  • 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.

Indeed they should pull the plug on the Ivies since this is where there is a lot of antisemitism. I've noticed a trend in these schools as we go forward in time. Usually it's standard that there is a substantial Jewish population. So as they diversified & as high schools indoctrinated it kind of becomes natural that college kids go to "camp" to learn how to rebel. And they can't distinguish between terrorists & people trying to preserve their homeland. The argument going is one should feel sorry for everyone & then permit any behavior they like. No that's not what Christ taught to just allow freedom to do anything. If that were so, then some person could just say gee I like to set fires as my leisure activity. This is also pointing out the shortfall in American education. I don't know how well they expose kids to material on the Holocaust & the Gestapo, SS, SD, SA or Stalin's purges or the treatment of the Yugurs in China. I think the very progressive approach is everyone should get along to get along & that every past grievance must be retaliated to square the circle so vengeance becomes the norm. My feeling is that you cannot rehabilitate Satan. Nor should you.
