  • 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.

I'm a hypocrite. i KNOW this. NEVERTHELESS, I found his email on the net, and contacted him. Surprisingly he answered me back that day, and called me several times that day also. I finally returned his call. And we talked this afternoon. He's such a jokster. And playful. Hopefully I'll be...

I feel in my heart that what I want is a boyfriend. But I know that wont solve what's really bothering me. I want to be loved. But not by myself. And not by God. but it just seems that in the ways that I try to reach out to someone else, it backfires and leaves me with an even greater sense...

!@*$&@! I was doing so well beforehand. But I'm grateful I didnt gain as badly as I thought. So this whole week's gonna be damage control: I cant let my feelings control me this time. I cant let feeling depressed because of all this tension get me another time. If I gotta suffer--and I...

Last night, this guy decided to tutor me for upcoming exam. As we talked, we got sidetracked. As I was asking him questions about himself, I could immediately tell that this guy was very bright. What kept urking me, though, was that even though I kept reminding him of this, it was like he...

Sometimes--you just gotta go crazy to get what you want. Sometimes you have to take the unorthodox route to get there. Well... I'm gonna be crazy. And unorthodox. For these next 4-9 days. If all goes to plan, I should make my goal. If I make my goal, or supersede it, I will cry. Tears of...

Last week, I made some dumb decisions regarding food. For 3 days. And consequently I gained 5 lbs. But after damage control, I've lost all of that +1. :) Now I'm 2 lbs away from my next goal. And 7 lbs altogether from my current ultimate goal. Feels good. If I can focus, for say, another 5...

I'm roughly 8 lbs away from my goal weight. It's amazing--and scary. I'm so close. But surprisingly I dont look the way I imagined I would. I'm excited to start weight training, but now I'm nervous because muscle weighs more, and I dont want to somehow add the weight I just tried to get off...

I'm in college now, which means she's expecting me to stuff my face again, and gain back all I've lost. I'll show her. I'll show them all. I got a scale. I'll work out. I'll lift weights. I'll get support. I will keep my momentum going; its a commitment to myself that makes me feel good...

I'm so close. so FREAKING CLOSE! I've got to get there. And more importantly, I've got to get there before school starts. (Aug 20?) I'm about 10 pounds away now! Holy Shmoley!! :swoon: I'll continue to lose weight while I'm at school but especially for college women, there's just...

It's odd. Even though I've lost weight, I'm still shy. I'd thought I'd shake that the closer I got to my target weight. We'll see.

I talked to some financial aid people today, and there's a discrepancy between the total money via Accounting and the Financial Aid office. However, one adviser said it was because of a computer bug that should be fixed by the beginning of next week, and to call back then. I will. I'm feeling a...

I felt kinda odd at the cookouts because I didn't know anyone there, so it was like, 'Hey, you don't know me and I don't know you, but Imma come here and eat yo food,so...yeah". Both were nice. But I found out today that my mom can be a bit...calculating. Later on, she told me that if the guys...
