  • 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.

What are you watching right now?

I saw the strangest program over the weekend on Netflix called AP Bio. It’s an abbreviation for Advanced Placement Biology. The story centers around a philosophy professor who was fired from Harvard with an obsession for a colleague who works for Stanford. He believes the position should be his. He returned to his hometown in Toledo and secures a job as the AP Biology instructor.

But instead of teaching the students and preparing them for the exam like a normal teacher would. He declares he won’t touch the subject and spends the year devising schemes against the Stanford professor and ropes the students in to help. These run the gamut from deception, harassment, entrapment and more.

The craziest part of all is that they never told. Not their parents, teachers, or principal. No one knew he wasn’t teaching and they kept the secret. He promised them all an A and that was enough. I was too dumfounded to watch anymore.

Wasn't that part of a larger series? I don't think it was just a single episode.

Yes it is. I saw the first season and Netflix has two and it was cancelled. Another network picked it up for two more.

Sounds hilarious. I like comedies set in the academic world. I will check it out later.

Right now, I am watching a short youtube video called "The deserved downfall of James Corden"-I've never heard much about him, probably because I don't follow comedians nor late night tv, but I did remember watching some interviews he did and I thought he was nice, but apparently he's regarded as someone similar to ellen degeneres, nice on screen but not a good person outside cameras.

And the show I am currently watching, 1 episode a day, is Gilmore Girls. I'm on season 3 and loving it. I wish I could live in a place like stars hollow.

He’s over the top but manageable in small bites. ;-)

He’s an odd one. I remember him looking at Bieber obsessively when he was younger and he gave me a weird vibe. I never watched him in anything and I’m not surprised he‘s not a good person. She was asking Justin about sex as a minor. I’m glad they’re gone.

I’d like to watch the series. I saw a few episodes when it was on and there’s a wholesome energy I appreciate. There’s a reading challenge that emerged from the show you may be interested in if you enjoy books.

Personal curriculums are the latest trend and I watched a video on the subject earlier. It’s the second that I’ve seen and it’s growing on me. Unlike the predecessor it emphasized the community element and many are sharing the things they’re learning with one another which appeals. I think I’m going to give it a go and choose something for the fall.
