• 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.

Social democracies also have least socio-economic inequality and poverty and higher social mobility. Social democracies rank as the world's most stable states, safest, happiest, prosperous, least corrupt, most socially inclusive countries with strongest democracies, most freedom, best governance and judical systems and most human wellbeing and most human capital, just to name a few indexes where social democractic capitalism excels.

I am not familiar with those terms.
UBI = Universal basic income
GMI = Guaranteed Minimum Income (a less expensive variant)

Is Capitalism working?

hello mindlight.

I think Capitalism, Socialism and all other isms are horns on the same goat. The problem is not the system, it's the wickedness of the human heart.

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? (Jer 17:9)

All systems will produce injustice, because unjust people operate the system. The solution is not another system, a heart change will have effect.

And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. (Ezek 36:26).

But the big change will be the arrival of Godly, righteous government at the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. He shall come, then we shall see peace and righteousness, then every tear will be wiped from every eye.

God Bless :)
