  • 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.

Letter From Michael Moore

I am very close to people that some might deem "overweight." My making fun of his looks does not invalidate my claim that he is a liar. Saying that I am making fun of him just because he is overweight is to not look deeply enough at the root of my dislike of his actions.

Kind of like someone who says that when people make fun of them because they're in the fine arts, but at the same time the person being made fun of in the fine arts is a jerk. Being a jerk is the REAL reason they are being made fun of. The fine arts part is only the ammunition. They still earned that disrespect. The person being made fun of doesn't want to see it that way because then they might have to acknowledge to themselves that they are a jerk, and that they might have to change. Heaven forbid!

I don't like the things he says because he is slanted and one-sided. He intentionally does not give the full story so he can spew his opinions and seem like he has a point. THAT IS IRRESPONSIBLE. Michael Moore wants you to believe that the reason people want him silenced is because he deals with "untouchable" subjects. No. That is how he gets his followers--because he seems like he has a noble cause.

The reason people don't like him is BECAUSE HE CANNOT SPEAK THE WHOLE TRUTH. Yet he spouts off like the things he has to say are facts. In that sense, he's like (what used to be) the Iraqi media. In real life, using deception to persuade others to your point of view is always unethical. He would never make it as an objective journalist; he would bring way too much baggage to the newsroom.

Furthermore, can anyone give me a list of at least a couple of items of GOOD THINGS that Saddam has done? And is there a more effective way to take Saddam out of power than through war? There may not even be another effective way. He's been given tons of chances already.

I think I've said all I have to say; if anyone doesn't like it, that's too bad. I don't know any better way to put it.
