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.
Do we live in a shared society?

What do you mean by a shared society? We live in a democratic society were people are aloud to express their views (within certain guidelines), is that what you mean?

That's what our politicians and the media tries to tell us, but the facts and video evidence shows that we don't.
These videos taken show that we don't have a shared society in N.Ireland and i presume its similar in other parts of the UK.

We can all cherry pick the images we wish to use to demonstrate a point. That doesn't make the point valid. You need to present a far more balanced argument - where are the Orange Parades?

You're being biased again. Many from both sides of the community are at fault, and the deep divisions in Northern Ireland are in no small part due to the systematic oppression carried out by the Unionists between partition and the early 1990s. That doesn't mean that any Republican paramilitary groups were justified in what they did, but it has to be recognised when unionists paint their own side as blameless and whiter than white.
