  • 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 do you think of Simple Living?

    I think that simplifying things is different for everyone. For me, it means not making gaining objects rule my life. I saw my parents crash and burn with that mistake. I also seem to see that some people that work a lot to have their items. I don't want to be ruled like that. For me, it means...

    Pretending, Things men and women do.

    I think a lot of us have partners that have some sort of hobby we just can't enjoy. We just can't get into it like they can. However, who doesn't like to see their partner passionately enjoying whatever their hobby is? I don't think we expect our partners to love all our hobbies, but it...

    Have that baby no matter what

    People are thoughtless, greedy, war mongering fools. If the world population was only at a 10th of what it was now, you would still have drugs, crime, poverty, etc. Someone will want to be on the top and they won't care who is crushed on their way to making a name for themselves. Someone is...

    Does a man has any right to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body?

    It implies that one knows they could get pregnant. They have deemed this an acceptable risk. One does not always consciously have to be thinking that sex causes pregnancies to know this happens. People caught up in the moment didn't stop knowing this, they just stopped caring because...

    Does a man has any right to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body?

    And THIS is why there needs to be better sex education. It is possible to stop before intercourse is finished to get protection. It is possible to stop and wait until the next day (or longer even) to get that protection. Unless there is some medical condition I don't know about, then it...

    Does a man has any right to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body?

    Where I am from it is the woman's decision whether or not to have an abortion. That's not really an issue. However, the laws regarding abortion are voted on by both and there seems to be constant legislation regarding this issue. I honestly do not see a problem with men voting on legislation...

    5 Questions about Life

    Religion: None Age: 25 1. What is the nature of ultimate reality? (What is the "most real" thing in this world---i.e. is there a God? gods? higher power?) Functionally speaking, I believe in consensus reality. Reality is what we agree that it is. However, real reality exists irrespective to...

    Pre Nup

    This would require a major personality change. I can sure think of ways to extract vengeance, but I honestly can't carry them out. No matter how much someone ticks me off I just can't be that cruel. For example, if I had wanted I could have taken everything from the last guy I was with except...

    Pre Nup

    Hah! I'm not going to sign any prenuptial aggreements. If some guy goes into a marriage wanting to protect what is his, then he and I have very different ideas of marriage from the start. He probably also thinks very little of me and I'd laugh in his face and it would most likely prompt me to...

    Guns: Immoral or Only as Immoral as the Owner?

    Guns are inannimate objects and can't really be either moral or immoral. It is the people behind the guns that are either moral or immoral. I personally wouldn't support a ban on guns. I may never choose to carry one, but I'll sure not be trying to stop someone else from doing so. If guns...

    Is this adultery? Or just a little unethical or not at all?

    I wouldn't consider it adultery. I mean, she didn't actually have intercourse with anyone. However, she is deceitful and I wouldn't blame the guy if he wants a divorce. I think everyone should think about these things before having children. I mean, there are some things I really wish people...

    Is this abusive therapy?

    I think it is a scary book if this is how they view such disorders. I would never suggest it to anyone for reading. I don't think they are particularly helpful or therapeutic. Ethical? No. Definitely not. Do I think it should be illegal? Part of me wants to say yes because of knowing the...

    If there are children thier needs trump his desire for sex.

    I don't really see how this is an issue of who's needs trump someone else's needs. Sex is an important part of a relationship. If it isn't working out between the two of them then it is going to affect other areas of their life. It could even be another area of their life that is having an...

    Anyone played Vanguard?

    I like the graphics in WoW better. They're all nice and bubbly. It's very shiny-like. Vanguard's nighttime scene is really dark. Sure, that sets the feeling better, but I really don't like how dark it is. The interface in Vanguard didn't seem to be any more or less challenging than that of...
