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.
Better than a dog?

I personally am a cat person. I also like birds though. Anyway, I like cats because they are independent, more clean than dogs, won't beg you constantly for attention, are small enough to fit in your lap, and they don't usually smell. I think there are also many other advantages to cats but hey I'm biased! lol

If you think cats don't smell, try getting a whiff of mine after they've done their business in the litterbox...

Not only is a Macaw expensive to take care of, it's also very expensive to buy one. I don't think I've ever seen one for less than $1,000.

I've seen dogs running that high also but the reason for posting about the expensive care is, even if you can aforde the inital cost ($1.5K - $2K), you still have the monthly bill ($100 - $200),
I guess that's why I still only have my Budgies

Cats are obedient? I don't think I've met an obedient cat. I would go with a large parrot and that's all I can think of. You can always try to find one in a rescue which would be cheaper.

My cat is obedient. When I tell him to get off my bed and I nudge....er....push him with my foot, he does. *laughs* I dunno, my horse was pretty nice after she learned to trust me. Definitely not a lap animal though. Other than that, my rat is really nice. He likes me, comes when I call, and doesn't take a lot of money for upkeep. He's one groovy dude. I love my Henry.

I really think we as humans can learn quite a bit from dogs. If I show the loyalty to God for the rest of my life the way my dog shows loyalty to me, I'll be in heaven an hour before the devil knows I'm dead.

I think a single sheep by itself that you spend a lot of time with is eqaul, maybe better then a dog. They Love you so much. Its great. They follow you and play and come when you call them, most of the time. And they know who is there owner and listen to that person.
I know, I know. Odd thinking that a sheep is better then a dog. but I love them.
