  • 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.

Good point. Unless you are in martial arts we don't make an art form out of fighting. In fact it can get downright ugly.

LOL. Joe the plumber has to take a shorter lunch, so he can go defend the free world. Hilarious!

Reduce our defense budget (and thus Joe's taxes) and protect just our shores and maybe he can take a longer lunch break.

That would be like asking Americans to stop breathing, without the rest of the world to distract them Americans would be fighting each other, what would they do with all those arms? 650 billion dollars worth of death and destruction in a "Christian country", are you trying to tell us the US needs all that to protect themselves? for that kind of money a single payer health system could be set up for the US, Canada and Mexico and still have billions of dollars left over.

I thought Christians in the US were not bothered about works or deeds, for them just believing is enough, that's why most American are wasteful.
Watch the punctuation.

You're giving yourself away.

If we were going to fight each other we wouldn't let foreign distractions deter us. Except for a few incidents of violence involving race, and criminal activity, we get along pretty well, even considering our ethnic diversity. Cast against the rest of the world we're pretty peaceful.

Sure makes perfect sense.

Actually Joe and many others take a short lunch break so they can leave work earlier. A full hour is usually a waste of time.

Americans are just undereducated regarding common sense, regardless of religion.

The Israelites were pretty crude and their Anglo-American descendants haven't improved much.
Do I detect some British Israelism here, bro?

You don't honestly think any savings would get down as low as the average man in the street do you? billionaires would pocket most if not all of it, the sooner Americans realise that America is not in existence for the benefit of the average American the better.

The Constitution and Bill of Rights indicates otherwise.

The problem with the average American is that he or she is content to be just average. Of course someone has to be just average, as not everyone can be exceptional. If everyone were exceptional that would be the average. However, what is average in America would be wildly exceptional in many other places.

Personally I have done very well for myself thanks to the opportunities that have come my way. Of course I had to work very hard to develop them, but that's part of the deal. Most aren't willing to work hard enough to become materially successful.

As I understand it, the Europeans that came over here were from Japheth.

Being the offspring of Japheth means the prophecy of Noah ...

Genesis 9:27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

... was fulfilled via Manifest Destiny, since the Native Americans are Semites.

True, but only in third world countries, please tell me one modern country where the people would think Americans are "wildly exceptional"? go to any of these countries and just say one word "Trump" and see the reaction.
