  • 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.

Me, I don't pretend to understand him. I tried reading "Orthodoxy" and had to put it down as I was simply not in his league. I qualified for MENSA membership, yet I struggled to grasp what I was reading.
If you ever want to do a slow reading with help, I'd be happy to interpret what you are reading so that you got this most amazing writer.

I’d read a page, realize I completely zoned out and lost focus, re-read, rinse, repeat. He’s not an easy read.
It took me a lot of patience and four books to "get his drift". When I did, it was like floodgates bursting open...

saw this one making its yearly Facebook rounds earlier this week.
I despised the implications of that song even before I was newly illumined

I once took delivery of an entire flat pack kitchen in our 1975 Toyota Corolla SR5
5523730003_large.jpg

It's a two door, not a hatchback, so some packs were on the back seat, some were sticking out of the boot, and the bench top and a few more packs were tied to the roof racks, which collapsed under the weight.

Good times!

So today I experienced the sadness of how cheaply made things have become. One touch with a chainsaw and my favorite pants were torn. Back in the day you could expect quality. Sigh, the end is near.
