I am no longer able to stay on CF due to a clash in beliefs, so I'll be taking my leave. It was a very engaging time spent here, though. I met some awesome people! :love2: If anyone wants me on Skype or social media to keep close, send a PM. I'll be checking in for a day or two before...

I just finished watching a documentary on prohibition in America (Ken Burns: Prohibition, for anyone interested! It's available on Netflix). I figured it would be interesting to get the opinions of people more than 80 years after the amendment was repealed. Did you think the 18th amendment was...

http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/06/politics/bernie-sanders-republican-debates-mental-health/ As someone who otherwise supports Bernie Sanders, and as a mentally ill American, I am really disappointed by this attempt at humor. I believe he owes America an apology for this joke. It was an extremely...

Today is the 20th anniversary of the release of Nintendo's first Pokemon games! Are you a Pokemon fan? Did your family let you play it, or did they forbid it? Do you think Pokemon is a harmless game, or do you think it's dangerous? My mom (I didn't live with her) liked Pokemon at first when I...

Let's give this thing a whirl :cheer:

I've been doing a lot of reading on "extreme" dog and cat breeds lately, and I'd like to know other people's opinions. The pug is one example of what is called "extreme" breeding. Most pugs are bred to the standard that they have absolutely no muzzle. Their skulls are smashed in, they find it...

Would you say anything if you saw an employee at a place of business you were visiting not wash their hands after using the bathroom? Would you say anything if a delivery person came to your office to deliver food, and didn't wash his hands when he visited the office bathroom? If the employee...

Were you ever the one to end a relationship because it wasn't working out? Did you feel like you needed a break before jumping back in the searching/dating game again? I've had to do this a handful of times, and am about to have to do it again. I always feel bad for the other person, because I...

I've asked the question before, but with the new contraception thread, I'll ask again. Is it moral to refuse to procreate? Is it not moral? Why or why not? Would you ever choose not to procreate for any reason? Why or why not? What would you do if your spouse didn't want to have children?

Just interested in what others do! I always tip for to-go orders in restaurants. I'm getting the same food as if I'd sat down, so I don't see why I shouldn't tip. Also, a server still serves me, just not at a table.

If you have a job, do you get paid sick leave? Just curious to see how common place it is for people to have no paid sick time. I don't. I have never had paid sick leave in any job I've ever had.

What are you reading right now? What is your favorite genre? What is on your "to read" list? Do you prefer reading a physical book, an ebook, or listening to an audio book? Books!

I've seen several threads now ask things like: "When do I bring this up with someone I'm dating?" "What do I do if the person I'm dating is wanting to do something I've told them I don't want to do?" The answer: communicate early and be assertive about your decisions and beliefs. Always...

This really made me think about how I was raised and what being "Christian" means to me. I just finished reading Uncle Tom's Cabin today. It was a very good (but very sad) book. One of the main themes in the book is Christianity, and what it means to be a Christian. Starting this book off, I...

I see the idea that people should not be able to marry if they won't have kids (usually biological?) in several threads now. So here's this thread. Should heterosexual couples who do not want children at all- biological or adopted (childfree)- be allowed to marry? Should heterosexual couples...

Let me start off by saying that I am not suggesting churches become dating zones. That's not what this post is about. Neither is this about sex education, only relationship and communication skills. It is about the need for churches to be involved in the skill building of their members...

Based on a thread where the argument came up. Is having a vivid imagination a sin? What about spending a lot of time imagining things, or finding those imagined things important in some way (creatively, personally, whatever)? Being attracted or attached somehow to imaginary things (emotionally...

I don't really want to derail the thread this came up in, so here's a poll and thread! If the human race were reduced to a small number of people (thread said 4), would it be immoral (or a sin) for you to refuse to procreate for whatever reason to "save" the species? Why or why not? My...

Just a poll so we have some numbers to fall back on in the ongoing breastfeeding debate of another thread. Do you think breastfeeding in public is ok? Why or why not?
