  • 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.

why doesnt one guy run the world?

Why don't we just elect one person who is good and wise to run everything. And we accommodate for everyone

Like make religious tolerance universal, so everyone believes what they want without persecution

And with a global economy id imagine better job opportunities

And people should just live life and enjoy rather fight about gods. And make it simple, anyone who breaks these rules can be martyred on the spot.

Tbh I like freedom of speech, but with internet and etc these days people just rile each other up and then just look for a reason to start fights.

Imagine being on facebook looking forward to a day at the beach with friends
Then u see someone share about how xxxx did xxxx and is ruining the country

And at the beach instead of enjoying, the topic becomes politics...this happend to me every week this summer and I'm sick of these conversations
I'm 23 and want to talk bout girls! Not who should be president of naboo

I doubt it would be easy to elect a person that is wise and good enough for the job, and even if it would be possible, who says that the moral beliefs of that person will be anything like ours?

And we accommodate for everyone
Some people would call this communism, whether it's communism or not.

Like make religious tolerance universal, so everyone believes what they want without persecution
The question is, should we tolerate religious communities even if they themselves are intolerant? What if their religion requires them to commit crimes?

Religious tolerance is a much more complex issue than that.

And with a global economy id imagine better job opportunities
I don't see why.

And people should just live life and enjoy rather fight about gods.
Obviously won't work. As I can see it, some religious people don't even want to enjoy life, what with all those ascetics? This, and I doubt the religions will just stop fighting each other just because someone says they should. If I was religious, I would fight, too.

And make it simple, anyone who breaks these rules can be martyred on the spot.
Even if it's a kid?

Tbh I like freedom of speech, but with internet and etc these days people just rile each other up and then just look for a reason to start fights.
So we should just remove the internet, because freedom of speech makes people fight each other? If they can't talk on the internet, they will talk in real life.

Imagine being on facebook looking forward to a day at the beach with friends

I'm actually happy whenever I see a serious comment on Facebook. Sick of all those people sharing with me how much they love their girlfriends. Who cares?! For this purpose, PM's were made.

Too bad people are interested in what is going on around the world.

I guess this was worst forum to post this, apparently none of u have lives so u debate online all day to feel better.

Btw stop trying to sound smart, your proper typing and punctuation isn't fooling anybody

I don't think it's a case of trying to sound smart, Dreamer.

Calm down now. If you didn't want to be disagreed with, it's not a good idea to have posted this in any forum.

I don't think a twenty-three year old who moans on the internet about how he gets no girl is in any position to diss me. Grow up, buddy.

I am not trying. I am succeeding.

You're not in any position to tell me I'm not smart, either. I told you why your idea is bad in great detail, and your only retort is that I have no life.

What makes you think that one guy doesn't already run the world? I know many people that will tell you who that guy is, though not all of them agree about his identity. When I was younger Rockefeller was the most popular choice. Now it might be George Soros. Personally, I think it isn't a guy at all but a woman who is just too clever to let us know she's doing it.

Hi, Dreamer. :wave:

Some believe that one guy already does ... though people argue about who that guy, or God is ... in fact, some don't even believe there is a god.

Quite a few have been eager to rule the world ... Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Napolean, Genghis Khan, etc. The wannabe list is long.

The current contenders seem to be George Soros and Muhammed. :eek:

Don't know about you, but neither of those guys appeals to me all that much.

Right, you don't hide online. You just use a nickname and an avatar, but you're not hiding. Not at all. It's impossible for me to find out where you live, but you're not hiding. Great logic, man!

I am what people see.
A final fantasy character?

Maybe if you found Jesus you would not have to keep hiding.
Whatever.

Stop running man! Stop running!! :(
I'm not running. In fact, I'm not even hiding. I'm using an online persona, just like everyone else here, including you.

If you ever need to talk my PM box is open :hug:
I don't care! :)

Look boy, you just insulted me for using proper grammar and for giving you a constructive criticism of your idea. Now you pretend to be my best buddy? Do you think I'm dumb enough to buy that? You're 23 years old, yet you can't stand criticism and moan about how your buddies are talking about relevant issues while you have trouble getting a girlfriend.

Do you think I'm interested in your advice?

Well I think the end goal is to have a world government, but it would have to be democratic and not run by just one person. The main problem isn't that we can't all agree on who is good and wise (though that is a problem, especially at present), but that power corrupts. It is a psychological fact that power changes peoples personalities and can make them crazy with power over time.

Like make religious tolerance universal, so everyone believes what they want without persecution

Religious tolerance, and liberty in general, would have to be one principle of the world constitution. Well it is already in Human Rights anyway.

And people should just live life and enjoy rather fight about gods. And make it simple, anyone who breaks these rules can be martyred on the spot.

I agree that it is pointless to war over gods.

What's wrong with Naboo dude ;)

As fun as it is to talk about guys, personally I enjoy talking about politics, religion, ethics, philosophy, etc. It does get irritating in certain types of arguments, but in real life I never really have ones like that too often.

I guess this was worst forum to post this, apparently none of u have lives so u debate online all day to feel better.

I don't actually have a life right now.... rather sad :(

Looking forward to going back to Uni! :D

Are you talking anti-Christ here?

God supremely rules the world, even if many will not accept it.

Livinglight is right, the one person you are describing is the Anti-Christ or someone who wants to be him. That much power will only enslave everyone and death happens every time someone tries it. For example, Mao, Stalin, Lennon, Hitler, Somalia, Zimbabwe, Serbia, and so on.

If you are willing to give your right so easily, you will wake up one morning and be their slave. Do not to that to yourself. Exercise your rights and some creativity, you will be amazed what you can do that government can't.

Wow! I guess you are the first person ever to find the world annoying!
Why don't we just elect one person who is good and wise to run everything.
First of all: We could never agree who that was, even if there were such a person. (There is me, of course, but I don't want the job.)
Second: That person might be good and wise when elected, but after a while would be inevitably corrupted by power.
And we accommodate for everyone.
We don't accommodate for everyone now, and if our leader were wise, he would know that he couldn't.
Like make religious tolerance universal, so everyone believes what they want without persecution
People who believe what they want nearly always believe that they have the right to persecute those who disagree.

And with a global economy id imagine better job opportunities
Perhaps, perhaps not! That is for the economics or political forums.

And people should just live life and enjoy rather fight about gods.
Well, it is far easier to fight about gods than it is to fight about real things. You don't need facts when arguing theology, just imagination.
And make it simple, anyone who breaks these rules can be martyred on the spot.
That is one way to "accomodate for everyone", I suppose?
Tbh I like freedom of speech, but with internet and etc these days people just rile each other up and then just look for a reason to start fights.
So, don't get riled: Examine, then accept or rebut.

I am a little older than your are. (3X!) Let me be so bold as to observe that talking about girls is more futile and less satisfactory, than talking to them. (But not by much!)

I guess this was worst forum to post this, ...
I don't think it is the forum that is at fault.
... apparently none of u have lives ...
I, for one, have had a good deal more of a life than you have.
... so u debate online all day to feel better.
And , why are you here?
Btw stop trying to sound smart, your proper typing and punctuation isn't fooling anybody
Smart people often make other people uncomfortable by sounding smart. Sometimes they do have to pretend stupidity so the other chimps don't lynch them, but here, online, protected by pseudonyms, they don't have to be quite so careful. Part of being smart is presenting your ideas clearly and grammatically, so that they are easily understood.
You might try dreaming less, and thinking more.

Touche!
Zephaniah 2:3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.

4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.

5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.

6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.

7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.

8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.

9 Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.

10 This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts. 11 The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.

12 Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.

13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness.

14 And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work.

15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
