• 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.

For some reason they get special treatment.
Maybe they buy wine from Napa/Sonoma valley? Of course their guests are just aghast thinking; " Who in their right mind buys USA wine for special occasions?":)

I didn't realize that Americans didn't have freedom before.

In terms of
Global freedom they are 55th
Human freedom they are 42nd
Media freedom they are 43rd


Not a very free country.

Of course the same app could be used to support USA trade. ;)
I think that everyone should be free to make their own economic decisions and that something that increases knowledge to base those decisions on his, in principle, a good thing.

For example, I switched my soda provider from coca cola to a local brand called vita cola.

The safety of America, that's a good one. High gun deaths, unaffordable health care, racism, bigotry, low life expectancy...

I feel perfectly safe going to the grocery store as long as I take precautions.

Who needs the app? American exports will be more expensive overseas anyway due to reciprocal tarriffs.

Sorry American exporters!
Not all countries are putting reciprocal tarrifs onto USA imports, because they don't want to tax their own people and create inflation, that would be stupid.

But, of course the citizens of those countries can simply choose not to buy USA goods.

With the exception of ammunition and food, I have a hard time finding anything still 100% made in America.

Keep in mind
I certainly won't be buying any USA based wines. Especially while USA attempts to extort the world (except for Russia). Cheap, nasty sewerage water!
Consider keeping in mind that most of our country is not on the side of this administration.

I know, but we need to treat USA as a whole, the way USA is officially treating us. We need to fight back!

One of the best parts about Aulstralian tap water is you get to taste what people ate for lunch yesterday.

It's unfortunate, but we can't pick the politics of the owners of every brand. Maybe whoever runs Jack Daniels hates what Trump is doing to the country. But when I went to the drinks cabinet last night, it was Canadian Club I reached for (plus some chilled ginger beer and a slice of lime).
