• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Another Example of Intolerable Extremists

Wrong about what? That there is no objective definition of obscenity? You can believe there is an objective definition you like, but if you want to impose it on anyone else you must first show it to be objective.

Probably. However, no sense in continuing if you will not give us your objective definition of "obscene".

There is no objective definition. What I deem obscene and what you might deem the same will often align. But where we differ will be a matter of personal interpretation. But again, I saw nothing last week that a reasonable person could define as obscene. You included. But then I'm stretching the definition of 'reasonable' now.

Calm yourself and learn from this.
