• 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.

Who in their right mind would grant Data the rights of a citizen?

(Other than those who take it away from the unborn, that is.)

Have you read "The Bicentennial Man" by Isaac Asimov? It deals with the very question of what makes a human "human". Highly recommended, but read the book and skip the movie - it is not very good.

I didn't think the movie was awful, but I didn't read the book, so that probably makes a big difference. I've always enjoyed movies on that subject though.

My wife claims that the only time she cries during a movie is when a child is harmed in some way, but she cried during A.I., so I tease her that she cried for little more than a "toaster". Great movie though, by the way, I cried a little too.

Chappie was a great movie on the topic as well, and a solid action movie to boot.

Ex Machina was fantastic too, and extra pertinent as well to the topic of treating robots like humans. Since this is a Christian site though, I'll point out there was a decent amount of nudity.

If anyone watches anime there's lots of this topic there too. Ghost in the Shell is the most famous (again, nudity), but Metropolis was amazing too, and lesser known.
