  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    OT: Uh oh, new bigfoot tape will probably surface soon

    Compost advice needed....

    Techically, you *can* compost any type of meat. (There's a company in - Sweden(?) that will compost a dead relative for you.) The problem is in the aesthetics. Compost is basically rotting stuff. Rotting vegetable matter doesn't smell too bad. Rotting meat smells BAD. Rotting fish equally...

    De-clawing Cats

    Where did you get this information? I've volunteered at two "kill" shelters, and neither has put down a cat just because it has claws. Health, behaviour and temperment are what goes into making that decision - not whether the animal has claws. Then why don't you declaw dogs, too? Dogs...

    Dragons?!?!

    There's always this theory: *inserts tongue into cheek* -Satan is an angel (albeit a fallen one). Satan is sometimes referred to as the Great Dragon. -Some dragons have wings. Some angels have wings. -Angels appear to be Heaven's administrative staff. In Chinese mythology, dragons run...

    Cell Phone Companies

    We use MTS, which I think is one of the Bell subsidiaries. We don't use our cellphone a lot - mostly on the weekends - but we've been very happy with the service we've gotten from MTS.

    PETA is at it again, this time with J. Lo

    I can't locate a story about those comic books in particular (although I'm still looking), but PETA has a history of targeting their campaigns at kids. There are several stories about PETA going to schools to hand out "trading cards" to kids. PETA activists to visit Lincoln Middle School...

    PETA is at it again, this time with J. Lo

    I am all for treating animals humanely, but PETA takes it to radical extremes. (For instance, they advocate banning pets.) Therefore, I support PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals.

    Did You know Pure bred Golden Retrievers are not PURE?

    Well, *technically* they all started off as wolves. ;) No breed of dog sprang up "fully formed," as it were.

    Rats

    Rats live 2 or 3 years. Sometimes you'll get lucky and have a rat that lives 5 or so. I used to have pet rats. It always broke my heart when they died, after having known them for such a short time. :sigh:

    Not Having Children

    I can't speak directly about the attitudes of the Church towards couples who have decided not to have children, but I can relate my personal experiences about society in general. My husband and I decided before getting married that we were not interested in having children. Age, distance of...

    Because there's no more room in the garden! ;)

    declawing cat opinions

    I would call it a vasectomy or tubal ligation. If you honestly think that removing a cat's toe up to the first joint is more humane than just training them not to scratch the furniture, then you're entitled to your opinion. Of course. :(

    Am I Lying ?

    Well, now it's just semantics. "To me, my journey took 24 hours." "But to me, your journey took more than 24 hours." They are both correct, hence the time paradox.

    Fruits Basket?

    I recently picked up book 1 of the manga. Haven't seen the anime yet. :)
