  • 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.

Who can you turn to?

What do you guys make of this: below is a link to the story of the Central park rapists of 1989, where 5 youths were sentenced for rape after they confessed. However it is now discovered that they apparently did not commit the crime and another has confessed and through DNA, he has been confirmed to have raped the victim. For the life of me I could not figure out why the 5 would tape confessions of a rape they did not commit, and then I realized this is the same New York police force that sodomized a suspect with a broom handle. I am I wrong to think that perhaps cohersion, if not the same, a least a serious manner was used in this case as well?
