• 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.

Yes I’ve heard the same. I have a piece saved from someone who focuses on that demographic. I haven’t watched it yet but I can post it in the morning if you’d like. He’s addressing what you said and legislative issues along those lines. I learned about the latter from an full-time rv‘er who stepped away from the van and returned to a citation. They’re making it illegal to live in a car or van and forcing you to seek assistance with shelter or risk arrest.

Yes, please post it. I want to bring as much attention as possible to the approaching storm, in every facet, at every level.

I suspect that we will soon see EBT riots; but worse, I think that it will be a controlled social experiment, to see how the population will react when the situation really gets bad.

Don't worry. The military will continue to get paid. The people who are in power will do all that they can do to make sure that there is continuity of government, no matter how many of those that they were sworn to serve are lost.

The homeless will have an opportunity to pull themselves up, by selling lawn chairs and popcorn at the upcoming nuclear weapons tests.

USA!! USA!!

This game will be more entertaining than cheering on our favorite team in the Elephants VS Donkeys Series.

Maybe global tensions are good for trade after all.

I posted it on my thread. The channel is devoted to the subject and you may want to share it with others to increase awareness.

I don’t know about that. It depends how far they’re in the weeds. Farmers markets are still open and many multiply purchasing power for SNAP customers and WIC provided coupons as well. I don’t know if that’s still the case but I remember when I worked at the farm stand

The problem with situations like this goes back to home economics. If you possessed those skills the delay wouldn’t be so bad. You’d have a practical pantry with items that would carry you through for a while. But most people don’t shop that way and were never shown how to stock up properly. Although content along those lines is plentiful and has been a focus since the lockdown. So there’s that as well.

Yesterday a thought crossed my mind and I said hustle culture is back. I didn’t have proof or any articles to reference and I poked around and it seems I was right. Another wave of growth is upon us while distractions capture our attention. It’s a lot like theater and awareness is important as-is tuning out the noise to get things done.

I had already watched some of that one; until I became annoyed with the political slant.

Here is another related one, with the word on the street:


I have great respect for the unbiased journalism presented on this channel: InRealTime

It's always a good idea to watch a video before posting it. I'm very meticulous in screening videos before I post them, to make sure that they don't violate any CF rules.
