  • 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.

What's on your mind?

Japan is even worse. If you're a girl on a train, you can expect to get groped and there won't be one darn thing you can do. My stepfather once defended a Japanese school girl from getting groped while he was working in Japan. Others on the train looked away and some gave him an approving bow. The next time he was on the train, there were many girls deciding to stay in the same train room as he was because that groper wouldn't go near him.

He said it was pathetic.

They need feminism.

Sometimes I wish things turned out differently. I wonder if I've done right...I regret some things I've done, but if it hadn't come to pass, I wouldn't be the person I am today.

It's a very scary mental loop I'm stuck in...I think "oh, I did it for my own sake and now I'm content", but then comes the "maybe I shouldn't have done that...now I feel horrible because I might've done the wrong thing"....

Join the club. There are many things I regret and still cringe every time I think about them.

Yeah, that's awful - I already knew Japan was like that. Good on your Grandfather though... any decent human would defend them.

He had quite a few interesting things to say about Japan. I think the real kicker that would give every teenage weeaboo a stroke was...

"Japan is nothing like the anime."

I think I'd be a tall man in Japan.

For once I could be the bully.

You'd be average height since the average is 5'7 over there.

If it makes you feel better, you are taller than most humans who have ever lived throughout history.

Yeah but like I'm probably broader framed or something.

Same here. Life for me was pure trial and error and I messed up countless times to the point where I feel ashamed to even be myself.

Don't get to that point. A true fool doesn't learn from his mistakes and you still have much life left.

Helloooo. How is everyone tonight? :)

Day 4 is almost ending! No soreness from exercising today. Woot, go me! I even talked myself into morning exercises when I didn't want to. My will power is changing. :)

I actually knew a Chinese American living in China who told me to move to China, cause all the women are crazy for white guys there, and that I'd basically have to beat them away with a stick. And that we all look like Brad Pitt and they cannot tell the difference. Lol.

I actually got kissed on the cheek by a Mexican girl during a mission trip. It caught me off guard and apparently she was staring at me the whole time.

According to my Colombian friend, I'm the exotic one over there so I can attract women more easily than in Canada.

Gj! It gets easier and actually becomes fun once you're in the swing of things... addicting to workout.

And I'm good thanks :)
