• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

No, it's about far left insurrectionists.
"Far left"? It is about AIDS activists protesting Speaker McCarthy's actions (or failues to act) on PEPFAR.

That doesn't make it so. Insurrection involves quite a bit more than unlawful entry.

Circular? Bunny trail? It's pretty straightforward and obvious.
Your theory of “the guiltier they are the more innocent they become” is not straightforward or obvious. It’s a circular logic bunny trail.

What are we up to now? 4 or 5 out of 1500? Just curious how the per capita crime rate for this group compares to the general population.
By end of the year Trump's gonna have to pardon them all over again.

What message did Richard Barnett leave in Speaker Pelosi's office? I forget.
Since I've already necro'ed the thread, I'll note that Barnett just had a nice interview with Newsmax, where he expressed "no regrets" for doing what Trump asked him to do.

What part of "I said so" don't you understand?
I guess the part where "I said so" doesn't mean "it is so" has everyone else chuckling, even if you seem to pretend it does.

A lot of people say the J6ers were engaged in insurrection when they obviously weren't, so if they can do it so can I.

Because it fits the definition. There is no "obviously weren't". This sort of argument is just childish of you.

Why would the government be getting rid of AID research and medicine. I would think Christians would want people , babies and kids to live longer. BTW , This is nothing close to what Trump caused on January 6th. And these people were arrested. And didn't harm anyone or caused the death of anyone.

Intention plays a big part in it too. The "mob" were hasseling the Speaker about a legislative vote. The J6ers were trying to disrupt the voting process entirely.
