  • 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.

The "un-derailable" thread!

It's like trying to explain the futility and absurdity of gun control to a far left hippy liberal. You're better off debating a fence post.

Thank God for TAW. I don't know why I sometimes wander into GT (I think it's my notifications on old threads usually) but it seems pointless to try to explain the same things to people who make the same arguments (especially when they think they've figured them out all by themselves) and use faulty logic and dodge half your responses anyway.

I'm obviously still locked into the passion of stubbornness or something equally foolish. ;)

I like it.... a thread about nothing! Like I drove 50 miles round trip to urgent care ctr so they could take x-ray of my right arm which I hurt by a fall. OK got x-ray nothing wrong! Gave me antiinflammatory and no pain med. My arm is still painting.... and I'm trying to post this


paining so bad I thought I had a fracture... No... so I go to my doc.. he's upset because I didn't go to him first and he would send me send me for x-ray....so he gives me muscle relaxer, tells me to use heating pad 8-12 times a day. Arm still mega pain...he gives me no pain med. I even asked if I could get a shot for the pain (I've had it for about a week) he says they don't give injections there. Got an appointment in a week to see how I'm doing..... too much medical junk for one day.,.. and arm still paining.,. oh boy

About ten years ago my wife did the exact same thing! She wanted a metal shed. Those things are flimsy. Well, she thought it'd be a piece of cake and we'd just stick it to the side of our house in the "empty spot" you mention.

I come home from work on a rainy, windy day. Mind you I live in Central California where our winds are PATHETIC and it rains rarely!

My shed was a block away!!! It blew down the street and was so dented up and warped I had to junk it! I had to buy a $800 wood kit and this time that sucker was put in securely attached to a foundation.

Craziest dang thing I've ever seen---a flying shed!

And that mother was HEAVY!!!! Amazing what physics can do! ^_^
I'm more concerned that it could take somebody out, or someone's car, or embed itself in someone's living room.

There is also the potential for this shed becoming a man-cave or sorts ;). It is going to be on the side of the house where the electrical switchboard is located, so I will be digging a trench and running some 4mm cable in a conduit. It helps that I am a sparky. Some insulation under the floor and roof, lights, a beer fridge and computer. Nah, that other stuff can stay in the garage :p

I know ...

I'm starting feel there is something un-Christian-like in going on about it too ... several Scriptures come to mind, but it wouldn't be nice to post them there ...

1) I'm not arguing :wave:
2) Remember to wipe off your shoes, before returning from General Heresies! :doh:

Random thought of the day----you're even MORE Orthodox if you own an AK-47!
