  • 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.

I already suggested the military to Joe. He bit my head off.
Well.....I know it looks sort of startling that way, but if you get a cape and a horse, we'll say Washington Irving sent you. Oh, and you'll need a pumpkin too.
Just so everyone knows... I detest the military.
Let's hope you don't detest veterans as well. I happen to harbor a great love of, and respect for, the military.

Joe, if there's anything we can do to get your mom to accept that there are Catholic things in the world which are not bad, let us know. I'd volunteer to talk to her, but if she dislikes Catholics, she'd probably explode if I talked to her, because she probably also dislikes everything *else* I like.

My grandfather is a Marine veteran. His brother - who survived seven WW2 amphibious deployments - was as well. I love veterans, and I love my family.

I detest military and war.

Hey Joe,

Just wanted to say that I like that tag thing on the bottom that says 'personal mom and mother' ;)

Thanks brother... Wolseley was my inspiration. :)

I hope it at least provokes some thought. In fact, it looks like it has. Check out my little rant in the Freezer. ;)

Well guys, I will try. I don't think it'll happen, but I will see what I can do.

BTW, if I do end up missing Christmas mass, I will have had a special night anyway. Tonight I went to a bookstore, and as I entered, I heard something very familiar. As I moved toward the coffee counter, I saw a classical guitar player! :eek: He was playing Christmas songs. Well, I was kind of nervous, so I didn't go over right away. I went and found myself a little book, and moved back over slowly. But as I crept toward the shop once more, I heard some of the sweetest sounds you can imagine. As I rounded the corner, I heard the ever familiar opening line, of Ave Maria. I went and sat at an empty table, alone, with my cozy little book. I've never sat alone in there, but I did this time, for Our Mommy. I sat and listened all the way through, holding tears back, and at the end I breathed an "Amen". It was truly wonderful. :)
