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.
When will you be content?

In some cases,yes. In some cases,no. In life in general,yes,it is a good thing to be contented.
In some cases, yes,it could be a bad thing. For example, before I married my first wife,when I bought my first house,after the house warming party,my girfriend,who later became my first wife,asked me,"S....,are you contented?" With a big smile on my face,I answered,"YES!"
After we got married,my first wife said that I was too contented,because I refused to"keep up with the Joneses". I even played that record by "The Temptations" for her to hear,about trying to keep up with the Joneses
.A husband can be contented to have a wife. But,he can also lose his motivation by being less affectionate,less attenetive,listen less,and become lazy,while he stops courting her.Since he already has her,why should he try so hard to win her,as when he was dating her?
To put it simply,after a hunter has caught his prey,he puts away his hunting tools.That is the best analogy that I can come up with as of this moment. Another example,now that the San Francisco Giants finally won a World Series after 50 years,I am now a contented Giants' fan. I am sure that Chicago Cubs fans are not contented,when it comes to baseball.
