  • 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

No, I used to be, but I am kinda over that. If people want to be rude, that's their problem, I have better things to do then stew over what they say!

Have you ever been criticized to the point that you actually changed whatever it was that they were criticizing?

I'll give you my example, because that might not be clear...When I was in 5th grade, I was in choir, and we were watching the tape of our concert, and a couple girls came up to me, and told me that I sang too loud, and I needed to shut up, and that is the point I became shy and quiet, and I am still trying to grow out of being that way. (hope that explains the question a bit)

Yes. I think maybe we all have?
I've always liked to know things/learn things. The one year I went to school (grade 4) I had such a hard time understanding why the teacher was annoyed when I wanted to read a little bit more about something in our science book, or when I'd ask her a question about something or someone that was related to the lesson, but not in the text. Looking back, I'm sure the poor woman was just trying to stay on schedule and accomplish the things that needed to be done that day, but I quickly learned to shut up and stop asking questions. :( She wasn't unkind or harsh or anything, but I don't like to annoy people so I chose to stop asking. My parents noticed the change though and my mom gave me a little notebook to keep in my desk, to jot down things I wanted to look up or ask about when I got home. ;) They also decided to go back to homeschooling the following year.

Are you very much like one of your parents?
