  • 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 am happy if my baseball team is winning games. However that doesn't mean I want to go to their games....or watch their games on tv......or even listen to their games on the radio. I'd rather be hit by a train. It would be a quick merciful death. To paraphrase Mark Twain, "It's a terrible death.....being bored to death." :swoon:

I love listening. But only if I’m doing something else.

Even Bob Uecker gets bored broadcasting Brewer's games and often goes off on long tangents.

That’s what makes the radio more interesting. And I’m sure Mike Shannon drinks a few beers when brodcasting Cards games. :)

I think I'd rather watch my Cardinals than get hit by a train.

I'd rather watch your Cardinals than get hit by a train too. Heck, I'd even watch your Ordinals.

Bob Uecker, the former St. Louis Cardinal catcher, doesn't go off on tangents. It just seems so to those of us less educated in the finer points of baseball.

To me, I enjoy watching people excel at sports, even if I don't have any particular interest in the sports themselves. It's a wonderful display of God's work.

No no no! It's a wonderful display of evolution. Ain't you had no skoolhowzin'!?! :confused:
