  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

We live in a sick society when we normalize violent protests. And academia is sick, when they say these kinds of protests are what make America, America.

This is not who we are as a people, and it's not who we've "always been".

That wasn't the first violent protest, by any means, even the first anti-war protests. My thought is the NY Draft riot, during the Civil War, was the first violent anti-war protest. There is a rather long tradition of violent protests in the US; I'm not saying that is a good thing, just that it is nothing new.
