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.

I'm not a footy fan. As far as that goes, I don't watch sport generally, although I play Masters Hockey (bunch of old blokes chasing after a ball with sticks). I'll play sport but I don't watch it much.
But just for the sake of the post, our Australian team got beaten by the All Blacks 27-7 at Eden Park in Auckland. It seems we haven't won a game at that venue since 1986.
All Blacks win second Bledisloe Cup Test as Wallabies' Eden Park woes continue
But then I read a New Zealander who later joined the British SAS saying that Rugby Union is more of a religion in New Zealand than a sport, with quarter neither asked nor given. Two blokes might be the best of mates, but only until they ran onto the football field.
One of the chaps I play with or against now and again in Masters Hockey lived in Kiwiland for a few years. He played ice hockey while he was there. He said if you happened to knock over a Maori player, they came up swinging. They're a warrior race, and very strongly built.
