  • 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 Ethics and Morality of poking fun at depression and suicide (and mental illness)

    Consider that what worked for you not only will not work for everyone else, but could seriously harm them. This advice is a great way to drive a person right over the edge if they're suicidal. Stop saying it.

    The Ethics and Morality of poking fun at depression and suicide (and mental illness)

    Please don't say things like that. It's dangerous to go untreated and think you can handle mental illness yourself, and it'll make people who can't just 'snap out of it' feel even more guilty and useless because they can't. Not to mention that suggesting people can just choose to not feel...

    The mosquito device... should it be banned

    It might not cause damage, but it just gave me a pounding headache and made me nauseous. And this was at a low volume where I couldn't actually audibly hear it. My partner could hear it, so apparently there's something rather odd about my hearing.

    Isn't that a good way for a church to lose their tax exempt status?

    DDOS on Scientology?

    On the other hand, the anti-Scientologists are getting quite a lot of media attention out of this. Personally, before all of this, I had no idea of the atrocities Scientologists have committed against those who spoke out against them. I've moved from vague dislike of a crazy cult to seeing...

    Taboos

    Here's one: what about consensual, adult incest?

    Racism is sport

    It is not acceptable. It also should not be, IMO, illegal. Unless you're promoting actual violence, inciting hatred should still fall under free speech.

    Has your girlfriend/wife boyfriend/husband got a responsibility to look good?

    One thing to consider is that sometimes taking care of oneself isn't about selfishness, laziness, not caring, or not trying; depression can manifest as a lack of motivation in even something as basic as this, and something such as losing a job could intensify such a thing. I know that I've had...
