  • 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.

Can anyone publish a psychology paper?

Not easily, at least not if you are trying to publish in an academic venue. Any article placed in an academic journal must go through peer review which usually means three people with expertise in the field will determine whether or not your work has sufficient merit for publication.

It would be awesome if I won the lottery, then I could set up my own research lab.

I have so many things I'd love to test and explore. You can only do so much analyzing yourself and others.

Have you thought about pursuing a graduate degree?

Enjoying my new Galaxy S 6.

A vast improvement over my Galaxy S 2.


My wife has the Galaxy S 2. I had to get the Galaxy S 5 for college and am still trying to figure the darn thing out. I have fruit ninja and dots figured out, it’s just all the other stuff.

I have a Samsung Mega. Perfect smart phone for us seniors who are challenged with fat-fingers and poor eyesight.

Really lol? I never really understood older people and their difficulty with electronics.

Although who knows if I'll be able to handle technology when I'm older.

They'll probably have devices that enable you to talk to 10,000 people at once and argh.. lol.

I may be a little old, but I remember how to use FORTRAN and BASIC. I know Boolean algebra and can do math in binary, octal, hexadecimal as well as base 10. The young kids at McDonalds and Wal-Mart can’t even count change unless the register tells them how much to give.

But no, I understand how the machine works, it is the apps, typing or I should say pecking on the tiny screen because you sure can’t type on it. Plus the internet looks different and I miss a clickable mouse instead of dragging my fingers because my fingers more often than not will have some kind of sauce on them and the screen gets sticky.





My mother complained about “New Math” in the 1960s, well, she complains about anything, anyway, I looked at one of her old text books and was like “Mom, it is just base six and eight, how hard could it be?”

Oh, I see.. sorry for the confusion.

Right now I am in the honeymoon phase with my smartphone. Making sure it's not too scrunched in my pocket, and keeping it from any potential damages. When I got home from work today I was carrying a six back of beer and it hit my phone right in the screen. Been bothering me all day, wondering if it received any damage.

Probably in a month later and I'll no longer care about the phone, and I'll be willing to slam it against the wall whenever I receive a text or message I don't like, lol.

I can do about 130 reps now from originally only being able to do 50.

I feel my muscles are a little bigger now, just slightly. No way to tell just by looking at me. Although if I do not wear baggy clothes, I feel my body gives off a nice shape and tone. At least it's progress. I have had women tell me that I look better. That's encouraging. :)

I do not know how I feel right now. Work has me in a drag and a few days ago I let my BPD slip and pretty much raged at a bunch of people. Lost a few friendships, but I can't blame them.

I always hated the saying "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best". Only an abusive person would spout something so asinine.

All I really can do is pick up the pieces and try again. Accept the consequences and learn.

So nice to see The Drunken Peasants podcast finally airing a new live episode after almost a month hiatus.

While the show can be repetitive and at times lazy, they do bring in interesting guests. It is nice to watch a show with foul mouthed blue collar and aggressive liberals who don't cave in to SJWism.

Finally brought back dame Bette Davis as my sig and avy.

It's been more than a year. Many complained when I took her down and I suspect many have grown indifferent and won't care when I bring her back, lol.

I still think she's the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Mostly because I love baby faces and large eyes. Strangely enough she always downplayed her looks and thought of herself as rather plain.

I mean are you joking? Geeze.. If I had a girl who looked like that I'd never let her go, lol.

What's in store for the future? Bloodier and more gruesome Catholic girls..

Unfortunately I think I am coming down with something. My throat is currently draw and scratchy. Thankfully my nose is not runny, yet. As long as I can avoid the runny nose I will be cool with this sickness. I cannot think of anything worse than having a runny nose. Runny noses make sleeping a nightmare and I honestly want to just end it all, lol.

I also do not feel very intelligent as of late. There are times when my mind is clear and focused, and others when it's foggy and thick. All my life I have had people make comments that I'm a dumb person and from other people that I'm a brilliant person. The former comments have always bothered me. Perhaps they are right in some aspects. My mind is terrible at processing language, and my mind generally takes longer to process and learn new things. Although I seem to be able to build upon my knowledge better than most. Broken filter maybe. My mind has to process more junk thoughts that most people's minds automatically filter out. The plus side is I can happen unto novel ideas.

Or maybe that theory is full of crap, I don't know lol. Regardless I should probably take a break from these forums until my mind clears up before I really make a fool of myself. But I don't think I have the energy and motivation to do it, lol.
