  • 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'm not that narcissistic to feel like I have to have the leading voice on everything that's going on in America.

The 45-year-old rapper, who in the past has been criticized by Kirk, said he was choosing to reflect privately with loved ones rather than immediately weigh in on the tragedy, but said he refuses to believe violence offers any meaningful solution.
