  • 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

    Relationships!

    Sounds lovely, but only YOU'LL know if you can work out those differences you mentioned. Don't worry about it, just deal with it one day to the next. Compatibility is a funny thing. My husband was so NOT my type when we first met :P

    marriage, sex, contraception

    It's very wise to be cautious, but do you at least have some idea when you two will get married? I don't mean to put you on the spot, it's just that I was told the same thing you just said by my ex. As soon as we started to discuss marriage seriously, off he went lol. Not fair, is it?

    when does it turn into boyfriend/girlfriend?

    When we'd talked openly about our feelings, and kissed, I started calling him my boyfriend.

    What are YOU currently reading? (3)

    Prelate slams inclusion of sex education in public school curriculum

    Whether or not it can be corroborated, I think it's good that it's made you, as a mother, cautious about this! :)

    Prelate slams inclusion of sex education in public school curriculum

    I completely agree. I should've added that, of course, nothing should be explained to children without parents' consent as sex ed is really THEIR prerogative, if only more parents would exercise that honestly and beneficially. That sounds awful :o But I must say that I was lucky enough to...

    Prelate slams inclusion of sex education in public school curriculum

    That last thing does sound odd, I agree! Some schools in the UK teach a version of sex ed from age 4 1/2 (when children start school here) onwards. A younger cousin of mine and her class were given picture books about cats and how they have kittens, to start them thinking about family life and...

    Prelate slams inclusion of sex education in public school curriculum

    I don't see why parents and teachers can't work together to make sure their kids are empowered by the truth about sex and relationships from an early age. Open honest communication with children on this matter is possible without spoiling their innocence.

    your Literary heroes

    Angela Carter's style is gorgeous. That's my impossible ideal :) I'd love to be able to imitate Jude Morgan or Philippa Gregory.

    How "In" Are You?

    I'm finishing my last year for the time being (MA degree) by doing my dissertation over the summer. I'm blessed with a brilliant family who've paid for nearly everything, through my undergraduate studies and my postgraduate too. I should add that in the UK, being from a single parent family...

    Honeymoons

    We had ours a week and a half after the wedding. It was a long weekend in Prague, then we had to come back because of school, assessments, grr :) It was lovely while it lasted.

    I'd be very worried too...Have a talk with him. I really hope you get an answer to put your mind at rest :hug: Know you can always unburden yourself to us, here!
