  • 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.

Hey, it's kind of like a certain Seinfeld-loving Padre I know who criticizes Episode III. If I asked this guy to write a screenplay and direct a new Episode III, there's no way he could do as well as Lucas, but he still has the right to criticize it! (even though Episode III was outstanding!)

then what're ya complaining about? (said like Sean Connery to Harrison Ford)

Sounds intriguing! So what is the difference, Laura?
Pecans (no walnuts), all honey, lots of spice like cloves, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon...a lot is similar, but apparently it isn’t traditional enough for the Greek lady in our church :) She says that “this isn’t the way Baklava should be made!” It tastes delicious though! I love spiced pies...so I guess it makes sense that I like Baklava to be spiced as well :)

As if baklava is some sacrosanct recipe used as a holy mystery and it cannot be altered

yeah, no. I could sneeze a better script than episode III. plus I don't get paid to make movies. when you make as much as he does, folks deserve a good product.

plus the issue is old jokes, not bad ones.

Orthodoxy doesn't have a shortage of "mind-speakers" around. That's for sure! LOL

She is a sweet lady, but does speak her mind openly :)

don't be too proud of this cinematic terror you've constructed. the ability to destroy 2 hours of a man's life is insignificant next to the power of good taste.

If you pay a plumber to come and fix a leaky faucet and two hours later there is raw sewage shooting out of your chimney and windows, you don't have to be a plumber to complain.
