  • 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

    California Voids Gay Marriages!

    So then the ban on topics relating to homosexuality only applies to those that are PRO equal rights, but we can gloat when rights are denied to others? Great "Christian" values that some of you portray -- hypocricy, gloating, slander . . . No wonder it's such popular religion.

    Birds of a feather

    "Yeah! you wouldn't get hit on if you wasn't askin' for it the way you dress like that" This kind of backwards "blame the women for the men's inability to behave responsibly" rational really irks me. If someone doesn't want to show skin, they don't have to -- that doesn't mean that they...

    Kerry blames Bush for the drought here in South Caolina and this area

    Yes, not just a paper but the Paper (capitalized and all). The Swan was a major discussion in our lunchroom. I still don't give that foul concept much credit though. I have to say though that Bush probably is responsible for the drought. I wouldn't put it past him at any rate. Michael

    Yes! There is absolutely nothing right with a nice group of guys trying to help a few straight men improve themselves and develop closer realationships with their girlfriends, wives and family. It is SICK SICK SICK.

    88 percent of abstinence pledgers have sex before marriage/STD rates similar

    But herin lies the problem -- many religious based programs, particularly the plege based programs teach abstinence only. I absolutely agree with everything that you've said in this post. But the abstinence programs need to be coupled with additional information, and the plege needs to be...
