  • 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.

Two gay men in Nashville recorded themselves taunting the baby they obtained through surrogacy as he cried desperately for his mother. The now viral clip has ignited fury across X.

The clip opens with one man asking the infant, “Who do you want, Dada or Pop?” The baby responds, “Mama.” The man replies, “No, there is no mama,” and the baby cries.

The baby is making sounds easiest to make during early babbling as children learn to control the muscles used in speaking. The baby is not calling out for the surrogate who carried him, it is just a natural early sound he can produce. The father is obviously having fun with his child and not mocking.

Aren’t there bigger things to fuss over than something that plays out in nearly every home with a babbling baby? Baby says “mama”, daddy says “say dada“ instead playing in fun.

If you think this is "taunting" and that this baby is crying for his biological mother, that says a lot more about you than about the people in the video.

Also, don't read zerohedge. It rots your brain.

But this nicely illustrates an important point: STOP POSTING YOUR PRIVATE VIDEOS ONLINE!

If this is directed at me, no where did I post my opinion. I posted so people can post their opinions and talk about it.

Exactly. People tend to have a hard time with that concept around here.

I never said that this was directed at you. I was directing it at anyone who might read it and who holds that opinion, as well as the person who wrote this piece.

But you thought it worthy of posting and being talked about. People post things that resonate with them. It's why I laugh when people only post about certain things but not other things that are similar but in a different context even though the underlying issue is the same, like where we spend tax dollars.

You posted this for a reason. You thought it important enough. Why did you think that?

Here's my opinion on it - this is disgusting

Not what the loving gay couple is doing, but the insinuation that what they are doing is "evil" and "depraved." Absolutely disgusting take on the whole thing.

What do YOU think?

To clarify: posting a topic for discussion is not an endorsement of any specific viewpoint. I’m here to observe the discourse, not to participate in a debate or defend myself against assumptions. I am under no obligation to share my personal stance, and I have no interest in doing so.

If this topic doesn't appeal to you or you find the engagement unproductive, you are perfectly free to move on without commenting. I’m choosing to keep my views private to keep the focus on others perspectives which is what I was interested in. I’ve addressed this now, and I won’t be responding anymore to interrogations regarding my motives.

I post things that do not resonate with me all the time. And so do many others. Many post a variety of things to spark discussion. But your all knowing) judgement is noted. Thats what I think. Lol

It's fine that you have no interest in sharing your own views, people will guess at your view if you withhold it. Human nature, like it or not. It would be polite to ask rather than assume, but since you have declared that you refuse, there is no point in asking (now).

The OP is framed a certain way: "The clip opens with one man asking the infant, “Who do you want, Dada or Pop?” The baby responds, “Mama.” The man replies, “No, there is no mama,” and the baby cries." This is taken from the article, although that is only clear if upon going to the article itself.

It implies that the baby cries because of what her father said. This is how you chose to present the topic - it is basically rage bait for both sides as it was not presented neutrally - making babies cry is an inflammatory topic as is gay parenthood for some. Since you don't want to say what you want this discussion to focus on, perhaps don't complain if it is not the direction you prefer.

lol so I choose to present the topic by literally copy/pasting the first section of the article itself, then that's not ME presenting anything other than a copy/paste job, but okay.

The problem with threads like this one is that it's against forum rules to endorse homosexuality and that topics like this are really easy to get people to break that rule and catch a warning.

Baby being loved and supported by his two parents…is bad, (for some raisin).

Obtain a suitcase.
The same crowd that likes to crow about adoption and being "pro-family" also kvetched when Pete Buttigieg took paternity leave after adopting twins.

Let's not discuss posters, but the content of posts, as per the rules of the forum.

...I didn't see the word "you" anywhere in the OP, so I don't know why were talking about "you".
