• 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.

  • 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.

Wow. So much hatred of immigrants.
I don't know how much was manufactured by the constant barrage of hate speech, and how much of it is racism, and how much has a factual basis.
But with that much hate, getting rid of the criminals won't satisfy their thirst for blood.

It's like one black woman's recent comment, this has nothing to do with the price of eggs, and everything to do about keeping certain people in their place.

I found this comment in the article kind of sad.

7. “I am one year away from retirement age, which is 65. I worry that he will reduce social security benefits before I reach retirement age, putting me in a predicament of having to continue to work until 67 or even 70.”​


Sad because that ship has already sailed. Someone born in 1960 will get full retirement at age 67 already. Huff Post let that slide by as well. Sad too that anyone thinks the President has all this power. Some things yes, but not the power to change social security benefits with any executive action.
