  • 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.

Stranger Than Normal

Pivots and divots, and divots and pivots*.... What's a divot, anyway?
*goes to check the dictionary*
Okay, then. According to the Encarta dictionary, a divot is "a small lump of grass and earth accidentally dug out of the ground while playing a sport, especially golf." [Early 16th century. Origin unknown.] (For my fellow etymology-freaks out there, hehe.)

Wow, that's the second new thing I've learned today. The first was how to make a heart appear on screen:
Err...or maybe I didn't, 'cuz when I tried that trick, all it came up with was this, ♣ which, granted, is cool--as an avid fan of Ireland I adore anything Celt-related, at least décor-wise, including shamrocks--but still. Weirdness. *shakes head* I don't understand computers, let me just say.

Ooh! I figured it out again! (Num Lock, alt-and-hold, number-and-hold, alt-release, and voila.) Look at all the pretty symbols: ☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○

*snickers*

Now that I'm done freaking even myself out with my weirdness, I think I'll stop now.


*The whole thing with the pivots and divots relates to the Psych episode (in season 2, I think) where they look into the nanny agency. Funny, funny episode. ^_^
Love that show.
