  • 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.

Is the love of money the root of many evils?
If there was BUCKETS of cash in being virtuous would the world be filled with virtuous men?

We're not discussing virtue. We're discussing exploitation.

It's called Trolling. The purpose is to see how many people care enough about an off-topic and nonsensical comment made by a random person on the internet to disrupt their conversations to engage said person. It's a "fun" way of proving to yourself that you have power over other people and, therefore, are meaningful.

Do you have any evidence that free will exist?

I don´t know that discerning consent requires "freewill" (whatever that may be) in the philosophical sense. Consent in this context merely means that you - without being directly or immediately forced into it by others - agree with what you engage in.

It certainly is the root of many of what I, personally, would call 'evil'.

That depends entirely on your definition of 'virtuous' (and yes, on your definition of 'virtue'). What you hold to be a virtue, I might not, and vice-versa. For example, i see nothing unvirtuous about being a participant in the production of pornography.

Your poll is flawed. The only correct answer is that some pornography exploits but pornography does not NECESSARILY exploit. Porn about young buxom lasses who love nothing better then to please man is exploitative. Pornography that is as much about the womans pleasure as the mans is not exploitative. Pornography exists in many different stripes, some are exploitative, some are not.
