• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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 understand...trust me...I've got all of the Anglicans calling me "yank"...and I'm from TEXAS...(not a yankee...I'm a reb...)

I am not a Yank, I am american. The war ended 150 years ago.

Overseas, that's the generic slang term for everyone from the United States. Hurts, I know... ;) :D I'm proud to be a Southerner (I have ancestors who fought in th' war of nawthurn aggresshin), but I don't mind being called a Yank(ee) too much, since they're just trying to identify me as an American.

I'll have chocolate chess pecan pie with plenty of whipped cream and once again, because of the hour - thanks Greg for the option - make it a decaf.

I've finally got room in my stomach after eating Viener Schnizel, red cabbage, Bratwurst and saurkraut at the liederhosen hosted Eidelweiss restaurant with my dh, who's too tired to dance. Make his a caffeine laden double espresso.

Ok, can anyone beat me for the worst weekend, so far? My youngest son has been, uh, I'll be polite since everyone is eating pie, "getting sick" every 2 hours around the clock since Friday 11pm. Oh, the joys of motherhood

That war was 150 years ago, 50 years prior to half my family coming to the U.S. I think it is time all of you southerners who still talk about it like it happened a decade ago get over it.

BTW In Germany they do not call Americans "yank's" they call us Ami's.
