  • 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

Thanks for the thumbs up on the title. I can take no credit for it--my fabulous, wonderful beta reader gave it to me as a special gift. It's immeasurably better than my previous title, and you can believe if the working title ends up being the ultimate title [chances, very slim] she will get FULL credit.

Omc--I just looked at your profile. I LOVE Scent of a Woman!! What a movie!! The acting was superb, and some of the lines pop into my mind again and again. I liked Dead Poets Society too.

Pacino is one of the greats. Yes, I love the message. Remember the part where Pacino says he always knew the right thing to do, but did the easy thing instead. [I'm paraphrasing.] I think that was a few beats before he delivered his show stopper: 'I'm just gettin' started!'

The TV version of the Devil's Advocate is also good Pacino. The movie version's language is OTT, but the cleaned up version is pretty amazing.
