• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

How do you react?
I wait until the message goes into voicemail. I do not answer unknown numbers.

By the way, I asked a free, private AI on my laptop (Mistral 7B) about what it would be like if spam was banned in a fictional country 36 years ago (why 1988, cos I asked another AI the same question in 2023, and wanted to compare answers). AI is perfect for world-building and alternate history:

Alternative History Info: The Past, Conditionally: Alternative History in Speculative Fiction | Perspectives on History | AHA
World-building examples for popular media: Star Wars franchise, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings

Alright, here is the artificial intelligence rambling on about a hypothetical country that banned spam/cold calling:
