  • 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.

    How do you view materialistic people?

    There is nothing wrong with being materialistic. If you find someone who is materialistic but does not care about people, then you have found someone doing the wrong thing and deserving of a hard punishment

    looking for christians on playchess.com

    Hi, I know this forum isn't very active so I was wondering whether any of you play on playchess.com. If you're a beginning or avid chess player it's one of the best online chess servers out there with an easy to use interface. I'm trying to find those who play there on a regular basis so I...

    Sex (& Violence) in games

    Yes, there is something wrong with sex and violence in games. You can easily become desensitized to it, and I believe it will become worse. I don't think thats my main concern. My concern is that it does somehow seem to affect our subconscious and the way we think in certain situations. I played...

    Palpitations

    Palpitations are normal, and everyone has them from time to time. Nevertheless, see your doctor and have a physical examination to make sure everything is OK. Regards, AB

    Looks like fewer and fewer are interested...

    Well, if you looked closer at the section you quoted, you would have noticed it said 'started' ;). I certainly do not expect to move up a 'class' so quickly, but I do expect to improve somewhat. I prefer playchess.com as a new player because the interface is great and easy to use. And it DOES...

    Joan of Arcadia

    I think the show started well. However, it took a downward spiral from there. I stopped watching it after all the silliness started with the 'psychic' woman. It's another fizzer, and the show stinks of Hollywood. Certainly not as bad as the 'Ken and Barbie' (The OC) show, though.

    The OC?

    The OC is trash, just pure Hollywood teenage trash. How can you watch these sorts of shows and like it? It is beyond me. I apologise if this message causes undue offence, which it probably will. The portrayal of society in this sort of show sickens me. In case you haven't noticed, it's another...

    Hi GrinningDwarf, I've recently started on the long road of chess improvement (3 months). So I can't comment on what will make you improve fastest. However, the most consistent advice I've heard is to drill tactics until your eyes bleed and you can spot them faster. A great site you can play on...
