  • 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.

Democratic Party continues to fall

There's no such thing as trans children. Only kids who might have mental health issues - God does not make mistakes.

Telling kids they were created wrong and subjecting them to castration among other horrific and life altering surgeries, chaining them to doctors and drug therapies for life is what is actual abuse.

Helping a child through a challenging time by the recognition and reinforcement of reality is positive.

Yes that is why I said “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven." Matthew 18:9-11 Leave the children be.

Although I do not believe that a female child wanting to play with construction toys is a mental health problem, that is too OT for this thread.

I don't think it particularly matters what toys kids play with. I've always thought kids are just kids .. they just have fun as kids and I always figured to let them. They grow up soon enough...



My kids, boys and girl, went from bottle rocket wars to paintball fights to tea and cookies and little sandwiches- no issues.. lol. Kids just do kids.

Looks like they're doubling down on identity politics.
It's really interesting far-right talking points need to resort to talking about what fringe groups on the left are doing rather than report the good news of what the mainstream right is accomplishing now that they're in power.

That it's a "mistake" is a value judgement. It is the source of the pressure which leads the more desperate to the awful interventions you describe.
Telling kids they were created wrong and subjecting them to castration among other horrific and life altering surgeries, chaining them to doctors and drug therapies for life is what is actual abuse.
Fortunately, most trans persons are never driven to such extremes. In cultures where there are four excepted genders instead of just two it rarely happens. But certainly it should never be allowed for children.
Helping a child through a challenging time by the recognition and reinforcement of reality is positive.
That would be the ideal. However, conservatives are adamant that we should deny recognition.

Why don't they focus on more IMPORTANT ESSENTIAL issues like say, the economy? I know a woman who claimed Harris loss because of sexism and racism. Not so. Reality says otherwise.

Fight in the streets? Did they actually use the word fight? Why that's insurrectionist talk. How dare they use the word fight.

Elected Democratic Congress People:
Marching around, yelling slogans, rousing the rabble:
"Save Our Democracy" "Resist" "Fight in the Streets"
From Elected Officials?
Doesn't Jeffries have a day job? I kinda thought he was elected to work in Congress.
I suppose it is more fun, going to protests, being inflammatory on camera than sitting around a conference room trying to pass a budget.
Or straightening up our alphabet agencies or actually doing what he was elected to do.

Not much work going on in Congress right now. Republicans control it, and they don't do much of anything.

Not so, here, (for example) is a fine piece of legislation designed to [checks notes] expunge the second impeachment of Donald J. Trump!
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and stroke the ego of our illustrious, beloved leader, Donald Trump, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

-- A2SG, bill to rewrite the preamble pending, I've no doubt.....
