• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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

Is it fair or just for a system or policy to give to some and not others based on immutable traits?

It could be, certainly. It depends on how our concept of justice is constructed.

"equity" is a word that should never be used since it can't be achieved. The dictionary definitions aren't representative of how the terms "equality" and "equity" are being used in a "social justice" sense. If it was there would be no need for all the diversity and inclusion, quotas, and CRT nonsense we are seeing implemented everywhere it doesn't need to be.

It really is that old meme about the guys standing on the boxes watching a ballgame. If someone else needs the box more than you then they get it and you don't .... that's how equity is being pushed regardless of what a dictionary says. Some dictionaries, btw, are changing definitions on the fly now whenever a new meaning is pushed into the lexicon, even if people don't agree. We are quite literally making communication impossible.
