  • 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.

i took the family to Japan in June. We were there ten days. Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka. While in Tokyo we went and took the metro train to see Holy Resurrection Cathedral, St. Nicholai of Japan’s church. What a blessing.

It is good that Japan still has churches. Are your sons Japanese (as in adopted from Japan), or half Japanese?

Cool. I do hope that your kids can find a job. And yes, I am single as well, and I do not care for dating anyone, though I will be 25 in a few months.

I don't think I'm old by any means, but when someone says they are born in the late 2000s and are in high school it makes me feel ancient :sleep::sleep::sleep:
