• 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.

are my parents right to punish me with a prison type punishment for stealing ?

i know you are right, my parents said i dont know how lucky i am that the shopkeeper didnt call the police, but the punishment is tough its not nice being locked up ?

That's why it's called punishment.

Is it extreme? Yes, but be grateful your parents are prepared to go to lengths to correct your errant behaviour before you get in trouble.

If you went to prison the room you'd be locked up in would almost certainly have bed bugs, another inmate that could be in for anything, and a constant risk of violence.

Take your punishment, reflect on it, and find new friends because your friends are deadbeats and a reflection of your future if you continue to hang around with them.
