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.

Sorry for the confusion, I was in the hospital when I wrote that and was a little wozzy on my phone.Rack
Hey my dear native-speakers help me out: why does it say: "to rack one's brain[/s]"? Why plural? We only have one brain, haven't we?
Yes, you can say rack or wrack my brain or also use it like when something is tedious to say 'nerve-racking'.
The term comes from the Inquisition, where they put people on the rack and tortured them, thus they were 'racked'.
