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.

Black Muslim firefighter was harassed for 12 years by co-workers for complaining about FDNY racism
- Thread starter SummerMadness
- Start date
The fire department, is especially homogeneous in its makeup, which creates problems like this. Not only should the offending officers be fired, but the heads of these stations should be sacked and demoted. There also needs to be a concerted effort to change the diversity of the FDNY; at least one thing has changed, which was changing the firefighter test that had little to do with firefighting (the federal judge in that case said, the exam couldn't distinguish qualified/unqualified candidates, or even the difference between the quality of candidates).
