  • 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

    how do you explain an absent father?

    The OP is quite old now but I think there's great advice here for all single parents facing this situation. My daughter is turning 18months soon (tomorrow, actually) so obviously no questions yet... but I already have a bit of a plan for when they arise. I will tailor the actual answers i give...

    When Do You Tell Them...?

    TexasSky has some great advice. If he hasn't asked any questions yet, it may because there is something holding him back. Maybe a kid at school has said something like "you don't have a daddy because he hates you" and it's too hurtful for him to bring it up incase it's true. Or maybe a...

    Looking for a female, to meet a need/want, acceptable?

    I think i understand you... like will a woman be offended if the man is attracted by the idea of "wife" more than the person herself? When i was younger, i never dreamt of a big fancy wedding, i didnt have my bridesmaids dresses picked out when i was 8yrs old like my sister. I used to say that...

    Allah or Jesus?

    Hear, hear! :clap: It really annoys me when ppl here give Muslims or even middle eastern looking ppl a hard time because of the actions of a few... Christians have done horrid things in the name of religion too! Before 9/11 there was the IRA!! But because Christianity is a lot 'closer to...

    Skirts for Men??

    I have to say, I have always found the "men wear pants and women wear skirts for modestys sake" thinga little backward (i dont mean primitive, i mean, the wrong way round!!) To paraphrase a comedy book i read once ("The Log" by Craig Charles from 'Red Dwarf') kilts are the manliest thing...

    Music and movies with profanity and so on......

    Well, i can't tell you if it's right or wrong. I still listen to music with off lyrics or PG/R rated movies/tv shows sometimes. I do try and be careful though. I especially avoid any songs which have really bad lyrics that i might get stuck in my head, coz that's the last thing i want, some...
