  • 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.

Good. He should never have been charged and the only reason he was because Viktor Orban was an evil dictator. Now that Orban is thankfully gone common sense prevails

From the link:

But in April, the European Court of Justice ruled that Hungary's anti-LGBTQ laws violate EU rules and infringe its values of equality and minority rights.

The laws banned so-called promotion of homosexuality or gender change to under-18s, arguing it violated child protection laws.
Citing that ruling on Thursday, Hungarian prosecutors announced that the charges had been dropped.
"Considering the ruling by the European Court... the prosecutors dropped charges against the Budapest mayor for violating the law on freedom of assembly," they said in a statement.
The ruling came nine days after Hungarians voted to end Orbán's 16-year era of continuous rule. Péter Magyar was later sworn in as the country's new prime minister.
Seems like equal parts EU and local regime change. I hope society continues in this direction.
