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.

When you make anything illegal demand for it skyrockets. Is that not what black markets are about?

That is simply a conversational question. A question that answers another question is much trickier to frame.
To provide an example -
The question -
Is that not what black markets are about?
Answering the question with a question -
Black markets always indicate thievery and lying, don't they?
The question was answered with the statement that black markets always indicate thievery and lying. This is turned into a question with the addition of "don't they?"
Or, to phrase a new question which would address your interest, you could pose it as,
Black markets attract people like you, don't they?

Don't you think that simply putting "don't they?" at the end of a statement is actually less tricky?
