  • 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 if you count Bass Lake as a pond.

Hmm. I remember some stories about the sheriff there. about 6'6" and called Tiny. Seems he was able to keep the Hells Angels in line.

Ant that leads to my question.

Have you ever met a Hells Angel?

No, but I hung around with some locally infamous Bandidos when I was young. I don't know what the situation is now, but in those days the Bandidos were powerful and did not allow a single Hells Angel in this town.

Have you ever wondered if Barney the Dinosaur was a communist?

Not exactly. But I did think he was a horrible influence on children. Conformist is the word I'd use. I happened to catch one of his shows where a kid (quite rightly) was not having fun and the whole thing was pressure to conform and act like he was having fun.

The same week I caught one of then children's shows by Xuxa, a stark contrast as there was no chance the kids would not have fun.

So the question is have you seen Xuxa's children's show?
