  • 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.

    Would you get a pet from a Rescue centre?

    My wife and I got our first cat from the SPCA here. Unfortunately he was run over after about 6 months, but we now have 2 beautiful cats who share our home. Actually, they think they own the place

    Question time - add more if you want

    The "what did you accomplish today" thread (2)

    Finally got Apache to authenticate against Active Directory (computer stuff) I've been trying to get that to work for 2 days now. After work I'm going to cook my wife a nice meal and snuggle up to watch the series final of Lost

    Have you ever had someone hate you for no reason?

    There's something I remember my dad telling me when I was younger. e + r = o where e is an event, r is your reaction and o is the outcome. The only thing in the equation you can alter is your own reaction which determines the outcome. At the time I thought it was the stupidest thing I'd ever...

    People getting Aussie and NZ mixed up...

    I'll throw in my NZ$0.02. People tend to focus on the similarities between accents, rather than the differences. It took me years to learn to pick the difference between an American and Canadian accent. I still can't tell the difference between South African and Zimbabwean but I'm told there's...

    certain hours of day

    I actually think you're onto something here. Low blood sugar can cause all kinds of different reactions in people, my wife gets cold, grumpy and nauseous. Usually I just give here a couple of glucose sweets and she's fine in a few minutes. Bananas also work really well, easy on the stomach...

    What Fruit, Vegetable, Trees & Herbs &Other plants are Toxic Plants to Cat&Kittens

    I really ought to know the answer to this because my wife's a vet nurse and she has told me this before, but I've forgotten. (Curse my old age) I can certainly tell you about catnip tho, it's like kitty speed. Cats seem to go crazy and run around for some time before finally running out of...

    Can a dog be this big?

    I seem to recall reading that it's a forced perspective shot with two little people and a shetland pony.

    Too Miserable to be Christian?

    Wow, what an interesting thread. I just thought I'd drop in with some of what has helped me with my depression over the years. (Bear in mind I'm a non-Christian) G-d loves you, always has, always will and nothing you can do will ever change that. But, like all parents, he wants you to succeed...

    Hi all the way from New Zealand

    Hi everyone Just came across these forums while surfing around the net. I was actually looking for a place to share with and support other sufferers of depression and somehow wound up here. Figured I'd come in here first and introduce myself. Well, now that I've said hi, I'm off to bed to...
