  • 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?

But I have to be honest with you all. While @sunshineforJesus 's message above has pacified me somewhat, I am severely annoyed with the lady sitting near me at the Jamaican bar I often visit after work on the last day of the week. Few things are more unattractive than when a woman makes this ridiculous uncharacteristic amount of noise when she eats and continually cleans her teeth. I'm sorry. It just disgusts me. There is seriously no reason to be anywhere near this loud when eating.

I know it is only right to be a calm and peaceable as a Christ-believer, but somehow the open-mouthed sounds of eating and chewing gum has always been a thorn in my ears and makes me inwardly rage.

I've seen Rogue One twice now. When I heard it would be like the Saving Private Ryan of Star Wars I got really excited. Finally a Star Wars movie I would like. (Possible spoilers) only the last third of the movie is like the movie I was hoping for. The most interesting characters are the droid K2SO and the blind man (I can't remember his name(not a good thing)) but he gets very little screen time. The movie keeps jumping from rebels to the empire, when it should have just been from the rebel's perspective. If the movie spent more time with the rebel characters maybe what happens to them in the third act would have had more impact.
Although I've liked it more on the second viewing it could have been a lot better. A complete re-edit of the first two acts I think would improve the movie.

Anyway, Guardians Of The Galaxy is way better. I think I just triggered a bunch of hardcore Star Wars fans.

I would just stare a hole right through her and hope that she got the message. If not, I'd have no qualms about throwing a blunt object at her head.

That said, in Japan, it's actually acceptable. Whenever I ate at a ramen bar, another diner would come in and sit down at the closest chair next to me and start slurping away at noodles, whilst intermittently belching and pebble dashing me in broth. Even if the bar was empty, they'd huddle up real close.

I just took it as a sign of acceptance.

So, our rector told this story today, and I thought I would share it with y'all...

There was a pastor and his wife on their way to Easter services, and the pastor was in the passenger seat going over his sermon notes when he looks at his watch and notices that they are running he late.
He says to his wife, "Honey, we can't be late for Easter service again, we need to hurry it up."
So, the wife puts on the gas and begins to drive faster. Then, they make a turn and see a large, strange looking rabbit standing the road holding an Easter basket. The rabbit stares at them like a deer in the headlights, but because of where he was standing, they could not swerve out of the way and hit the rabbit. The rabbit goes flying and lands in the ditch on the side of the road, out cold. The pastor and his wife get out of their car and run over the rabbit.
The wife says "This cannot be happening?"
The pastor says "Is that what I think it is?".
The wife then says "I have an idea" and runs back to her car, digs through her purse and pulls out a spray can. She then proceeds to spray the rabbit. Within a moment, the rabbit perks up, puts its eggs back in the basket and hops off. Now, after about fifteen feet or so, the rabbit turns around, waves, and then continues on his way. The rabbit continually does this until it is out of site.
"What the heck is in that can?" The pastor asked.
"See for yourself," The wife replies, handing them to the can.
He then reads the label...
"Hair spray, " He reads the description "Brings hair back to life." Continues to read "Creates continuous waves."

That seems odd considering all of the formalities in speech and gesture that the Japanese seem to have. But, wow, in that case, I could never eat out if I lived in the Land of the Rising Sun. There would be a murder in one of the ramen bars sometime soon after my move.
