  • 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.

    OU Student given a zero for citing the bible in essay

    Im almost afraid to read it. My faith in undergrad writing has already been shaken by certain experiences. (I wonder if this deficiency has infected the advanced degree population by now?)

    If the facts dont support outrage, whats wrong with imagining an alternate story that does? Truth is often too weak and slow for the task at hand.

    So, Is the Body Positivity Movement Still a Thing?

    Maybe just dont chew fried refined flours and sugar every meal.... or run with those who do.

    Trump dispenses with trials, orders military strike on alleged Venezuelan drug-trafficking boat (Now up to 2, 3, 4...)

    Not so with OBL. The brief was to capture him or kill him if he put up armed resistance. As for me, I do not support organized crime. But if we are pushed into extra-judicial execution of criminal suspects, when they are putting up no violent resistance, then they have succeeded in degrading...

    Trump to pardon Ex-Honduras President Guilty of Drug Trafficking and conspiring to import cocaine into the United States

    This guy must have made some huge Trump meme coin purchases or something, timed to be attributable to him.

    Donald Trump Says US To Launch Land Action in Venezuela ‘Very Soon’

    I also think there's some personal pride issues for the President in saying he "won" a war. And he's got all this power at his fingertips. Would be a shame not to show his "strength" and flex it before his term is up.

    Makes sense. I feel sorry for people who deny themselves like that. Those fun things like dancing, music, drinking are even sanctioned in the Bible. They seem to be venturing off on their own sad path here.

    Most adults wont pick the berders if they have experience with those food traditions. So I still dont buy the entertainment value of crappy food as the root cause here. Its what you were brought up with - or cultivated as adult that matters. The entertainment value follows from that.

    So, Is the Body Positivity Movement Still a Thing?

    This cannot be. Theres too many equally unhealthy and addictive alternatives available to Jews. So if food access is not the problem (and I didnt say it was) then habits and cultural conditioning are left as the most likely reasons for your map distribution of obesity (which I did say). And...

    Totally. Its an axiom of capitalism here that corporations should engineer and promote the most addictive sort of foods possible. For the shareholder, who is the most important consideration always!

    So, Is the Body Positivity Movement Still a Thing?

    For sure most of the problem isnt genetic. Tho some of it certainly is. But to look at your map its probably not pure personal willpower either. Its most likely cultural habits and conditioning. And if you come up through all that it takes way more personal willpower to overcome than your...

    Charlie Kirk Didn’t Shy Away From Who He Was. We Shouldn’t, Either

    Candace Owens is where the whole right wing reality disconnection industry leads. Not shocked when they turn on each other for some advantage.

    State leaders speak out about plans to expand the Islamic Academy of Alabama

    We have an actual US Senator interviewing on Infowars??? No wonder this country is in such a muddle. People with real power having no sense of whats real. I guess thats what we get when enough of the voters are similarly afflicted. (Im "holding space" for the possibility this didnt even...
