  • 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.

Old State Saloon reports record-breaking sales since it announced it is celebrating June as ‘Heterosexual Awesomeness Month,’ with discounts for straight couples and women and free beer for heterosexual men.

EAGLE, Idaho (LifeSiteNews) — An anti-woke bar in Eagle, Idaho, is pushing back against political correctness and LGBT ideology by celebrating June as “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month.”

Mark Fitzpatrick, a former police officer who calls himself a “Bible believing Christian,” is giving out free beer and discounts for straight patrons who visit his Old State Saloon just 10 miles west of Boise.

“It’s the expectation that you’re supposed to jump behind and support something,” Fitzpatrick toldlocal media outlet KTVB when asked why he is doing it.

“And people are just rejecting it. They’re standing up and saying, ‘enough is enough,’ we don’t want all this.”

Woo, free beer. Well, I do not drink alcohol, but God bless this bar, as long as this does not contribute to alcoholism. For me, I will only marry a woman, or remain celibate and single, as that is what the Bible says.

Futurama scene: Free Beer (duration: 50 seconds, age rating 12+). I have got to watch this show.

Here's hoping every gay person in Idaho pretends to be straight in that bar.

Free Booze is Free Booze.
Haha, that might actually happen. There is no way of proving if someone is gay just by looking at them. People will do anything to get free beer. So, this is a true statement, bro, even though it sadly hacks the system. :)

I'm a professional computer scientist. Any system that is hackable is the fault of the people who made it.

Haha, that is true. :) Wait, are you a computer scientist? What type of software programs have you made, and what is your favorite programming language?

Yes! There are plenty of gay men and women who had to “act straight”’for years, including my late Spanish professor RIP

I’ve never stated I was straight, but can I ask for free vodka instead? I don’t drink much beer.

In all seriousness, I guess it’s their right? I think it’s rather silly, but to each their own.

For myself, I'd ask for free nonalcoholic margarita, sangria or pina colada. Not into alcohol. :)

But yes, it is a restaurant's right to have their own version of a straight pride month, cos the alphabet pride month is a little overkill.

Prayers for your late Spanish professor.
Thank you.

He was a former Catholic turned ELCA Lutheran, and was legally “married” to a man since 2006 via Canada.

You are welcome. Amen, at least he passed away as a Christian.
I could only pray he somehow repented.

Wonderful, wonderful person.

May God grant him eternal rest.

Nice. :) Apparently, non-alcoholic sangria exists. I should try it, but it is $25/4 pack, with each can being 8.4 oz (248 ml).

Hopefully this man repented of his sins, and may God grant him into Heaven.
