• 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.

what is this "farhenheight 9/11" then? havent seen it.

Basically the movie was about the attacks and how they stared in the gulf war with Bush senior was in house. It is very anti-bush! They make it seem as if it was all his fault. It is ok but I don't know how factually it really is. Anyone can create false documents.

I saw that when it originally aired. I thought it was very well done, but I wouldn't buy the dvd.

No, I wouldn't go to see a fictional film about 9/11. For me there would be absolutely nothing even remotely entertaining or exciting about it. I do think it's important that we don't shy away from this kind of event, but the thought of turning horrific real-life disasters into money-making, ratings-grabbing, Oscar-seeking movies just doesn't appeal to me.

Hollywood does it all the time - sensationalise and trivialise real life disasters and pain. The only difference with this would be it is trivialising your painful event for the sake of ratings and money.

I am sure it will happen one day. Just like they make movies abut Pearl Habor and stuff. I remember veterans going to see Saving Private Ryan, and leaving in the first five minutes cause they couldn't handle it.

I would go see it. Never forget what happened that day.

This isn't my painful event, I wasn't involved in any way and neither was anyone I know.
