  • 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

    When a friend says this to you, how do you react?!?

    Everyone I have ever known, including myself, expects something negative when hearing those words. For that reason, years ago I began changing how I would say it. Instead I will say something like, "I need to talk to you about something, and it isn't bad at all, but I just don't have time...

    Quite honestly, I think this sounds like a good idea. :thumbsup: It is almost two months after your last email, and a birthday is a good opportunity to send a message. A short, simple happy birthday e-card or e-mail is thoughtful, but not pushy. If she doesn't respond, then I'd let it...

    There is a lot of variation within women on this..... How long has it been since you haven't heard back from her? I have found that people overestimate the passage of time in internet-communications. On a very regular basis I will hear people complain about not having heard back from...

    Online dating

    Ultimately, you will do what you will do regardless of advice. I would recommend taking things slow and getting to know him more offline and in a variety of contexts. The fact that you are expressing concerns and seeking advice is an indication that you hold some reservations-- don't ignore...

    Many of the nursing or health aide worker positions...... I admire those who can do those things, but personally I could never wipe adult tushies, deal with bedpans, give sponge baths, catheters, etc. Anything having to do with people's eliminatory functions, fluids, and private areas-- I am...

    Pick up lines that were an epic fail.

    Cheesy pick up lines are cute. I can't say that I have ever used any nor been privileged enough to have someone use one on me. :P
