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.

Is a prostitute a criminal?
A lot of people will tell you that, on the contrary, a prostitute is a victim.
I think that to be in violation of the law is one thing while being a criminal is another. Sometimes the two coincide. Other times they do not.
What about people who broke the law in Nazi Germany and aided potential Holocaust victims? What about the Underground Railroad? What about Martin Luther King, Jr.? Those people broke the law. Did that make them "criminals"?
What about civil disobedience being not only okay morally but a moral imperative?
I think that the intentions of the law in question and the intentions of the person breaking that law determine whether or not one is a "criminal".
Do the laws that "illegal immigrants" are violating have good intentions?
Do the immigrants violating U.S. immigration law have bad intentions?

too bad the white illegal settlers who moved in hoards on the natives' land weren't dealt with harshly such as these 'criminals'.
