  • 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 word on one of Charlie Kirk's views: RACE.

He was asking legitimate questions about affirmative action and DEI policies.
What he said was racist. You need to re align in your head the difference between what YOU incorrectly think is not racist with what everyone else thinks is racist.

Why do you need to do that? So people don’t draw erroneous conclusions about you because I don’t think you are a racist.

If (race) is intrinsically more violent because they lack neanderthal dna from 120,000 years ago.
Yeah but that is not true. Don’t be silly. Injuries found on remains of Neanderthals had horrendous injuries showing that they had a far more dangerous existence than the relatively fragile and gracile h. Sapiens Sapiens.

It is not racist to mention the race of 80% of those receiving benefits by race.
Mentioning race isn't racist. Implying (or even outright stating) that someone is inferior because of their race is though. Oh - like this:
If (race) is intrinsically more violent because they lack neanderthal dna from 120,000 years ago. These problems will get worse not better. In a sense, we are falling already to manage this problem.
