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.

Losing malls is the price we pay for convenience.
You can't gain something without losing something else. If people want 2 day delivery, access to everything in the world on your phone, insane amounts of choices and so on them what needs to be sacrificed is what you're replacing those conveniences with.
Evolution is designed to take the place of something that is defunct.
Some malls still exist but Ive only seen 2 types. Upscale malls with stores full of really expensive stuff like apple stores, coach purses, jewelry stores, and over priced fashion. The others are dumps of junk stores that are just high grade flea market booths and where fashion stores are considered hot topic.
But the idea of malls from when I was a kid where you had all kinds of great stores, food courts with new things to eat, and a social atmosphere where people talked to each other? Those days are gone. Phones took away people's social skills, fast food and restaurants are on every single corner with the ability to have even McDonald's delivered to you, and the internet took away the fun of seeing new things.
The internet killed malls.
