  • 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

    These "feelings" are not absolute though and usually with a little effort & education, something you (not specifically you Mariya, but the general "you") formally didn't "like" might become something that you grow very fond of. And if you don't grow to like it, then at least you will have a...

    Modern Art

    Now this is the kind of opinion that I can respect. If the thread had originally started this way, I wouldn't be upset about it. But instead it started out with people saying that modern art is "trash" and that a chimp could do better. Certainly there are types of artwork that pose a challenge...

    Apparently so. I'll be unsubscribing now.

    well, it's good to know I am wasting my life away in art school. I wish I could say I feel enlightened by this thread... but actually I think it depressed me.

    Google some of Picasso's early work.

    Modern Art

    Modern art entails a wide range of different types of art. Abstract art and minimalist art is certainly a part of that, but so is Impressionism, Cubism, Symbolism, Fauvism, and many, many others.

    Yours is a position that I can respect, Rus, because it is clear that you have put thought into what you are saying. You are not merely dismissing anything with a wave of the hand simply because you don't "like" it. I largely disagree with you though, and most artists can & do explain the...

    Modern Art

    Some are calling it "post-modern" art. But ultimately it is future generations that will "define" the period of art we are currently in. It is generally accepted that the "modern art" period ended around 1970.

    Absolutely. And contrary to what some people like to think, their 5 year old children can not do what the Modern artists did. (And it appears that many people don't even know what "modern art" refers to.) Picasso is a common target, but what most people don't realize, is that he could draw...

    Yes, it is considered modern art. "Impressionism" was initially used as a derogatory term to describe to Monet's work. The critics hated it.

    Modern Art

    I love some modern art, and then there is some that I don't get. Sometimes after you actually take the time to learn about the artist and what they were attempting to do, then you at least gain an appreciation for their work. I really think it is unfortunate for people to just dismiss it all...

    I'm friends with him on Facebook (many of us are). It is unlikely that he'll be coming back here. It appears my days here are numbered as well.

    What the....?

    Kind of related: I've seen a sentiment expressed lately that people on food stamps/medicaid should be sterilized or at least forced onto birth control until they are off of welfare. It makes me sad.
