  • 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Eye for an eye?

Not really. See, most dollars are just dollars. You can easily replace one with another. But take something like a hand. Cut mine off and put yours on instead, and it is still not my hand. The more mundane something is, the more likely it will be able to be replaced, and that the law should. Non-mundane things which can be replaced with mundane varieties should also be the same. If you stab me and rupture my kidney, then I do not see it unfair that you should be required to pay for a new kidney to be grown for me (assuming they have the kidney growing process working yet). But removal of your own kidney is acting on a non-mundane thing, and thus is not reasonable (and also, is not likely to be any where near as effective as a kidney grown from my own cells).

I agree if there is a more effective measurement, it should be taken. I was just saying that it is fair, as far as it goes.
