  • 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.

Thanks, I had looked it up and I got "Continuous integration"... and I was thinking, how might this apply in this conversation? You lost me there.

Thanks for clarifying.

A question is not an attack.

lol
That’s only true if your understanding of language never developed beyond the age of 5 or 6 and you don’t understand what rhetorical questions are.

“Why would you wear that?”
“Why are you going out with him?”
“How can a Christian ever vote for a Democrat?”
“How can a Christian ever vote for Trump?”



Also, feeling defensive does not mean you were attacked.
It clearly was not intended as a sincere inquiry.

So the criminal division of the IRS are the armed division of the IRS? And the people who dont file, or do not pay their taxes would be the criminals here or no?
So does the "criminal division" of the IRS kick doors in and raid with automatic weapons?

Question clearly was not an attack and not a rhetorical question. A fact, the left/democrats want 87,000 armed IRS agents, why?

1.) Not all IRS agents are armed.
2.) The IRS has a law enforcement division. LEO’s are typically armed. Are you proposing that IRS LEO’s not be armed? That’s basically “Defund the police” applied to the federal government.

Under what circumstances are LEOs permitted to discharge their firearms?

1.) Not all IRS agents are armed. They could get a Concealed Weapons Permit as a law abiding Citizen if they choose too and arm themselves.
2.) The IRS has a law enforcement division. They shouldn't, any issues from accounting errors should be turned over to the local law enforcement office for their help/Enforcement. LEO’s are typically armed. Really Are you proposing that IRS LEO’s not be armed? No good reason to have IRS LEO's That’s basically “Defund the police” applied to the federal government. Now that is another incorrect assumption.

What does it matter? I’m addressing inaccuracies in the OP’s comments.
It matters because a branch of the IRS can literally open fire and end people's lives, apparently. Why does that branch exist? When have they ever needed to open fire? If they have never done so, why would they need firearms in the first place? So many questions. If you don't have an answer, why respond at all?

A better question is, why do you want armed Federal agents and disarm/defund the Local Police?

Couldn't tell you I just learned that there was a criminal division of the IRS that packs heat which is why I was asking questions.

I'm sure they do. It's also probably very uncommon. I suspect they spend most of their time doing white collar and public corruption work.
