  • 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.

    Change in dating standards/criteria

    Oddly enough, my standards haven't changed. It's just that, when I was younger, I was approaching it with too mature a template! Shoulda lightened up! Now I'm just waiting to grow into my own standards... :cool:

    Party for one...

    You know, I was tempted to believe that being the "jerk" just to have a woman would be worth it... until I started listening to just what they had to say about those jerks! I don't think I could stand the psychic backlash of having women talk about me that way, anywhere in the world! Ouch! Jay

    Well, it appears there is much to explore before I can even begin to participate, but I thought I'd step in here and make myself a nametag! Once I get my feet, I look forward to getting to know a few folks... "Hello, My name is Jay." :cool:
