  • 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

    Fun anniversary idea

    We live in the country. Where people do a lot of their own farming, hunting and stuff like that. I am a city transplant so I still am uncomfortable but most people around here it is perfectly normal.

    Fun anniversary idea

    Yep, she loves the idea. Her older sister and her husband suggested we go a little bit further but I don’t know if it is for me. After I told them how I thought what they were doing was a neat anniversary activity idea they bought us a live sow and a goose from a local farm. They said that if...

    Steak and bacon

    Have you ever tried a bacon wrapped prime rib? My sister in law and her husband made one last weekend and I would have to say it was very interesting. By some magic the prime rib ranged from rare to medium depending on where you cut from and the bacon was crispy but not dry at all. They had like...

    Have the rules of courtship changed over the years?

    Sounds a lot like prejudice... I wonder how well this would go over if you replaced the word “men” with the word “minority”

    I dunno, *politely and gently signaling* [your words] as opposed to verbalizing a desire, sounds pretty manipulative to me.

    Have the rules of courtship changed over the years?

    That’s awesome. My wife and I dated for two years with her sister And her boyfriend(the sister’s) then later prodding us along the entire way. Every one in that family just has the biggest hearts and they are some of the nicest, most inclusive and most welcoming people. They all just seem to...

    The accusation of the power imbalance was due to the fact that I had a warm car on a cold day.

    Have the rules of courtship changed over the years?

    Oh, that’s not what I meant. My mother played hard to get with my father. She said that in her day a woman just didn’t act too available and it was expected that the guy would need to be a bit persuasive and that no sometimes meant try a little harder. She was very clear though that the context...

    So to you what do you think has changed? When I was growing up I was taught that you don’t touch people unless you have affirmative consent. Now it seems like there is a push to teach young men to not even approach women with romantic intentions without affirmative consent.

    Married people couldn’t work there? That sounds like it would run afoul discrimination laws in the US

    Have the rules of courtship changed over the years?

    May I ask how old you are? Not to be rude of course. It just feels like there is definitely a divide where a certain generation believes that they have a right to not be annoyed.

    Have the rules of courtship changed over the years?

    I never said women were unfair...You said yourself that “most” people feel a certain way (you never really quantify how you get most I think it is more fair to say some but I can’t quantify that either so I will keep your terminology), so most by definition is not all. So when you say most feel...

    It seems like you may have a bit of a chip on your shoulder. Who said anything about getting mad at women for non interest?
