  • 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.

It definitely shows the potential dangers of foreign owned apps and the dangers of social media in general.

Kids were threatening representatives lives as well as their own, the phone lines of Congress were blown up with calls from middle school aged children.

It did manage to completely unite lawmakers however. That's something nearly impossible to do... The bill passed with a 50-0 vote.

It does make you wonder where parents are today though in their kids lives. I really think there's a problem and this shows it clearly with social media and children.

I feel so sorry for the kids. It's not their fault that TicTok is Chinese owned, and it has become a huge part of their lives. I grieve for the kids in so many ways! It's the adults who pack their heads with so many bad ideas. Happened to my generation with the Hippie culture ideas brought on by adults, and what's being thrown their way these days is absolutely appalling!

The hippie movement was started by adults? I suppose you might say that adults drove us to it, but I don't think that's what you meant.

100% down.

Tiktok is a blight to north America. The way it throttles intelligent content in North America but enhances it in china; then pushes nonsense to our kids.


Boo tiktok. I try not to be old or curmudgeonly but on this issue I don't care. I'll go full Mr Wilson on those guys.


Boo!
