• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

That's my point.

Good leadership is able to find or provide that. Good leadership doesnt abandon it.

Then let's unify under what Charlie Kirk stood for with encouraging open discourse free from violence, cancel culture, and accusations of hate speech just because there cannot be an agreement. Let's unify with having more Charlie Kirks around who are willing to have conversations with people. The worst thing anyone can possibly do is suggest that Kirk's words brought about his death.

It reminds me of the last 50 years of the western Roman Empire. Leadership was lacking. Empire imploded. History repeats itself.

Is that SERIOUSLY thr worst thing someone being labeled ad a martyr could have said about them? That their words mattered to people? As much as some liked his words, others were hurt and ostracized.

there is still no concrete report as to this guys leanings. So we don't know Anyhring solid yet.

Maybe universities should teach the old parable, "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me." How much do you think Charlie Kirk felt hurt and ostracized because someone in the audience was calling him names? But this brings us to the crux of the matter, the radical left knows that baseless and emotional charged insults dont have the same effect on conservatives. They cant hurt our feelings, so they resort to physical harm.

Nobody on this forum is full of hate of conservatives AND realizes they have to resort to physical violence BECAUSE nothing they say will do any good.
Good thing I am not talking about anyone on this forum. Unless they are planing to throw a milkshake at me if they see me on the street wearing a Trump 2028 hat.

Half of the voters are liberal democrat and half are conservative republican. Which side should give into the other to achieve unity?

I would say half the voters have to vote for liberal Democrats and half the voters have to vote for conservative Republicans. Most of the people I know and myself don't really fit into a party of all or nothing. Perhaps if there were more choices instead of the person picked by party leadership.
