  • 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.

    You might want them to be, but not all governments grant their people those rights. Then is it a coincidence that you happen to agree with the US government's definitions? The government does get to define what it means because it is the only enforcer. On the contrary, it is a very...

    Yes it rings bells, but it's still arbitrary. What if the government defined it as something else? What if the government said that "treading on" someone doesn't include treading on their property if they aren't putting that property to use or aren't occupying that property?

    In some ways, yes (the civil and social sense). If this is only for people who are libertarian across the board, I will happily leave.

    But how do you determine what rights we have? Isn't it arbitrary?

    Hi and welcome! And in response, that seems pretty vague to me, what constitutes treading on someone else?
