  • 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.

    Do we have an infinite number of jobs available for all the people that y'all want to come here? If we do why do we have unemployment now?

    Some will be on government assistance as @iluvatar5150 and I were discussing. He thinks more people on government assistance creates jobs and that we need them to come here and have lots of children

    If I don't get disability I will draw Social Security but will still have to work part time. But my SS is money that I paid in. And what little I have left in my IRA is money that I paid in. Neither of those is money that the government is giving me. It's my money that I paid in. The insurance I...

    What about taking care of me? I contributed. I paid taxes. My plan was to keep working until I turned 70, now I can’t do that. Where is my government assistance?

    My living? By your own admission people who have never contributed anything to the system can get government assistance. Where is mine? I started working when I was 16, I worked for 45 years. I have PTSD, I was encouraged to apply for disability 18 years ago, but I chose to keep working. I...

    Paid for by the government with the endless supply of money, even though there are more people dependent on government assistance. But I guess that’s the goal, create more people that are dependent on the government who will vote for the party that gives them the handouts. My wife is a 4th grade...

    Public assistance does not have an infinite supply. You say we need young workers to replace the aging population, more people on government assistance does not help with this issue, and immigrants tend to send much of the money they do earn back to where they came from
