• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

There's a good debate to be had over colleges pushing agendas and not being open to the other side being presented. Now, that doesn't cover all issues because I wouldn't give flat-Earthers the time of day in a college classroom, but on social issues there are reasons to present what the other side believes. Both in right wing and left wing settings.
The problem then becomes separating alternative-fact based right-wing agendas from actual-here-in-reality-fact based agendas. And from what I've seen, attempts to separate the two devolve into calling people elites for actually knowing facts about the subject being discussed.
