  • 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 asking what caused the issue, I'm asking how to end the issue.

Not the place for blame placing nor pontification.

You have just been elected President - what do you do to protect the innocent?

Practical steps:

The most effective way to protect against ISIS is familiarise yourself with the comparative risk they pose. Which is less than that posed by cows.

So another words you would do nothing because you don't see them as a viable threat.

Nuke America. Then, there would be no reason to attack.

So in answer to the question.

As president what would I do to keep us safe.

We have the following answers number one is our president I would vote for Trump

number two if I were president I would ignore it because it's not that big of a threat

number three is our president I would kill everybody in the United States

If you're looking for something more substantial: I would also kick out the Kardashians. I would make 24 and Homeland the only non-news programs on TV. CNN, PBS, and MSNBC anchors, reporters and producers would all be executed live and uncensored on FOX News. Goodbye WNBA.

Our curent security measures are more than adequate. If you're asking me for something extra, I'd say stop the media blowing it all out of proportion. The entire point of terrorism is to make a big statement. If the media toned it way down, and focused on things in a more rational fashion, we'd see fewer terrorist attacks than we have now.

Since the point of terrorism is to, well, terrorize... it makes sense to limit coverage (or at least limit sensationalizing the events) so as to render the medium through which they terrorize nearly ineffective. ISIS wants you to panic and not let in Syrian refugees so that they can kill them all. They want you to be afraid, because that's how they gain their power.

But ISIS, or as I would prefer to call them, Daesh... they're weak, honey. Most of their power comes from fear. Remove the fear, and the battle is already half-won. They'll stop getting new recruits, their efforts will become ultimately pointless, and as such they will die out.

And I cannot adequately express how frustrating it is watching people falling over themselves with barely contained glee in their eagerness to allow themselves to be scared.

People are sheep. And sheep are one of the dumbest animals on the planet.
So yeah. I'm not shocked. But the media certainly isn't helping.

Any others?

Sure. We won't allow people to enter or leave the United States. Miley Cyrus will be held accountable for her crimes against humanity. Construct walls around San Francisco, Austin and Hawaii. Close down BBC America. No more internet that is not strictly approved by the Committee to Make Sure That Only Good Things are Written About the President (or CMSTOGTWAP). Internment camps for theater actors. Only Bruce Willis movies. Annex Canada.

I could go on all day.

Yikes! Sounds pretty scary to me, especially the only Bruce Willis movies part.
