  • 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

    Anyone here are deaf or know anyone who is deaf and mute?

    I have some questions. But first, allow me to give some background. My mom was an interpreter for the deaf at my church and in the community from the time I was 7 and I basically grew up around the deaf. I decided that I wanted to be an interpreter, so I enrolled in the only interpreter...

    Women in the Military

    This may have been covered already, I'm too tired to read through several pages of posts. My opinion, as a woman, is that woman do not belong in combat situations or where they can possibly encounter it. I have no problem with woman being in the command centers, behind desk, working out the...

    Should Spanking Be Banned? Parental Authority Under Assault.

    First I'd like to comment on: It amazes me that you know more about me than I do. I was spanked and I never knew that I was psychologically damaged. It just goes to show, you learn something new every day. My second comment is that I find these topics extremely hilarious. They are never...

    waiting to kiss

    I have never met anyone who waited to kiss. However, I always wanted to wait until my wedding day to kiss. I have always felt that the kiss on your wedding day is something special and sacred and I've never understood how people could feel it was so special when they've been kissing people...

    Seeking Photos for Pro-Life Layout

    That is a truly interesting concept. I'll get ahold of my pro-life contacts and ask them if they know of anywhere you can get some photos. If you find any, could you let me know?

    An Attack or a Test?

    I don't have a lot of knowledge on this subject, so it's something I'm also trying to learn about. The only thing I can say to help you it that I've been told a test is when God allows the devil (sort of gives him permission) to do something, and an attack is when the devil just does it.

    Carrots?

    Bean sprouts, eh? I have plenty of beans. How would I go about growing beans?

    Carrots?

    The (main) problem with growing things right now is my family is in a transition period. We're in a small house and most of our stuff is in storage and I don't have any pots or anything and I have no room. Everything I grow has to go on the kitchen table and I don't have any basil or anything...

    Please help..is this normal for a 4 yr old?

    "Two weeks ago I got a note sent home from my son's preschool saying he touched a peer's bottom and said "Hi bottom" when he did so" To me, that sounds like normal, little kid stuff. The other stuff would concern me. I've worked with kids for almost 10 years including in daycare and I've only...
