• 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.

There's going to be a massive display of Chinese military strength on September 3 (tomorrow by my reckoning) in Peking. Trump won't be there but Putin and Kim will be. We've got a couple of Australian observers, including Bob Carr (former NSW Premier) and Dan Andrews (former Victorian premier - also responsible for over long Covid lockdowns in his own state).


Looking at the photograph of Xi, Putin and Kim, I wonder how Xi's health is holding up. There seems to be a shadow across his face (which may be nothing more than the ambient light of course).

But apparently he had a stroke early this year.


Time will tell of course. At least Xi had some empathy with ordinary Americans. Whether his eventual replacement will have the same bond remains to be seen.

I'm almost surprised that Iran and Venezuela and Cuba and Hamas and Yemen didn't send delegations.
