  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I would be jealous if it wasn't for the fact that you live in Jumanji where every living creature wants to kill you.

Oh come on, the koalas are cute....

Cranky koala meaner than stolen croc

A cranky koala achieved what an angry croc couldn't - it beat off thieves.

The bizarre incident began when Rockhampton police in Queensland received a tip-off that someone had a crocodile in their possession. "The police came to the zoo, checked out our exhibit and we were down a female freshwater crocodile,'' said Tom Wyatt at Rockhampton City Council.

The thieves originally planned to take one of the zoo's koalas and only changed tack after it proved too vicious, 21-year-old zookeeper Wil Kemp told smh.com.au.

"The blokes have quite a lot of scratches and lacerations caused by the koala.'' The thieves then decided to take a crocodile instead.

Important: If your power or heat is out, be mindful of carbon monoxide. Most know the dangers of running portable heat indoors and to never, ever, use charcoal indoors, but it can be a problem even outside. For instance, using a grill under a carport or in a garage. Even with a garage door open, carbon monoxide can rise with the hot air right through the ceiling, where it then can cool and descend into the living area. Always exercise caution.

Since, apparently, we must be political about the storms, I'm surprised Waltz hasn't declared Minnesota ICE-land...
Walz - Waltz is someone else.

Cover the skin and windchills disappear. Weather folks like to sensationalize
True, but in a stiff wind when you don't have proper wear, it can be an issue. Once, growing up, we had a hard cold with a strong wind, and we wrapped towels around our heads to over exposed skin when we went to tend to livestock. It was still cold. Wind felt like it was cutting through.

Will defer to those who live in northern latitudes on how to dress in cold weather.

Not only are you right, but your tone is justified. Embrace yourself completely.
I would have preferred to be wrong.
I would have preferred that the President of the United States displayed a rational, fact based,science driven sound and logical behaviour. I would have preferred that Donald Trump used valid and logical arguments.
Sadly enough, he didn't and doesn't. He used fallacies, lies and he distorts the truth.

Speaking of the Bible,

Thus says the LORD:
If you remove from your midst oppression,
false accusation and malicious speech;
If you bestow your bread on the hungry
and satisfy the afflicted;
Then light shall rise for you in the darkness,
and the gloom shall become for you like midday; Isaiah 58:9
