  • 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

    North Carolina's Rare Burger Ban Makes Red Meat Illegal (VIDEO)

    Eh. Hate rare or medium rare cooked meat. Not a big fan of hamburger either. I believe people should be allowed to eat 'adventurously' but there should be a warning about eating undercooked meat and people should not be allowed to sue. Otherwise, who cares if someone want to risk e.coli...

    Doctors, groups clash over asking patients about firearms

    Dumbest. Law. Ever. First off, there seems to be some confusion as to why doctors ask about gun ownership. The reason physicians, especially pediatricians, ask about guns is to make sure they are kept safely away from children. DUH. When I was on my peds rotation, I had to also ask...

    Six Socially Conscious Actions that Only LOOK Like They help

    I agree with some of their points but thought the last point was dumb...driving hybrids doesn't help because people drive more of it? That's not the technology's fault, that's user mismangement....and it's not a good reason to continue to use nonrenweable fuel. I mean we don't encourage usage...

    12-Year-Old Dutch Girl Gives Birth on School Trip

    What I want to know is how a 12 year old manage to hide a whole pregnancy? Was she fat? Really developed looking? When I think 11, I think scrawny little kid. The other thing that jumps to mind is how her convicted molester father won custody over her mother?! Was her mother serving life...

    UCLA outraged after student Alexandra Wallace slams Asians in video rant

    I don't think she should be disciplined for speaking her mind. I don't think she's a racist so much as insensitive and showing poor manners. She was probably just frustrated with the "strange" habits of the east asians she saw around her. Perhaps she was not used to living with so many...

    Glenn Beck: Japan earthquake could be 'message' from God to follow Ten Commandments

    When I read the quote, it wasn't as obvious as what Pat Robertson said about 9/11....he seemed to try to circumvent the statement with a general "yeah, who knows why, but it's probably because there are people doing bad stuff and they should all just follow the 10 commandments". Whatever. The...

    Gilbert Gottfried Fired as Aflac Duck over Japanese Jokes

    I dunno, how long did most people wait before doing 9/11 jokes on the victims? There is a national tragedy unfolding in Japan, let's show some respect here. Or, at the very least, keep the jokes to yourself instead of tweeting to a national audience. I don't think he should have gotten...

    UCLA outraged after student Alexandra Wallace slams Asians in video rant

    She wasn't just complaining about the cell phone usage thing, but about some other things pertaining to asians. As for "90% of offenders are one of nationality", I don't know when the last time you've been to the campus library, but cell phones goes off on plenty of people who AREN'T ASIANS...

    Rush Limbaugh suggests first lady is overweight.

    Does she weigh more than 168lb? From the pics I've seen, Michelle Obama is NOT overweight, nor is she obese. Her "gut", as you put it, is normal for a woman her age. Remember that the human female figure, when healthy, is *not* the same as the skinny models you see on TV. Also, judging by...

    Man sues tour operator for failing to let him shoot an elephant

    Aren't elephants endangered? I thought there was a ban on hunting endangered species? I'm surprised the German tour company could offer an elephant up to kill. I still remember an article about a Kenyan group that invites wealthy hunters from developed nations a chance to kill endangered...

    Chick-Fil-A comes under fire for Christian DNA

    I knew the company had a conservative Christian bent. However, I don't think I'm going to eat there anymore. I feel pretty strongly about gay rights, and I would like to avoid contributing to companies that contribute to anti-gay organizations. I also hate the whole not being open on Sundays...

    Should there structured prayer time in school? {moved from prayer requests]

    Our local government decided to open sessions up with prayers from nonChristian denominations a while back. The first time a Hindi prayer was offered, people openly walked out. I guess people's mileage vary. Some are comfortable with certain Christian denominations, others with a monotheist...

    Chinese Pianist Lang Lang Plays Anti-American Tune at White House

    This is dumb. I know the Chinese lyrics to this piece as my parents used to have recordings of it growing up (oh yeah, we're really Chinese spies....). It's a song told through the viewpoint of a soldier thinking about his family and home. It was written during the Korean War yes, but it...

    15 year old charged with producing child porn of herself.

    Children's bodies are so sacred that not even children are allowed access to them. The girl made an error in judgment, let her parents deal with it. We have real child predators to catch.
