  • 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.

I have to take some umbrage with the title of the thread. Is it "unearthed" if the video has been up on the shows YouTube channel for years now, and public, where anyone can see it? Hard to call that "unearthing" something.

Most cities don't have the desire, or the ability, to give millions upon millions of dollars worth of resources to homeless and/or vagrant people.
So in your opinion it's better for the cities not to do anything? The resource cost of not addressing homelessness is most likely overall more taxing to the areas than doing so, it just shows up elsewhere.

Well, I haven't heard an actual policy on fracking. I just saw her say she stands by Biden's policy.
I understand that and as VP she should support her president but now she is running to be president and says her core values haven't changed, to support allies with energy we have to produce more fossil fuels yet climate change is an existential threat. So at the expense of the whole world, we will provide more energy to our allies. To me, it makes no sense.

We all know Vance's record on abortion and his core value is 100% pro-life he even supported 15-week gestation and criminal offenses after that nationwide. Now that he is picked as VP he now supports Trump's abortion plan of letting the states deal with it. Let's say he then runs for president afterward. Should he not be asked why he now supports abortion in some states and why his core values seem to have changed?

Since I don't reside in a political party I would want answers but I guess I think differently so I'll end this hear.

Don't go away. This is just getting good. I mean we've worked to arrive at some understanding of one another, but it's still not resolved.

I see the question as a loaded question. "Should he not be asked why he now supports abortion in some states and why his core values seem to have changed?"

I don't think Vance's core values have changed just because he supports giving the state the authority to regulate abortion differently. But explaining how that is so, will probably not satisfy a query which is intent on looking for an either/or answer. More than likely it will be viewed as making excuses, or not being transparent, or flip flopping.

This is the problem, there exists two primary dichotomies that we reason upon. One that deals with absolutes which is usually recognized as a positive/negative or sometimes a North/South dichotomy. The other deals with degrees which is usually called a left/right or east/west dichotomy. So, the problem is that some questions are asked using absolutes of North/South, and when answered in a left/right format it looks like it's contradictory when it isn't.

For example, if you had to choose between yes fracking and no fracking, it's two absolutes positive/negative, right? But the actual situation requires that if you don't frack, then in the short-term people freeze during the winter, but if you do frack you allow water and air to be contaminated, and in the long-term people get sick and even their DNA is altered.

Either way it's bad. The answer is we need cleaner energy, and we should be working towards that direction, but it won't happen overnight.

Don’t forget Harris sponsored the Green New Deal
As opposed to coming out of the Paris Accord? I think that's why people will be voting for her. As opposed to the other one who thinks that wind farms kill whales and who thinks he'd get electrocuted if a boat with a battery sinks.

I would vote for him over Harris and her radical left position.
