  • 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

    What's new in Wikileaks?

    A lot of what's been released is such trivial tittle tattle that I wonder why the authors considered it necessary to hide it from us in the first place. Quite pathetic really. I guess it gives some of them a greater sense of self-importance - knowing something they think the rest of us don't...

    Stock market?

    An update: My progress did sag - I struggled to hang onto the initial gains and it took me more than a month to then start making further progress, but things are going nicely now. At the end of this tenth week I am approximately 11% up on what i started with.

    Why are YOU single???

    I was born single. Most of us were. Being single doesn't require a reason - it comes naturally. Surely it's NOT being single that requires a reason? Procreation might be one such reason. But - technically at least - that doesn't require more than a momentary connection (nor even that these...

    Using old shoes as plant holders

    Thanks for that link, JTP. I have some images of other old shoes I nailed to a wall and filled with plants about 18 years ago at a previous address but they are prints off 35mm film. I will see if I can scan them to work online.

    Why is it so popular to slam the Bible?

    The Bible is only a book. It really doesn't deserve the sacred status that its followers fervently attach to it. And as books go, it is a real mess. A shambles. Riddled with contradictions and sometimes horrendous advice - which its obsessive followers (as might be expected) dream up...

    Using old shoes as plant holders

    I have set up an album within my profile, and posted two images. They show a pair of shoes shortly after planting - so that the fixings are still visible. I will try and find some later images showing the plants after they grew more.

    Using old shoes as plant holders

    I will try and find some photos of examples of ones I've planted up.

    Stock market?

    Or maybe twice a month! So far so good. I am doing this with a very small sum of money - and so far it hasn't gotten any smaller. My gain after 13 trading days is just under 5% (4.943%). There's every possibility of course that my luck (if that's what it is) will turn the other way over the...

    Your country needs you, says David Cameron

    The vast majority of the land in Britain is owned and controlled by a very small handful of people. Not a word from Cameron addressing this issue. But with some of these biggest landowners being suppliers of funds to his party, I guess his insistence on seeking "a fairer Britain" doesn't extend...

    Stock market?

    I've just set aside a sum for a 12-month endeavour involving over 40 stocks on the London stockmarket. I'm not going to log my trades routinely here, but I hope to report progress about once a month.

    BREAKING: Jimmy Carter hospitalized

    I agree. Whatever people might regard as deficciencies in his stance on whatever, he has done more good in his lfe than half a dozen other ex-presidents lumped together.

    Stock market?

    If you truly believer that "End is nigh" statement, you presumably see no point in hanging onto any monetary savings or investments that you possess. In which case, can I have them please?
