  • 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

    Relationship status = divorced

    I would like a "divorced" option too.

    Said Goodbye to my Mother and She is not Dead

    Unfortunately not. In my case, I finally just withdrew. I didn't make a big production out of it, I just keep my distance. My mother is really just an awful person and I'd prefer not to associate with her, except when it's absolutely necessary. I am much happier now.

    I can't believe I am doing this!

    It does seem a bit presumptuous (even condescending) to "forgive" someone who hasn't actually asked for forgiveness. The most likely reason for this is she doesn't feel she's done anything wrong.

    Relief at Separation?

    Similar situation. I was relieved too. Still am, a year and a half post-divorce. Some things linger though . . . when I hear the garage door (and these days it's just my teen coming home), I occasionally still have that overwhelming sense of panic or dread or . . . I can't really describe it...

    The Social Conservatives Safe House (4)

    Wanted to pop in after, what, almost a year and a half since my last visit, and say . . . HAPPY NEW YEAR!! edited to add: looking at the list of icons below my username, I see I have a few things to change.

    Ye Olde Republican Safe House

    Michigan here too. Snyder has made enough enemies that I'm not convinced of his re-election chances. Nevertheless, the Right to Work thing was awesome (if not a bit of a surprise) and that alone makes it all worth it even if he ends up defeated in a re-election bid.

    The Real Problem!!!

    I assume you're referring to Social Security. The truth is no one "pays in" to Social Security. It is a tax (it was ruled as such by the Supreme Court back in the '30s) NOT an insurance program or investment program; and as such, no returns are guaranteed.

    Ye Olde Republican Safe House

    So I guess it's time to remove this from my vehicle? :sorry: (my neighbor had her Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker up past the 2008 election)

    What is "freedom"?

    "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose." I submit that freedom comes when you lose two things: fear and need/dependency. Case in point: my mother-in-law. For years I sucked it up and nodded my head while she did and said whatever she wanted, to me and about me. Out of...

    Ye Olde Republican Safe House

    Just wanted to stop in and say happy Labor Day. Kids start school tomorrow, and (speaking of "labor") I should probably start job hunting soon. I've delayed it long enough. I should probably mention I am not collecting unemployment--never have and I'm confident I never will so it's not like...

    Ye Olde Republican Safe House

    I REALLY wanted Huckabee. Can't get excited about the other candidates.

    Pelosi urges clerics to support Democratic policies

    I just wonder if she's also in favor of prayer/Bible reading in public schools . . . perhaps she could introduce some legislation to get the ball rolling on that.

    Christian argument on Gay Marriage

    People, no one cares if you're gay. What they care about is redefining marriage in order to discriminate in favor of a specific group of people. Why don't we find the person/entity who defined marriage in the first place (hint: it is NOT the US Government) and let them redefine it?

    Pelosi urges clerics to support Democratic policies

    I think Pelosi forgot to take her "separation of church and state" pills. FOXNews.com - Pelosi Urges Catholic Church to Play 'Major Role' in Immigration Overhaul

    Taxes lowest since 1950

    Well I can tell you that my property taxes on my house were cut considerably, since my house is now worth dang near nothing. So that's a good thing . . . right?
