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.

It is Japanese poetry. It rarely rhymes but it must have 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second, and 5 syllables in the last for a total of 17. Read some of the great examples below.

Cool. Thanks Lisa. I'll need to do a lot of practicing. LOL
Oh, we used to love doing these things in highschool. We had an English teacher who made us keep a Creative writing journal. She required three entries per week. On the day it was due, we would all write three haikus at lunch right before the class. It was hilarious. She would get so mad but she couldn't punish the whole class.
