  • 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

I don’t know all of the details but I learned that Kids are cutting classes to protest the presence of ICE where I live. I don’t want to provide articles that could give away information about where I live.

Apparently the protests have gotten violent but no one has been hurt. Just arrested. Kids from both high schools have been cutting classes for a while to protest ICE agents being around. Kids shouting at cars as they go by.

It would be my luck that they decide to throw rocks as I drive by. Just kidding.

I’m trying to look into this more closely to discover what is going on. I have some journalism training and I can provide more information if any is available. Maybe I can interview a rock as it flies by my head. lol !

Kids are gullible. I have a generally negative impression of activists because it seems like too many behave inappropriately and/or violently, cursing at people, obstructing law enforcement, vandalizing law enforcement vehicles, burning down buildings, blocking traffic, interrupting church services, throwing frozen water bottles and rocks, and creating an atmosphere of chaos and confusion.

Youth are not noted for thinking clearly. That included us when we were that age. Walk-outs accomplish nothing but cutting classes. Meanwhile, they could act as a voting block in a few years and accomplish far more. See how far that goes, though.
