  • 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.

I was thinking that it's been a long time since I heard a national anthem that's not on your list. When I was younger (40-50 years ago), the American TV station that covered the Olympics generally showed the medal ceremonies for the various competitions, so we got to hear the anthems of the nations that were strong in those sports -- yes, the US, but also Norway, Romania, the Soviet Union, Japan, and so on. These days, I only hear the US's anthem in Olympics coverage. And, sure, yay for the home team, but I like hearing the other anthems too.

Of the ones you listed, the only one I wasn't familiar with was "Flower of Scotland", so I looked it up. "But we can still rise now and be the nation again that stood against him, proud Edward's army, and sent him homeward tae think again." Interestingly defiant!
