  • 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.

    Controlling mother

    The only way a mom could say "you're a horrible pson for wanting to move away" is if you were her caretaker or something, and even then it's pushing it. If your mom is willing to say that to you and is perfectly serious, then yes she does need counseling. Go to your pastor and ask for advice...

    Is There Such A Thing As "Non-Denominational"

    ND churches tend towards the Pentecostal side of things, but as stated by ViaCrucis, it really only means that it's not affiliated with any significant pre-established denomination. Look closely at their statements of belief and/or practices and I'm sure you'll find some small differences (or...

    Do Roman Catholics Reject Salvation By Christ Alone?

    I don't think you're arguing in very good faith here...you open with a question that many Catholics see as a tired Protestant anti-Catholic conversion attempt, and sometimes an outright attack, then promptly use Scripture to say why no one else should provoke or be mean. I don't have to use...

    [Introduction] Back after a long hiatus

    Hi I'm willard3. You may remember me as willard3. :P I joined back in 2005, had a small stint as a mod from 2006-2007 after which I fell through the cracks when the site revamped, didn't post too much for a while, came back in 2008, left again, came back in early 2010, left again, and now I'm...

    Now Playing

    And multiple systems. The two numbered ones are PS2, the one in the middle of those (Chain of Memories) was GBA but they made an officially port to PS2. I have no idea how many spinoffs after that and which systems. I am currently playing Mass Effect 3 (finishing my first character I made 4...

    What do you use an IPad for?

    Fair enough. Different strokes and all. Always good to hear a non-Apple user give reasons other than thinly veiled "I HAET APLPE RAWRRRR" screeds. :P

    Worthless, Needy, Desperate Men?

    I'm certainly allowed to feel hurt etc. after getting rejected. How badly I feel depends on how well I know the person...if we're already good friends and I feel there is something there, I will be very disappointed and confused if I get rejected. If I barely know the person, we might be able to...

    My problem

    It honestly depends on your standards and how often/actively you pursue. This comes from somebody who has relatively high standards and has never gotten accepted on a legitimate date before (though I had a girlfriend once...weird). So take everything I say with a grain of salt. Is your...

    Guy who can't drive

    I can get around fine without a car...it just takes somewhat longer. (an hour and a half to school, as opposed to 20-25 minutes by car.) It really isn't that big of an issue; I just have to depend on people more often.

    Guy who can't drive

    I'm a guy who does not have a driver's license. I just never liked driving. I always took the school bus through high school, I live near two major bus lines that get me where I need to go, I like walking, and I like riding my bike. Plus I can study or get things done on the bus since I'm not...

    Question/Answer

    As long as I don't have to be outside, then yes. What do you do for a living, and what would your next choice be if you weren't doing that?

    The trumpet sonata by Eric Ewazen. I'm planning it for my graduate recital next year. Skim, lowfat, or whole milk?
