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.

Pre civil rights. Backlash to welfare programs came when it was perceived as helping too many undeserving and undesirable blacks. Over time, the rhetoric and policies that were once explicitly racist (e.g. closing public pools because they were required to admit blacks) morphed into being superficially race-neutral (but fairly dog-whistle-ish wherein "poor" was interpreted as "black") and then, after a couple generations, ultimately became just anti-poor.

No one cares about politcally correct speech nonsense anymore. Third World nations are precisely what they are and precisely what they will remain

They did. Try taking responsibility for yourselves. There's a reason most of these places are ####holes, and it isn't because they were colonies who had their vities, transportation systems, utilities, etc. built for them by first world countries. It's because they don't know how to build and innovate, all their cultures are capable of is patching and repairing what was given to them.

"Third world" is archaic Cold War language referring to nations not aligned with the US or the USSR. It is out of date by 1/3 of a century. Whatever meaning it had 40 years ago is gone. Use words that still have meaning.
