  • 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 realize I'm going to probably sounds like an old man here. But, that's ok because many would probably consider me an old man.

What's gotten into our kids?

I went to a small, rural, high school many years ago. No security cameras, no guards or school cops. Every boy I knew (myself included) carried a pocket knife everywhere, including to school.

There were plenty of fights. Teenage boys were still hormone filled knuckleheads back then and prone to arguing and fighting with each other. Usually over stupid things.
Seems like at least once a month some boys got into a tussle. Sometimes one (or both) got a suspension or something. Sometimes nothing happened as a result.

But, despite all the fights and all the boys carrying a pocket knife we never had 1 single instance of a stabbing.

Things went far astray to go from that years ago, to this..
