  • 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.

    Forgotten on birthdays

    Thanks Elijah2 for your advice. I think you hit the nail right on the head when you said they could care less. They really don't respect their father either, but it's something that I don't bring up with him. Most of the time we are treated like second class citizens, while their inlaws are...

    Forgotten on birthdays

    They are not kids, they have been adults for quite some time. I guess I have a different value system. I was taught to always be thoughtful about others feelings. If someone remembers me on my birthday, out of respect for them I will always send them something to let them know that I appreciated...

    Forgotten on birthdays

    I have several nieces and nephews. Every year for many years I have sent them something for their birthday. Two of them never remember me on my birthday. They will not even send a fifty cent card. It makes me feel pretty bad, more like I'm worthless and unwanted. Yet, they always give their...
