  • 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.

RACISM? No, it is not.

i'm going to try very hard not to be mean right now. excuse me if/when it comes out sounding like it.

what in the name of your Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ are you trying to say? that you aren't racist? because it sure sounds to me like you are. i wasn't entirely sure at first, i actually had to go back and read it several times because i kept saying to myself "oh no he didn't!" but oh yes, he did.

poor white people. all that those crazy minorities ever do is try to degrade your WASP culture. please--don't give me that. what about all those years of Black slavery--how does one atone for that? what about the Japanese internment in North America--how does one atone for that? what about mass extermination of Jews, biracials, homosexuals, gypsies, and countless others in the Holocaust? What about the Armenian genocide? What about the slaughter of Indians in the days of Gandhi? people have suffered and died because of stupid things mainstream white cultures have done, and you have the nerve to complain to us about how your "culture" is being flushed down les toilettes? please don't. seriously, man. i'm not saying that you are, but you make yourself out to look like, well, a punk.

other cultures are beautiful, man. you really should learn to embrace them if you want to get along with anybody worth getting along with in this life. i love speaking Spanish and French, i love talking to people from other countries, i love going to the Mandir and Amnesty International and UU conferences, i love everything about it. life is so much more beautiful when you learn to accept other people for who they are and what they do. it's wonderful! just try to open up your mind a little bit, you'll be amazed to see where it takes you.

Om Shanti.

So you hate Christians and whites and European culture and you think dismantling their society is good "payback" for the holocuast and slavery.

Are you a white-hating racist? Because you sure sound like it.

Now, let's leave ye olde 19th century and get into the 21st.

I'm not racist. I'm not American and don't feel particulary responsible for "slavery", and I was never a Nazi and hate what they did to the Jews.

I'm Canadian. I like my Canadian culture. And I applaud what our Governor General - Her Excellency Michaelle Jean [a black woman if that means anything anymore here] - did vis a vis the Christmas tree.

Just because you hate whites doesn't mean I should let you and your ilke dismantle Canadian culture.

I see nothing racist in msgstephen's posts. Actually, he has a point: racism and culturalism are not the same thing.

Then perhaps you should explain to me the difference. I have never met a so-called "culturalist" who didn't also oppose interracial marriage on the grounds that it dilutes racial purity. Are you to be the first?

Again, please don't assume that I support Islam in the slightest.

There are whites who's lips snear when they say the word. They have personal issues with their own race [or they've swallowed white-hating hook line and sinker and unconsciously knee-jerk hate all things white] and support anyone or anything who hates it.

People of every race and mixed race should feel positive about being who they are, including .. yup, you guessed it .. whites. Have a bit of self-esteem. Quit cow-towing to those who would erase your culture because they associate it with whites [even though, in Canada, our culture is not specifically white; it is, rather, Canadian].

I like beaver-tails and you cannot stop me.

hah...because I'm not white (well..actually I am half white. Russian German and Irish to be exact) you think that I'm anti-white and racist against whites?

get a life dude. That would be like me saying that ALL whites are racist. and everyone knows that is NOT true.

I never said you wanted to join the KKK. I said you sound like some of them with the whole white nationalism and "keeping our white culture" and "keeping America christian bit". I was giving you a taste of what you're giving everyone else; to every person who disagrees with you, you accuse them of being anti white and racist.

so hows that feel to be on the recieving end of someone else's stupidity?

who said that white people dont and cant have self esteem?

and people who arent completely "whites only" like you are hate their own race? I doubt that. I wonder how you feel about interracial marriage

and no its not "white culture" because not every white person comes from the same cultural background. Culture in Russia is very different from culture in England, and so on. Each culture is as valid and good as the rest. whether it be Russian, Irish, Scottish, French...etc or it be Hispanic or African or Asian.

the only one saying otherwise is you.

So Christianity is a white man's religion? That's news to me.

beaver tails? what? anyway, don't you tell me to stop "cow-towing" to nothing, dude. just because i'm not a "culturalist" doesn't mean i'm doing anything to please the masses. i think for myself, thank you kindly, and have a nice day.

Now you are twisting my words. But then, you don't care enough about your replies to capitalize and to punctuate enough to make them comprehensible. I won't be replying to your posts anymore after this until you do.

picky picky.

How is this. Is this good English according to you?

sorry I'm not in school anymore and I could really care less.

so is that code for "since I cant answer him, I'll tell him to type how I want to"?
