  • 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.

You dismiss the "majority" of the human race as being moronic, and lament that they do not "respect" liberty and equality, but this is done with an attitude of blatant disrespect and apathy.

It may be disrespectful, but I do care about their good.

Should these morons care that you think they are morons?

Probably not. I'm just some random person.

I think it quite ironic how people can even entertain the idea of whether or not it would be better for them to never have existed. The irony is not so easily comprehended I guess.

Why? Life is quite easy for those in a first world country, with health, and a lack of great suffering.

I find it hard to imagine, but I can believe that for some they could reasonably say they wish they had never been born.

Life, even the most bitterest and harshest life is still life. Nothing is nothing and nothing plus nothing is nothing and nothing minus nothing is nothing. He is trying to make a point, but it is just.........well, for the lack of a better word..................... nothing............

:lost:

Why does it matter if it is still life? Even the Bible says that it could be better for some that they were never born. For some life could be hell on earth.
