  • 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.

The RIAA Is Lying To You!

Late last year, musician George Ziemann published a well-researched
article about the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
When the RIAA isn't busy fending off intruder attacks on its Web site,
the organization is apparently busy spreading misinformation about the
effects of Internet piracy on the recording industry. According to
data outlined in Ziemann's article, the record industry has cut its
inventory and artist investments by 25 percent but sales have dropped
only 4.1 percent. Considering the shape of the economy, that number is
pretty impressive. More important, online file-sharing services don't
appear to be having as much of an impact on music sales as the RIAA
would like us to believe. We highly recommend you check out this
detailed article.
