  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

A Chinese province is debating the introduction of a law to FORCE people to help others in obvious distress. This comes after a two year old child was run over by two vehicles and left for dead on the street. People walking the street ignored her too UNTIL a worker cleaning garbage pulled her out of the road.

What the Chinese government must realise is that no government can LEGISLATE COMPASSION. Compassion comes when there is love. A person does not necessarily have to be a Christian to show love. What this incident showed was that people have become so calloused to the needs of others that they are unwilling to do what one would consider a natural thing to do. I am wondering if those who passed the little girl had a conscience.

These people have been 'de-programmed' of compassion by their own Govt...
...Over there it is; "the strong survive, period".

My wife's Dad was attached to a Consulate from another Asian country so she grew up there...
...They are literally taught from an early age on that emotion is a sign of weakness.
...Thus the things we Americans and other countries see as 'tear-jerkers' don't even register.

It's a tough deal.

As a fellow Trekkie I've thought the exact same thing....
...Only there is no Federation of Planets here so they are the intellectual puppets of Godless communism.

Not all mind you because I know some most excellent Chinese people....
...And there are Christians there - it's just that they are suppressed and in the minority.
