• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

One, if you never ever leave your house, then why get tested? If you leave your house occasionally, you will need to be tested beforehand to ensure you’re not infected.

Two, I already spelled out the steps I take.

This can not tell if your sick angle was the key in all this government control.

These tests make me laugh. Even if you get tested before you leave your house in the morning, what's to say you didn't get infected 10 minutes after you walk out the door? Then you spend all day spreading the virus around, thinking you're good because your daily morning test said you were negative. I guess it just makes people feel better that they're "doing something". However, they don't really seem to care or stop to think if that "something" is actually beneficial in any way.
I know. Those types of arguments come across as virtue signaling.

The incubation period, that's what.

Useless character attack. You cant know unless you meet the person whether they are for real or just showing off.

That doesn’t mean that those arguments don’t sound like virtue signaling.

For all practical purposes, they are nonexistent, because they have no effect.
I thought having a good immune system and healthy hygiene habits were good things. I guess I can stop with all of that now. So, vaccines are 100% effective? Is that the way I should go?

Who doesn't love hobbits?
I used to think they were effective until you said otherwise. Second breakfastes have been my favorite part.
