's all done by machines without any context with which to determine whether something deserves to be indexed... You probably think this because you dislike...

    The Defamation of Religions at the U.N.

    I'm (pleasantly) surprised that no one here is supporting this resolution. After all, making Defamation of Religion a crime would mean that no one could defame your religion...

    Petition to Keep Gitmo Open

    Do you see the irony in your statement here? First, is it a desire to be God to try and follow His teachings? Your statement was ludicrous to say the least. Secondly, you accuse Suomipoika of judgment while condoning the torture of people whose guilt is undetermined. Really, who's the...

    Should the US government bail out the Automakers?

    I was looking for automatic transmission and it looks like the Japanese systems are better. Despite the Fit being the same size as the Aveo, it has just as much room and far more cargo space. This, coupled with its reputation for reliability, makes it sound like a much better car... I...

    Should the US government bail out the Automakers?

    Thank you for your kind response. I don't know from where you're getting your numbers. I looked through the site but I couldn't find them on there. I did a google search and found this site by the US Department of Energy. According to this site, the Aveo's urban fuel economy is...
