  • 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.

The White House has launched a bizarre website that says aliens "walk among us", but not everything is as it seems.

Readers may be forgiven for thinking the site reveals the release of more UFO files but, towards the end of the cryptic lines of text and pro-Trump sentiment, it becomes apparent the page tracks the number of arrests ICE has made across the US.

It also encourages Americans to report their neighbours, provides a digital form where people can "report suspicious aliens" to ICE, and features a map showing where "aliens" have been arrested in the country.

Thank goodness that systemic medical neglect and abuse, and denials of adequate food and water or being sent to a foreign gulag only happens to illegal aliens and not undocumented immigrants. Otherwise we'd have to feel empathy about doing such things to other people, our fellow humans.

But we don't have to feel bad when their whole existence can be summed up as "illegal" and their humanity can be disregarded by referring to them as "alien". You don't have to feel empathy for what happens to an alien, they don't have any humanity after all.

How joyous people were when this administration got rid of the term undocumented in favor of the term alien.


The dehumanizing connotations are obvious to all but the willfully obtuse.

Personally when I hear the word alien I always think of the xenomorph. You have to nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. (Or at least place them into an airlock to be sucked into outer space)

The dehumanization of millions of people living and working in this country is one of the greatest crimes by this already very criminal administration.

I really thought someone was slandering the Trump admin with this (as if thats even possible - but still...)

Yet it appears to be real.

Still its so bad I can hardly believe it. I went there and if real it really illustrates what a moral abomination this presidency is.

From the website:

If you’ve witnessed an Alien abduction, do not be alarmed
The Alien is in good hands.
We will take care of it… and return it safely to its place of origin.

NB: "it"

There’s a very warm place in the afterlife waiting for some of these people in this administration.

This would be the “absurdities” part of the Voltaire quote. This is “normal”, but an extreme example.
