• 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.

He is literally saying that schools will organise physical gender surgery for children. That he is lying is absolutely undeniable.

This post of yours was quoted which brought me back to re-read it, and I caught this. :) On the second page here I literally used the word "literally" three times in one sentence, and when questioned about it I explained why. It obviously had no effect.

Yes, I can literally say "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse", or "I died laughing".

No, you can't. Using the word means that what you are saying actually happened. So you literally didn't die when you were laughing. Although what this has to do with the subject literally had me scratching my head in puzzlement (so you now know that I actually did scratch it).

I almost feel like a prophet. I'd recommend you read my early posts here, but you probably won't, so let me try this:

If I can't literally say "I died laughing", can I literally type those words on a keyboard so that they appear on your screen as I literally did in my preceding post?

Honestly, I'm literally not interested...
