• 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.

You must have misread Sharon's post. Her grandchildren clearly got it wrong. In fact, you asserting that they got it right is very compelling evidence that they clearly got it wrong.
:D:D:D

Just for the record, I'm a bit like Rush Limbaugh in that the only time I've been wrong are the times I said I was wrong, because it turned out I was actually right :wave:

You're right. The problem is, if Foxworthy was the author as I believe him to be then leaving his name off is shortchanging him for wonderful, funny and true comments.

Which wonderful, funny and true comments? I must have missed them.

They always complain about Fox viewers - but somehow the figures just don't add up - Fox has more viewers than the other 3 combined - someone is doing something right.

Popularity and accuracy are not the same thing.

Funny how people think that if they can convince me that Foxworthy didn't write it, I would disregard this article as trash. It just further proves the point of the thread.
Democrats don't like it so they try to silence it by saying, "It isn't from a credible source."
Well duh! It doesn't matter who wrote it.

Nobody said it wasn't a credible source. People said Foxworthy did not write the jokes. Do you understand there is a difference?

The subject of (so-called)jokes?

The OP claimed that Foxworthy wrote the jokes and it was shown that it was not true. That was the only part of the OP which made sense because the rest (the 'jokes') were so stupid they cannot be considered jokes.

No no no. The the subject was not about Foxworthy and don't try to tell me it was. The thread points out how Democrats think. People just picked up on Foxworthy and ran with it because that was all the ammo they were given.

The fact that this thread was turned on it's head just proves how right the thread is. :wave:

The only problem is democrats do not think like the examples in the OP. On top of that the OP mistakenly attributed the words to the wrong person.

There is all kinds of fail in the OP.

I'm the one who proved that it wasn't from Foxworthy, and I'm the one who said that the source--being unknown--isn't credible.

Now, what does my political icon say?

If a Republican doesn't like a political documentary film, he either doesn't go see it, or he does see it and offers a refutation.

If a Democrat doesn't like a political documentary film, he tries to deny the film maker the profits from the film.

Speaking of documentaries - no matter if you are Dem or Rep there is a 2 part documentary on Dish Network, Channel 212 at 8 E on Sept. 26 & 27 (this Wednesday and Thursday - showing how the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated both parties, the government and what their plans are to defeat the West. They are purging our libraries, our school books, changing our history. This is showing documents outlining their plans. It is not political, but informative.

Oh snap! is just one of those fad things that kids say nowadays. I got so tired of hearing it that I banned it from the house by intentionally mishearing them whenever they said it.

It's been around longer than I have, I think.

A quick Google search shows Dish Network channel 212 to be Glenn Beck TV.

If a Republican yelled....look out Redac, you're about to fall off that cliff....would it be political?

If Redac were no where near a cliff and the danger existed only in the mind of the person yelling, it certainly would not have to be taken seriously.
