  • 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.

And every war has its real world detractors. Their point of view is valid and if they claimed war movies furthered stereotypes that are damaging to efforts at peace they would not be wrong. Just because the movie does not track to the real world does not mean it can not be damaging to a cause.
Too many negatives to follow. I'm not sure of what you were talking about.

Pardon, it made perfect sense in my head. I'm saying the simply because a movie might not be true to life does not remove the possability that it might be harmful to efforts to correct issues.

Who argues that because a movie is not true to life that it does remove the possibility that it might be harmful to efforts to correct issues?

Only if all ongoing efforts to fight child trafficking got diverted in that single direction.

But that's not how the fight goes. That's not even how it went in the case of that movie. A case begins with a missing child, not with the general methodology of how children go missing.

Did you read the OP that equated criticizing the movie with defending pedophilia?
