  • 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

    Do you think AIDS is God's punishment on gays?

    Because God obviously loves us best. We can whip up a batch of cookies AND change the oil in the truck. ;)

    Majority of Americans Support Domestic Intercepts

    No it isn't. You questioned the warrant requirement because you appear to have believed retroactive warrants give carte blanche for any kind of snooping. Which, in fact, they don't. Why do continue to insist that the 4th Amendment doesn't apply if "one end" of a call isn't in the US? Is a US...

    Majority of Americans Support Domestic Intercepts

    FISA allows the retroactive warrants to accomodate emergency situations. Those warrants still must meet the requirement of any other warrant--if there was no probable cause before the surveillance took place, no matter what it kicked up, the warrant is not to be granted, and any evidence...

    Majority of Americans Support Domestic Intercepts

    I'm not sure why more people here aren't concerned about Gonzales' statement that the President didn't go to Congress for formal authorization of the surveillance program because he didn't think Congress would give it to him. Shouldn't that tell you something? Is it not problematic to have a...

    "Rape victims are not victims but sinners"

    That they can go ahead and bang the incoherent drunk girl in the bathroom at the party because if she put herself in that position, she's at least partially at fault? I understand where you're coming from, I really do. Preparation and caution and necessary in all aspects of life, not just how...

    NBC to Air Series About Dysfunctional Christian Family

    I thought the previews looked twisted... and I mean that in a good way. I'll give it a look. You'd think the AFA would learn one of these days that their breathless boycotts of every affront to their sensibilities only create positive publicity for the very things they're hoping to destroy.

    Challenge answered--the definitive Scally year-end holiday

    Okay, a couple of people said they'd hoped I had come up with a new holiday. So while lying awake waiting for Santa, I brainstormed the basics of a good way to end the year, no matter what variation of traditional holidays you might celebrate then already. This does not supplant, but rather...

    Ethics and Morality of Scally's Holiday

    Nah, no debate here--simply taking this completely inappropriate (for this forum) way to wish all my pals and sparring partners a very happy winter holiday of choice. This is where I hang out the most on CF, after all, so there you go. I'm hoping for a merry Christmas myself, with a healthy...

    Brokeback Mountain

    I suspect the underlying reason why "we" cannot accept images of gay couples as stable, monogamous, normal people is because it undermines all the good-faith efforts to portray them as drug-addicted, jaw-droppingly promiscuous, STD-riddled drag queens whose sole purpose in life is to convert...

    Brokeback Mountain

    Ah yes, Kong... the hyper-sexualized big jungle ape is overpowered by primal lust and loses his mind over getting his freak on with the paragon of human innocence, the helpless blonde female, and is destroyed when his obsession threatens to destroy the paragon of Western society, New York City...

    Can someone actually be born gay?

    BZZZZZT, nope, sorry, wrong. No one here that I have seen advocates "anything goes." If you had paid even the slightest attention you would have see the words "adult" and "consent" put out there. If it happens between two consenting adults--here, "consenting" fully implies competence--it's okay...

    Brokeback Mountain

    I suspect that someone who wants to leave his wife and children will be looking for encouragement (or "signs" supporting what he really wants to do) just about anywhere he can find it. That is, simply viewing that movie (or any gay-positive movie or other entertainment medium) isn't going to...
